Hey hey! 👋

Here’s a new progress update! Quite a lot has changed since the last one… and that was already a month ago.

First of all, the entire introduction of the episode that takes place at the castle is now finished. This includes several dialogues about the upcoming journey, as well as two H-scenes:

one fairly short scene set in an idyllic location,

and another much longer one, with two variations, featuring a character many of you have been hoping to see again since Episode 1… 😉

There will also be a small scene with Regina for those who chose the path of forgiveness. Nothing erotic here — it's mainly meant to move her storyline forward.

I've also already completed the departure and arrival for our first travel destination, which will come as no surprise: Dulgate. This part is followed by a long introduction scene for the important characters who will appear in this episode.

The journey will also include a very short H-scene with Kayane (more of a small bonus than anything else). This part of the episode taking place in Dulgate will actually be heavily focused on Kayane 😺, much like Episode 1 was essentially Sylvia's episode.

All of that is already done, and I'm currently working on the second major H-scene of the episode. It will feature three variations:

one with Kayane alone,

one with Kayane and a new female character introduced in this episode,

and a third one with this new character alone while Kayane is busy with someone else (for those who enjoy NTS content 👀).

Most of the animations for this scene are already completed, but I still need to do the renders and coding, so expect about one more week of work before it's fully finished.

At this point, the episode currently stands at:

4138 lines of code

493 renders

39 animations

It's already turning into a pretty big episode! 💪

With that said, I wish you all a great weekend, and take care!

Hey hey ! 👋

Nouveau progress update ! Pas mal de choses ont évolué depuis la dernière fois… et ça remonte déjà à un mois.

Tout d'abord, toute l'introduction de l'épisode qui se déroule au château est terminée. Cela inclut plusieurs dialogues autour du voyage qui s'annonce, mais aussi deux H-scenes :

une assez courte se déroulant dans un endroit idyllique,

et une autre beaucoup plus longue, avec deux variantes, mettant en scène un personnage que beaucoup d'entre vous espéraient revoir depuis l'épisode 1… 😉

Il y aura également une petite scène avec Regina pour ceux qui ont choisi la voie du pardon. Rien d'érotique ici : il s'agit surtout de faire progresser sa storyline.

J'ai aussi déjà réalisé le départ et l'arrivée vers notre première destination de voyage, qui sera sans surprise Dulgate. Cette partie est suivie d'une longue scène d'introduction des personnages importants qui apparaîtront dans cet épisode.

Le voyage sera également agrémenté d'une très courte H-scene avec Kayane (plus un petit bonus qu'autre chose). Cette partie de l'épisode se passant à Dulgate sera d'ailleurs fortement centré sur Kayane 😺, tout comme l'épisode 1 était l'épisode de Sylvia.

Tout cela est donc déjà terminé, et je travaille actuellement sur la seconde grosse H-scene de l'épisode. Elle comportera trois variantes :

une avec Kayane seule,

une avec Kayane et un nouveau personnage féminin introduit dans cet épisode,

et une troisième avec ce nouveau personnage seul pendant que Kayane sera occupée avec quelqu'un d'autre (pour les amateurs de contenu NTS 👀).

La plupart des animations de cette scène sont déjà réalisées, mais il me reste encore à faire les rendus et le codage, donc comptez encore environ une semaine de travail pour la finaliser.

À ce stade de l'épisode, on en est à :

4138 lignes de code

493 rendus

39 animations

Ça commence à faire un sacré morceau d'épisode ! 💪

Sur ce, je vous souhaite à tous un excellent week-end et prenez soin de vous !

Amazing dev log, thank you ❤️

Not asking for spoilers of this update just wanting to know... it seems like this one might be going faster for you, is it because of the different systems you employed with .3 like the end of update free roam and the deer woods investigation just figuring out how to employ those or what. I know the end of update free roam will be at the end of .4 but you will just add minor things here and there instead of the whole system since it's already there, so is that why it seems to be going faster this time or do you possibly have another system idea to employ that will slow it down later down the road?

The development is moving at the same pace as the previous patch, so it’s probably just an impression on your side. When I first wrote the story, I tried to divide the main plot into roughly equal segments so each episode would end up being about the same size and take a similar amount of time to develop. The previous episode was a bit of a special case, though. Going further in the story at that point would have meant cutting the update at a frustrating moment for players, so it was the perfect opportunity to use the remaining development time to implement the free-roam system. That said, it’s true that the different gameplay mechanics that are already in place (like free roam, the combat system, the relationship screen interface, or the investigation mechanics) now require little to no development time anymore—mostly just small additions. That does free up more time to focus on the story, even though the writing itself will likely take longer as the branching paths and player choices become more complex.

Oh I feel like I'm tripping my bad, I stg I did the math not to be right but just cause I thought it was faster this time and it actually kind of was by 1 week. From the release of .2 to 24% of .3 was 7 weeks, the release of .3 to 24% of .4 is 6 weeks. My bad lol, still a great game and I'm excited for .4, I even purposefully grinded my way to lvl 16 for me Kayane and Sylvia and got as much money as possible for whatever you throw at us. Also not asking for spoilers but I'm pretty sure that yes we will get dark magic but I can't wait to see what kind of character you come up with for light magic since while who knows if we will get to use it, I'm sure you have a plan somewhere down the line for us to at least see it. Much love and keep up the great work.

Man, Regina forgiveness path will have to be a banger with how long it all take. :)
