With my throat starting to heal this week, I got back into things and we made some nice progress this week!
Maya was definitely the big winner here, she got several new scenes pushing her growing relationship and fleshing her out, along with a bit of hinting about future animal girl stuff. I've got her next CG ready, so this week I'm gonna try to write that scene up as well.

Ok so I spent the last week tryna survive a upper respiratory tract infection which got in the way of some of my plans, buuut we still had a decent week! Just less writing than I had hoped.
Got a number of commissions started (characters, CG, music) and Maya's standing seggs CG finished.
Cryomancy also got a major update, and now has more spells/traits than most elements. The goal w...

I'm back from my trip and getting back to work on Divine Dawn!
0.23b was just uploaded for Patreon/Itch, with a variety of bug/typo fixes and Rosalyn's theme as new content.
Maya's next CG is done, and I'm getting started on the next few commissions for art/music. Should be 2-3 in this update.
I'm aiming for around February 5-10 for 0.24. I'd really like to get back to monthly...

When I return, I'll do another bug/typo fix update and move into 0.24 as soon as possible! Gonna aim for late January or early February for its release.

I don't think I can talk about her too much without spoilers, but this is the lady that ol' hob grandpa was talking about! Still pretty small by the standards of waifus, and maybe a little too genocidal to qualify as a waifu, but she's kinda... cool maybe? not a horrifically ugly crone at least~

I got a little sidetracked on posting CG sketches due to other stuff popping up, but I really liked this one of Sam and wanted to share it as well!
It's a touch rougher than we've done much with so far, but gotta have some spice in life. Fortunately, the MC is such a nice guy that he's even helping hold Sam's hair in place so she can be comfortable while he cleans out her plumbing - what ...

This week's word count was OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAND yeah don't worry I know I'm exactly as funny as that meme. But it was actually a bit over 9k, which isn't bad, that's another 45 minutes or so?
Beyond that, I finally finished Vale content, added Ashley's first martial arts training scene, started/got back several commissions, and have the CGs ingame. I just have a bit more writing to do...

Haha, get it, FLATcolor? Because she's kinda flat for a minotaur? God I'm hilarious.
Anyways, while I alt-f4 myself, enjoy Cowmina. That last pic is a meme that would probably get me sued if I used it ingame, but otherwise the design is real and more or less finalized. Her IQ may be beneath room temperature, but she's cute, strong, stylish, and milkable (maybe).

I haven't decided yet if this guy will show up in the area after Vale or as a swap near the end of Vale after the plot concludes, but we'll burn that bridge when we come to it. The idea of a forest spirit with bits of bird and wolf in them sounded cool, and honestly, I like how he came out quite a bit! Feels appropriately mystical and unexplainable.
2022-12-13 22:11:46 +0000 UTC View PostOne of the more important new characters of the Vale is the hob patriarch, Eldrad. You'll run into him at the end of the Vale, to answer some more questions and offer your character the information needed to prepare for the final decision of [whatever I end up calling the last area of the deepwoods]
I haven't decided yet if there will be a chance to turn Eldrad into a minor party member d...

So, uh, Nor hit me with some sketches earlier, and they got me ACTING UNWISE. Since I've been writing a lot of butterfly mommy I wanted to show off this one first. It's kiiinda crazy to me how just a rough sketch already looks better than most finished art I've seen, but the *thiccness* and softness is just... man.
2022-12-07 21:54:42 +0000 UTC View Posttl;dr: Which poll options would you be OK with happening?
I've had a few people ask me about trying to get some kind of content into the game or offer to pay for something. I figure it doesn't hurt to see what you guys would be okay with as options, while I try to figure out what I'm okay with.
To be very clear, none of these are guaranteed to happen 2022-12-06 08:43:13 +0000 UTC View Post
A great week for writing! Ended up with around 12,000-13,000 words in total, covering a good portion of the next story area and some of the characters featured within it. Rosalyn is a sweetheart, and the Harp should be cool.
Various commissions started or ongoing this week, some music, art, etc. More on those as they get further along.
Once I finally finish the Vale I should be pret...

I don't know if yall are as hyped for these as I am, but MAN I love the new sword and shield icon. The bows and harp look great too, but actually having a real SnS icon is the most exciting part of the update for me LMAO.
Pleasantly surprised the bow icons look genuinely different now too, should help differentiate them!

After how cool some of the previous ones came out, I went ahead and commissioned a bunch more from the same guy to try to offer a more consistent weapon artstyle. Ended up getting 13? or so in total, with four of them here!
Greatsword, Dual Daggers, Unarmed, and Staff all came out looking really good, and the greatsword kinda reminds me a little of Guts' sword. TOO BIG, TOO THICC, TO BE C...

2022-11-21 22:37:34 +0000 UTC View PostTook a bit of a detour this week, focusing on the upcoming area and fleshing out some mechanics instead.
For starters, I did the new Harp weapon, which will be unlocked in the Deepwoods Vale from the butterfly girl. It's a Magic/Charisma hybrid support weapon, with some decent support abilities, as well as a decent variety of harp-unique channels. They're slightly weaker than some, but co...

Ok yeah I could keep spamming amazing Maya art until the cows come home, but for the sake of a bit of variety I figure it doesn't hurt to switch back to some Rosalyn for today!
She's not likely to get any CGs this update, probably next time, but her art does have some lewder variations that I thought it might be fun to share. A woman of many talents, and much booba.
