Weekly Devlog: 8 - 14 April 2024

Hello Patrons! I hope you're all having a wonderful Sunday 😊

This past week was spent with updating the demo for the Ishari and Vinia tiers. I also used the time to complete the side stories for March. As of tomorrow, I will be returning to work on the rest of Chapter 9.

There's still the family scene (optional), RO/companion dialogue scenes to discuss the ramifications of where ...

Side Stories Post

Hello Patrons!

I just wanted to let you know that I will no longer make individual posts for each side story. Once all side stories are completed for a specific tier, I will then make a master post with the story links and descriptions etc.

However, I will still post the stories on itch.io before those master post announcements. To get the link to the side stories, use the search bo...

  • Ishari Tier: 8th April 2024

  • Vinia Tier: 11th April 2024

  • Cyre Tier:...

Do you want more name options?

While we wait for the update, I wanted to find out if any of you would be interested in more name options at the beginning of the game? Originally, I just added random names that would suit the game world, but since then, the game has broadened quite a bit and so I thought it might be nice to include more game-region specific names. This is more for those of you who enjoy having names from the ...

Chapter 9 Part B is complete 🎉

The second part of the mini-update is now complete. That said, I'm not happy with some of the scenes which I'll come back to expand on later during edits. I wanted the gift-giving scene with Rana to include a scene where she notices the jade chest with Ahlf's letters but if I had included that, I'd probably not have finished the update by this week.

This new update will be about 37-38K wo...

Hello Patrons! I hope you're having a lovely Easter weekend and enjoying the final weekend of March.

This week, I mostly worked on the dialogue scenes with the Vinia family and completed both Siduri and Belahm's scenes. I started working on Zikar's scenes and I still have a bit to go before his are complete. I have to still do the divine blessings talk and then a talk on Salyra, before it...

Not everything about the divine blessings is good...

I can happily say that Belahm's scenes are officially complete and the next scene is Zikar's. I'm off from work tomorrow and Monday (due to the Easter weekend), so I'm hopeful to get most if not all of the dialogue done for Zikar tomorrow or ...

Hello Patrons 😊 I hope you had a lovely weekend and are enjoying the last bit of Sunday.

This past week, I worked on Zikar's night dialogue scene and then on the funeral rites/ceremony scene. Both were completed and I moved to the early dialogues with the Vinia family members. There's three separate scenes to write and there's still a scene to include for Rana, so I estimate to be done...

Hello Patrons 😊

Work on Chapter 9 has been going steadily. I've made progress on the arrival scenes and Zikar's scenes. Next up will be the grieving scene and one-on-one dialogues with the Vinia family. Then I'll move on to the political aspect of the chapter.

The end of Chapter 9 will conclude with players deciding on whether they'll be pursuing an alliance with the Nomad Tribes...

Hello Patrons! I hope you're having a lovely weekend 🌼

This past week saw me complete the dialogue scenes depending on who you chose to comfort the MC. I had thought about only having Salyra who would approach the MC, but then I realised that for players who do have antagonistic relationship with her, having Salyra opposed to an RO for comfort might not be enjoyable 😅

Now that...

Determining RO Side Stories

As a Cyre Tier Patron, you receive one RO story per month. I usually create a poll so that the choice with the most votes is shared with you. That said, it is very evident that Irus has won each and every poll since the dawn of the Cyre Tier.

Going forward (April onwards), I wanted to know if a change should be implemented so that other RO stories are featured instead of just Irus. I don'...

Chapter 9 Sneak Peek - Elora

After the end of learning the Vinia family's news, you will be able to be 'comforted' by one of the four companions and since this is a family affair, Salyra too. It's a tiny scene that isn't more than a single choice but I think it'd be weird that no one acknowledges what the MC has just learnt.

This sneak peek is from the aggressive response you can have to Elora's concern.

Hello Patrons 😊 I hope March has started off well for you.

The entire of last week was spent beta testing the mini update, and because of my real life schedule and starting a new job, I didn't have time to post the polls for March's side stories. I will post those polls in the next few days and then I'll move to continuing the rest of Chapter 9. I'll likely do another mini update this ...
