Hiya there, everyone! I trust you've all been well?
I just wanted to open up this dev log by stating that I intend to have the next alpha update out by the end of this month--and if by chance things take a little longer, I'll be aiming for the very beginning of September. I thank all of the alpha testers for their patience and promise this next update will be something substantial, further ...

Hiya there,
So I'm a little late with this one, but it's been brought to my attention that I have been behind on fulfilling the high res CG rewards promised in the $15 tier and above.
For this I deeply apologise, and would like to try and get on track with things, picking up where we left off. Like before, I'm holding a poll for everyone eligible to vote for the next high res, uncomp...

Hiya there, guys! How are we all doing today?
First things thing--I apologise for the long stretch of time between this dev log and the last--I never intended for this many days to pass without updating you all on progress, so I hope I didn't cause any panic or worry! But rest assured things are going smoothly. Art is being drawn (some of the last h-scenes are getting done as we speak!) wor...

Hi there, guys!
For today's dev log I wanted to re-introduce someone royal--namely the Queen of Anzara herself: Deidra, the benevolent ruler. You might notice that she looks a little different now!
Discussing things with her artist and taking in feedback that been received before, we both agreed that her original sprite felt somewhat out of place and could be improved in a number of ...

Hiya there,
How are we all doing? Hard to believe that Summer has come and gone so quickly already and the days are starting to get colder again! I hope you're all doing well.
For today's dev log I wanted to talk about something. Namely shiny and round, and--no, get your mind out of the gutter! I'm talking about GOLD!

Hi there, guys!
With all the posts on the alpha builds and how they're coming along, I decided now would be a good time to have a break from that and put up another dev log!
This time we're looking at Claire, the bumbling merchant. She's had an appearance in the character trailer, but beyond that I don't believe I've ever fully delved into her character!
Something of a clutz a...

Hiya there, guys!
I'm happy to say that the latest build of the alpha is out, and will be sent to all those who have pledged the corresponding tier.
The download link you have at hand should be automatically updated with a new folder, too, so make sure to download from the 'Release 2' folder!

Hiya there, guys!
I figured I'd just make a post to alleviate any lingering concerns with the second alpha build not releasing on the promised 22nd date. For this, I deeply apologise, as I genuinely believed I could have it up and running by that time frame.
Needless to say, several scenes ended up being far longer than I anticipated to script out and add in the necessary CG/sprite cues fo...

It's about that time again for a new dev log, whoo~ I trust you're all still having a pleasant summer? I'm doing what I can to survive through the heat!
To start things off, I'd like to mention that I intend to release the second build of the alpha very soon, the 22nd of July to be precise. I'll be adding in several more playable quests, along...

Hi there guys,
So, after yesterday's question on what you might like to see a full dev log on, regarding some of the lore around Quest Failed, an overwhelming amount of you have asked about the human/monster relations and how they work in this world. Of which I'll be more than happy to base this particular dev log on~ So get nice and comfy and prepare yourself for lots and lots of words!

Hiya there!
For my next dev log I would like to potentially explore and expand on the setting of Quest Failed a bit more and dive into a bit more detail regarding particular subjects.
However, there's a wide range of things I could start with, so I was wondering if there was anything you guys were more curious about first! I won't hold a poll, and instead will leave it more open in t...

So with the alpha finally out, I have a chance to go back to a more regular schedule on things and deliver to everyone a new dev log, as it's been a little bit since the last one.
I'd like to take the time here to introduce a new character: Amy, the crystal fairy~
She's a small creature born from crystal, no taller than a typical human finger. Harnessing ener...

Hiya there!
I wrapped things up a bit later than I intended today for the first alpha build release, but it's still the 5th in some countries, so it counts!
The build is now uploaded and ready to go! I'll be sending it to--and rapidly updating it for all those who are pledging $25 or more--and by the end of the month I'm sure it will have a great deal more content for you to enjoy~

Hiya there,
The full resolution Nefertari piece should now have been sent to all those eligible ($10 and up). Please let me know if for any reason you're entitled to this piece as well, yet didn't receive it (processing late, etc.) and I'll try my best to resolve this issue!

So, I guess it's time to talk about the biggest elephant in the room--the fact that the fabled Alpha release has yet to have materialized itself.
Needless to say, I vastly overestimated my ability to deliver this promised segment of the game out in a timely manner, and it's been an overwhelming source of guilt on a daily basis. For this, I deeply apologise for everyo...

Hiya there!
Yesterday I posted a stream of art in progress by one of our dedicated Quest Failed artists, as they wanted to give back to the community and do something fun that everyone could take part in.
It was a really fun stream, and I'm happy to have seen so many of you take an interest in it! (There was even a visit from the closest thing to Tari herself--her VA, Venus LeMay~)

A bit later than I intended maybe for this dev log, as the days just seem to fly by, but I've made sure to make this one a pretty in-depth one to make up for it!
The first thing you've more than likely noticed is the lovely horned lady adorning this particular dev log. I'm not going to divulge too much of her character personally, to keep the mystery, but would like to t...

What the focus of this bonus art might be? Well, that's a secret~ But I guarantee it'...
