Newsletter April-May 2020

Greetings Patrons and Patronettes, 

We hope that the warm summery weather finds you in good health and high spirits.

It is time for a special ManorStories newsletter, a double-release of content from April and May! We are on the home-stretch for Sylvia development, and are thus churning out lots of new changes and additions each week.
In this article we will cover the most major of those changes and update you on the development progress. 

Sylvia

As you know, the story in Chapter 4 branches into three major paths; one for each girl. So far we have been working on Sylvia's branch, but we are now turning our attention to Valérie.
Will she get her happy ever after? We can't wait for you to play what we have prepared for you so far!

We are looking to develop Valérie's path until it catches up to Sylvia before moving on to Léa's path sometime in June.
Currently, the most recent addition to Valérie's path is the "caress" interactive scene, which will be also expanded slightly with new expressions and reactions.
Another sexy scene that naturally follows this one is also in the works.

Please have a look to this vidéo preview of the "caresses scene":

The scene will be voiced by VoiceLikeCandy in June.

The casting process for finding a voice actress for Claude and her cronies will be complete in the next few days. 

The voice of Claude is the final casting call for the game that we are making, and we have decided to work with Juicybee Casting to find the right person for the role. We are looking to announce the results in mind June after which we will proceed with recording.

Following our rebranding campaign that started with our Patreon page, we are currently in the process of updating the game's UI. LalaBun is re-designing all necessary assets to give the game a fresh and modern look.
This is a very slow and delicate project as we feel that the game's UI very much defines its identity, and we want to take care to keep the UI as intuitive and easy to use as possible.

Audio Stories

While developing Sylvia, we are also writing and producing new audio stories on a regular basis. We thoroughly enjoy the collaboration with talented VAs!

Currently two stories are in production, illustrated by LalaBun. For now we will keep the casting of the voice actresses as a surprise (no spoilers).
Here is an early sketch for the cover of one of them:

Let's take the opportunity to praise her work,passion and involvement. Her contributions shaped the game visuals, colors and writing style greatly.
