February Status Update

Greetings, been too long since my last update. Busy weeks and all...

So, let me give you all a quick rundown on the progress of Stella's arc:

- Writing is mostly done. On this arc it's really time for my co-authors to shine, as we will be getting a lot of scenes with Aline and Akari (no pressure here 😉). While Morlas did an amazing job at proofreading on the Xici-Arc already, this time a lot more scenes will be directly written by Silva and Morlas, bringing Aline and Akari properly into the main cast. 

Of course, there is still some work to do as these scene are mostly in word documents and need to be implemented it the game's engine alongside placing the images and adding the code. 

And writing Stella has been a blast. Our bratty, naughty girl with too much strength for her own good is very interesting to write and a nice change of pace from 1 month of only doing Jade and Xici. 

- Coding is easy on this linear story-arc again. But just like with the Xici-arc, things are already happening behind the scenes. Some changes on combat are already planed, as we need to prepare Gina's big assault on the lab. Adding a third character to the team, create a few new enemy-types and the next boss. 

Also, maybe if I find spare time, I had this idea of a proper town map instead of menu items to travel... but story first and weird ideas later...

- Images are always my favourite thing 😑. Always the last to get finished... And this time we don't even need intricate growth-scenes or like 3 new image sets for a character who quickly goes through sizes. But of course me and Belg attempted to do some soul-crushing images with multiple characters interacting with each other, so... yeah... not the AIs favourite thing to do. So this takes some time. 

- In conclusion we are progressing, but there's a lot to do. Since I suck at keeping release dates, I'm not gonna say two weeks now, even it it seems feasible...  but no... when it's done. So let's see what tone my post in two weeks will have... 😅

Anyway, have a lovely week and I'll stay in touch.
