Thanksgiving Dev Update: Ashe and SDA 4.1!

Hello everyone!

The holiday season is quickly approaching, with Thanksgiving just around the corner for our American friends and a belated one for Canadians. I'm currently in Canada, enjoying the home of Maple Syrup and Timmy Ho's Double-Doubles. Soon, I'll be heading to Dallas for our Patreon and Kerstyn meetup. Can't wait to see those who can make it! For those who can't, I'll share photos and updates of our fun times.

I've been a bit quiet on social media and the mod page lately, as I'm in semi-vacation mode. But I'm still diligently working on Ashe every day. Let's dive into some updates:

-- Ashe Update:

By the end of this month, expect some concrete dev previews and updated testing builds of Ashe. She's nearly ready, featuring a full set of features, radiant dialogue, and more, though the main quest is still in the works. The outline is done (beware of spoilers in the character sheet link), but the dialogue needs writing, which I plan to tackle late November and early December.

Recording with Kerstyn could begin as early as January, and I'll be casting other characters soon too. If all goes well, coding will start in December, setting us up for a potential February release of version 1.0. I know it seems a bit far off, but time flies, and soon I'll be modding Starfield!

Why the wait? Ashe is a massive project, akin to the Dawnguard DLC in scale, with over 2,000 lines (just for Ashe) expected at release and SDA-level features. Creating something this extensive as a solo developer takes time, so I appreciate your patience!

-- Trueblood:

As you might know, Trueblood is already out! If you haven't tried it yet, check out the links on Patreon and my socials.

-- SDA Version 4.1:

Version 4.1 is essentially complete and available in early access. It's delayed Ashe a bit, but trust me, it's worth it. With as many lines as Version 4.0, it's a significant update. Expect it to remain in early access until mid-December, just in time for the holiday season.

That's all for now, folks. Stay awesome!
