SDA 4.1 Dry Run II, and Important News!
Added 2023-08-16 14:04:47 +0000 UTCHello, folks!
Kerstyn and I have completed our dry run for the second segment of Version 4.1. I've previously shared the finished audio recordings for the custom content, which forms the first part of this update.
Given the extensive content I've crafted for Version 4.1, it surpasses being just an 'Interim' update or an 'Anime Filler Arc' (which many tend to skip). I've decided to rename it "Echoed Tales!" This title aptly captures the essence of the update, reflecting its depth, character development, lore expansion, and immersive features. You can access the changelog and script sheet at the provided links.
Next week, Kerstyn and I have another recording session planned. We still need to address the NPC Banter Rewrites and Daegon Banter. I'll provide updates on our progress.
Regarding managing the workload for these comprehensive updates, I'm onboarding another developer, "Doc", who has been assisting with miscellaneous code improvements. Additionally, I'm delighted to welcome back my former co-writer, Kanrit, to contribute to the scripts. Kanrit played an instrumental role during the mod's early stages, especially refining the initial Serana Romance. Ideally, Doc will start helping me with SDA 4.1 and Ashe 0.4, with Kanrit helping with future SDA and Ashe content (4.1 and 0.5-Ashe release) respectively.
Kerstyn operates on a flexible timeline, ensuring quality in her voice recordings. She's aware that I'm always accessible for discussions in our Discord SDA/Ashe chats. As for me, I know to take breaks (and vacations) when needed, so don't worry about me!
I recognize that the Serana replacer has been pending for some time. EDDante, the talent behind the high-poly visuals of Seranaholic (featured in this Patreon post's image), has offered his assistance. Our goal is to transition this project from the backburner, especially given the anticipation for an 'official' SDA appearance. While Seranaholic 1.5 has been a staple, a fresh look might be on the horizon. We'll see, hehehe!
Thanks, stay awesome folks!

2023-08-17 02:44:35 +0000 UTCI was filled in by a recent Reddit post, though some Patrons on Discord said some good inputs. I've since reached out to Daegon clarifying on the extent of the rewrites, also saying I would have appreciated a more detailed notice beforehand. I was interested in the 1.0 character and I need to be sure I'm still interested in 2.0 (as different as she is) before proceeding with the banter. That is not even regarding how her community reacts, how she reacts to controversy from an optics standpoint, or the fact that she kinda deceives her Patrons (the people who care most about her). I did not say these in my message to her but I believe they will weigh heavily on the route I decide to choose - no banter or yes banter. I get that she's already recorded dialogue, but I can't simply ignore what I've seen. Also the only thing she told me before about the rewrites is that "Daegon is not from Skyrim anymore". I didn't expect a full fledged fukin isekai.

2023-08-17 02:44:11 +0000 UTCCan't wait, but I hope the Daegon banter just doesn't happen at all. Considering the controversy with Daegon 2.0 and the major rewrite it apparently has undertaken, hopefully a different colab will happen instead.
