Version 4.1 and Ashe Roadmap

Hey folks! Going forward, here's an exclusive sneak peek at what I got in store for Ashe and SDA. You guys get to hear this first before I announce this to the rest of the community!

1. Kerstyn and I still gotta finish the audio rework for Version 4.0 first. TLDR: Kerstyn had an equipment accident, which led all her 4.0 lines to sound slightly different. We managed to fix the problem and are completely redoing the audio, which will take some time (I mean, there's 1k+ lines). However, we are prioritizing this, so currently expect it to be done within a couple weeks, right before or after Version 4.0's official release. This will be released as a 'bugfix' update to the public as soon as it is finished.

2. Kerstyn and I will quickly switch gears to Ashe 0.2 and set our sights on finishing that. You guys will get sneak previews and a playable dev build here on Patreon when its ready! This will also be available to Xbox people, similar to how I did it for SDA.

3. Version 4.1 is being retooled as sort of an 'Interim Update', with most of its contents shifted back to Version 4.2, for the proper Part II to Daedric Emergence. It's still gonna have awesome new content (and custom names, no announcement now as 4.0 is technically still a W.I.P) but the content will just be less. I'm still prioritizing Hearthfires Child Interactions and Daegon Banter though, as they're both highly requested and won't require enormous amounts of work. For the latter, the Daegon VA has already recorded her lines.

This 'Interim Update' will allow me the time I need to fast-track development on Ashe, as if at all possible, I'm still aiming to have her release ready by the end of the year. More details in the development roadmap.

4. Once the interim update is finished, and/or I've done a decent amount of work on Ashe already, the big SDA stuff will formally resume with Version 4.2 (Daedric Emergence Part II). It'll have more daedric quest commentary, and Vigilant (at the earliest).

This is all still subject to change! Keep you guys posted.

Thanks, and stay awesome folks.
