Update 8 - Behind The Scenes (The Seven Realms)

Writing:

We're in America, and some tension has risen between Naya and Gina. It may be strange, but I had a lot of fun writing this update. I loved Gina coming across as so shameless. Atlas' comebacks too.

With this update, I wanted to show the differences between Atlas' behaviour with the people he's bonded to compared to others. We have established that he was something of a man-whore before meeting Leyala. He has changed drastically since meeting her, but that caring attitude doesn't automatically apply to everyone.

We also had some insight into Naya's emotional state. She shared her concerns about what was happening. She also explained some of the subtleties of werewolf culture and how Gina's behaviour is not acceptable by their standards.

Do you feel that Naya is just overly suspicious of Gina? Or could there be something deeper that Gina is hiding?

Update 8 is the first part of a two-update arc revolving around this story with the wolves. I will expand some of the more minor details set up in this update further in the next update.

Technical aspect:

This update was another instance of not finding the right assets and environments I had imagined when I wrote the scene. I can't wait to become proficient on Blender to create my own assets in the future.

We also added some additional lewd renders in this update whilst Atlas was on the phone (if you chose to let Leyala continue). You are shown more dialogue and images the longer you can keep Zyair on the phone. From a coding standpoint, this was hardly an advanced mini-game, but we thought that it added a potentially funny and sexy interaction to the update.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed playing the update and are looking forward to the next part of the story.
