Erica ~Knight of the Sun~ Devlog 01.05

01.05 Dev Log

⦁ Gameplay Improvements

Reduced jump delay
In the previous system, there was a fixed delay during both the jump preparation and landing phases.
This made the controls feel unresponsive and prevented players from moving across platforms at their desired timing.
This issue has now been improved.

Unreasonable map elements have been adjusted
(We will continue monitoring and refining other areas as well.)

Terrain that could cause unpleasant movement experiences has been revised.
This includes jumping over puddles in Stage 1, difficulty locating the Stage 2 map [Phaethon’s Chariot], and areas that were hard to reach even with jumping.

Sound effects added during masturbation

A cathedral door object has been added to the Stage 1 [Cathedral Entrance] map

Many players seemed to have difficulty finding the cathedral required to fight the boss [Bella],
so the entrance has been made more visually clear and noticeable.

Fixed a bug where Denice’s roulette could be used without coins

Destroyed walls in Stage 2 are now properly saved
Previously, walls destroyed by bombs were not saved after reloading.
Thank you to MurmUrren for the helpful feedback.

Fixed a bug where pot-breaking sounds did not play in Stage 1

Improved visibility of control instructions in some UI elements, including the title screen

Reduced the objective value of the Stage 1 [Farrel] quest from 3000 to 1500

Reduced the frequency of customer harassment in the Stage 2 [The Rolling Stone] tavern minigame

⦁ In Development

Main UI overhaul in progress
The previous status tab served little practical purpose.
In future updates, it will display slightly erotic experiences, internally tracked values
(such as number of monsters defeated, masturbation count, and number of H encounters), and achievements.

Erica’s condition will gradually change based on these values.
The UI will also show:

• The current main quest

• Recent story events

• Current stats

• Unlocked Blessings of the Goddess (abilities)

We are also considering additional character growth elements using the game’s main currency.

Warp popup improvements and a minimap tab will be added to the main UI
When warping from a goddess statue, a preview screen will indicate the approximate destination.
From the minimap tab, players will be able to use specific items to warp directly to maps containing goddess statues.

⦁ Stage 3 Development

Stage 3 is currently in development.
This stage represents the dark side hidden beneath Stage 2, the Forgotten Village,
and will be a space that constantly threatens Erica.

Through the story revealed in Stage 3,
we believe Erica’s true purpose and motivation will become much clearer.
As development progresses, portions of Stage 3 will be gradually revealed.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support and encouragement!
