Hey, guys! This update completely reworks the "Missionary" position for Yotra, introducing both new functionality and increasing the duration of the animation. Total anim's duration was increased by ~10 times.
No need to start the new game, you can use the saves from the version 0.12. If you decide to start a new game, then in the main menu, in the bonus menu, you can select the "Lovelace" bonus. This bonus will allow you to test the new pose without having to complete Yotra's quest...

Hey, guys! All the main work on the updated animation for Yotra is over. At the moment, I'm working on fixing bugs, and I'm also working on testing the build. And yes, thanks again to all the testers for the help!
Build 0.12.1 will be released in early access this Sunday. Early access will take about a week, and after that, the build will be released to private access.
Hey, guys! The animation for Yotra is almost finished. At the moment, the animation is almost 5000 frames, which is almost 2 times more than Vlada's. Most of it came from the new animations for Yotra's upper body and facial animations were carefully designed to bring vivacity and show Yotra's character.
From a not very pleasant point of view, I can say that dynamic animations of the lower body would be postponed for the time being due to engine limitations. To be more precise, due to mo...

Hey, guys! Work on animations goes as usual, but due to being busy last few days and bugfixes, I've managed to do a bit less than planned.

Hey, guys! Let's talk about plans for the future and my work experience for the beginning of June.
And yes, version 0.12 has an update that fixes some bugs. So if you had any problems, you can give it a try (saves are supported).
Plans
The next build will be released as a tech-build and will contain only an adult part. This approach will allow me to save time on development, because the map is growing and loads my PC more and more. Also this will allow you to...

Hey, guys! Today Aurora turns 7 years old and it's time to sum everything up. Unfortunately, the development dragged on for a long time, and the game did not find any success among players. At first, I thought that it was all about the lack of content and that the situation would change over time, but in the end, from year to year, everything only became sadder. And yes, I won't be blaming the players for anything, and admit that the blame is only on me. I apologize for this, and I hope in th...

Hey, guys! Build 0.12 is already in the testing stage and will be released on June 1st. In the meantime, I would like to hear your opinion: what should I work on for the next build? Adult content or RPG elements? Below I will leave the main ideas on these points.
Adult content
Hey, guys! According to the work plan, I have only Brynja's animation to do, fix the little things and ready to release build 0.12. I have already started work on the animation for Brynja, but unfortunately there is nothing to show yet. I can only say that according to the plans, it will be made in new 'standards', similar to the one that Vlada had and will even include some more functionality.
Gameplay
Hey, guys! After updating the grass, I was bothered by the situation with fps drawdown, and therefore I decided to fix this problem. As a result, I changed the method of rendering vegetation and due to this I got an increase of ~30 fps.

Hey, guys! I would like to discuss with you the plans for the next update. Since many players were asking for content, and most importantly for the story, I think the right decision would be to working on the main story.
I must say right away that the work on the main story is not the easiest task, since it affects other tasks, therefore, it may require much more time than usual.

Hey, guys! Thanks to everyone who sent the found bugs! Thanks to your help, I was able to fix several critical errors, as well as remove minor flaws. From the new one, texture streaming has been added to the game. With it's help the resolution of textures will now change dynamically depending on their visibility and render distance, which will reduce the load on the graphics card.

Hey, guys! These couple of weeks I've been busy adding new mechanics related to the act. Also, in parallel, work is underway to add new quests, dialogues, and Vlada is slowly being introduced into the game. Regarding the animations for the Act, I want to inform you that I'm currently working on bringing them to a new level in terms of quality and functionality. So the new animation will be ~5 times longer than the previous ones due to the new mechanics and functionality.
And I repeat, I...

Hi guys! I want to inform you that I decided to postpone adding new potions for now, and instead work on a Hostile AI. At the moment, I have managed to fix the player jumping on the AI, as well as add a full-fledged hearing and viewing angles to the AI. And by the way, from September I plan to start working on more global tasks, but I will write about this at the end of devlog.
And by the way, guys, I'm planning to unpublish my patreon page in mid-September, so it's better not to renew ...

Hi guys! At the moment I am adding new items, because I plan to expand the assortment of merchants, and this assortment will expand as relations improve.
Already added several types of both raw and cooked food, and also rebalanced all of the stats of all old food. I had to carefully study the calories content of each type of food for greater reliability :D

Hey, guys! The past two weeks have been quite heavy and busy for me, so I added less new content to Aurora than planned.
First of all, thanks to the work of testers, several serious bugs were found and fixed thanks to their help. I also finally transferred and configured all movement/rest animations for NPCs, and also made unique work animations for each NPC.

Hey. I've already started working on NPCs and various kinds of interactions with them. So I added new reactions in the dialogues, fixed the inability to continue some quests, optimized the AI and reworked trade economy.
Also, I have already outlined some new features in terms of expanding the behavior of AI, but this will be after I add new animations for work, rest and so on... And I plan to start doing this right from next week.
