Hi friends!
Despite the cold and snow, our work is in full swing! We've already prepared a significant amount of basic quests for 'The Library Strory' 0.97.5, though some of them are still in the process of writing and painting. So in the near future, our task to finish this work and move to adding these new events to the game.
The only quest (to be more exactly, a whole storyline) that we haven’t started preparing yet, is $10+ bonus content, for which voting continues (

Hello friends!
Another small patch. As usual, you need to replace the file in the game/ folder with the new file scripts.rpa. All links in the main release message (LS 0.97.3) now lead to the updated version.
Fixes:
- Bug KeyError: u'\u0434\u0435\u0442\u043a\u0430' while talking to Betsy about how to make up with a girl. Corrected.
- Fixed a bug in the events with the stocks,...

Hi friends!
Today we have the second post in the series "you can see it in 'The Library Story' if you vote for $10+ bonus content in LS 0.97.5". We remind you that you have the opportunity to choose an additional storyline on behalf of another character!
In this case - Tentacle-tree!
Therefore, 2022-01-27 16:53:12 +0000 UTC

Hello friends!
Here is a small patch, which, at the same time, fixes some unpleasant bugs, including the return of possibility to visit the Hunters Guild telescope at night, so we recommend updating your version of the game for sure.
The scripts.rpa file should replace the file in the folder game/. Links in the main release post now lead to the upgraded version.

Hello friends!
This extra time was usefully spent, therefore, we're happy to introduce 'The Library Story' v.0.97.3! This version includes a new storyline about Gaston in the stocks, plus a number of changes and fixes. Since this is so-called "minor" version, we decided to combine it with the public release of LS 0.97.2 (which was a bit delayed, yes). The next "big" version LS 0.97.5 will be published according to the usual schedule - first for patrons and only later for everyone.

Hello friends!
Today we want to start a series of small posts describing hypothetical bonus content for the next big version of 'The Library Story' v 0.97.5 (don't forget about the $10+ patrons' poll!).
We've already come up with some unusual sidequests within the basic game, and it's just...

Greetings, Patreon comrades!
We have to admit, we hardly spoiled you with the project news this year.
But at this point even basic courtesy rules require a report from us, at least at the year’s end.
Well, we have to say, we’re approaching this milestone not too pleased with the results.
As it happens, the whole bunch of life and work problems (alas, we haven’t yet become porn tycoons to the extent to make Iris Quest our main job, and we’ll hardly ever become o...

Hello friends!
Sorry for the prolonged silence, the end of November and the beginning of December were very busy for us.
So...
1. The exact release date of LS 0.97.3 for patrons is December 26, 2021. This version will include new night content, a chain of events related to the stocks, and a number of fixes, including graphical bugs from previous versions. Perhaps we will have time to add something else.
2. The launch of the LS Discord channel

Hello friends!
In short: we are currently preparing LS v 0.97.3 and the necessary fixes. In addition, we've almost finished preparing the material on the basis of which bonus 10$+ patrons content will be created in the big version : LS 0.97.5.
So $10+ voting will start very soon (by the end of the month). Most likely, this will be the next message on the Patreon.
In general, the work is in full swing, so stay in touch: the results of this work are supposed to be very soon.

Hello friends!
We breathed out a bit after the release LS 0.97.2 (and necessary fixes) and now we are back to work in full force. Now is the time to announce what we will do (and you, accordingly, will see) in the near future... But first we would like to say thank you, our patrons, for your interest in our projects, reaction to releases and, of course, support! 'The Library Story' simply wouldn't exist without you. So... thanks, yeah! ^__^
Well, now you can get down to specifics....

There was a bit too long pause before this announcement: the point is that we had to make sure that we can name the exact date of the release so that it won't be postponed later. Therefore, we've done a lot of work in August and prepared most of the content for the new version. So now we can finally tell you the following:

Hi friends!
Work on 'The Library Story' 0.97.2 is in full swing. In the next message we'll be able to name the exact (adjusted for Honolulu time, of course ^__^) release date.
In the meantime, we'd like to tell you a little about some of the innovations that you will see in the upcoming version.
First of all, it is night activity! Yes, Gaston will no longer follow a strict schedule, and go to bed by midnight. After all, all the fun happens at night! So now he will have much ...

As we said, we are now trying to thank those patrons who support us more than others. Therefore, this version already contains bonus content, to open which you need to enter a password.
For $10+ patrons: Look out for the footprints in the woods... after Belle completes the Bed Skills quest Level 2. This is a very big event and we can't wait to know your impressions. All other bonuses are...

We've already started work on LS 0.97.2, which we plan to release approximately by the end of August (this year, ofc ^__^). Later we will write more detailed about what awaits you in the upcoming version.

It seems we already had the post with the similar name... Hmm... And maybe not even one. Well, this suggests that we've already had a lot of releases, which is quite good. And we will do our best to have even more of them in the future.
Oh, yes, what we are about... The release of LS 0.97 is already on the doorstep. Remained... yes, yes! Those final touches. ^__^

A good time to take stock of March also on 'The Library Story'. Without undue modesty, we can say that we are pleased with the progress in the development of LS v 0.97. We've brought a lot of new content into the game, and we've even refined some of the content that already exists in the game (both in terms of graphics and text). Without going into details, we can say that this stuff is related to Belle... Furthermore, it'ssupposed be a kind of indicator of Gaston's curre...

The end of the month is the best occasion for a post about the work results for said month. But one illustrative scheme works better than a thousand words. So, we’ll post it instead.
What? No, this is not a whole Chapter Two. It’s just the result of a single planning meeting about one of the key events of the chapter. As you can see, it looks in such way that we can post it without being afraid to spoil anything. You won’t understand ‘what the hell is happening here’ anyway.

Yes, we continued the story with the mayor's daughter (for whom there are big plans!). This version is very important for the further plot, as well as for the development of Betsy's character. ^__^
