While we wrap up the code and assets for Jessie's story line, Little Librarian has been writing the finale of Grace's story. A key element of how it plays out is whether or not Grace will continue transforming even more into the form of a classical Uilepheist. Watsup kindly drew some concept art of what that might look like, and we wanted to share it with you!
On one hand, if Grace keeps changing, that means more transformation content and a nifty new serpentine form! But on the other h...

While we wrap up the code and assets for Jessie's story line, Little Librarian is writing the finale of Grace's story, and we're looking for your feedback on how it should play out!
What do you think Grace's final form should be? Check out the images below and help us decide!
At the end of Grace's Chapter 3, Grace ended up looking like this (Warning: minor spoilers if you haven't played yet):

Bramble
Here we arrive at the edge of the forest, of the expansive fields, at the precipice of seeming normality. Perhaps your mother or grandmother, after baking off a fresh cake, or sipping her berry-hued cordial, warned you to stay clear of the bramble and its delicious berries. Perhaps you only thought her to be warning of the bushes' thick thorns, or the tendency to drop blood-red juice on your knickers as you steal a handful as a treat.

One of three new backgrounds this chapter, this one was fun to draw because unlike the fictional setting of Ach-na-Creige, this place really existed! I got to exercise my history nerd muscles and did research to make sure Strathcarron's train station would look the way it did a hundred years ago. I'll be sure to share what I learned in glossary entries in-game!

Uruisg
The goat-hooved brùnaidh, the forest adventurer, the spritely uruisg. Much like their brethren faerie, the púca, the uruisg display an impish spirit, full of mischief-making, with a dash of cordiality. Elfish in visage and form, they work hard at being both troublesome and courteous in their actions.
These are roguish pixie spirits who fight their way through entangling vines and overgrowth only to climb trees and watc...

Jessie seems to have sniffed out something she's interested in! What a lucky guy.
While most of my work has been focused on getting the second half of the chapter ready to be put into Beta release, I've been setting time aside during evenings to finalize some assets. This one was fun-- I'm looking forward to animating the fireflies!

Kelpie
The water horse nay be a mischievous water spirit like the unpredictable Fuath. These shape-shifting beasts are creatures black as ink with souls as dark to match. The Kelpie rises from the watery depths of the lochs and rivers, just waiting to take hold of their next victim to feast upon. Like the home it inhabits, the Kelpie's eyes are dark pools that draw in the unsuspecting. Do not approach the evil Kelpie when seen in its equine form. One ...

For Jessie's final chapter, we're experimenting with a new approach to creating a sex scene. Rather than write the scene and illustrate it according to the script like we normally do, we decided to let Wat create the most sumptuous images he could come up with and write the scene accordingly.
Wat came up with 35 sketches. Thirty-five of them. I think he likes Jessie!
As an approach, I think it's made the scene much more fluid, allowing more to be shown and less written. I...

Hi all! Before we release the new Beta Build to our Beta Tester Tier, I wanted to share three minor things we've changed in the game's continuity. This way they (hopefully) won't cause too much confusion when playing through the newest chapter!
1. Wondrous Walter's Design:
At the end of Chapter 3, you may recall that the legendary Wondrous Walter showed up to watch Jessie's performance. Our original design had him looking a bit more villainous than in...

The Scottish Wolf
Found lurking in the dark shadows of night, the untamed wolf will cast its steely eyes your way, and you’ll ne’er see the light of day again. Despite the visage of a humble sheepdog, their innards are stone cold. Woe to those who leave a gate unlatched, as a hungry wolf will enter to steal anything it can find, whether your tempting flock, or your wee one. Beware the sharp-fanged and foul creature. He is oft wont for pity. Don’...
