Update: Typhoon Weather Advisory + Release Window Still On Track

Hey everyone, quick heads up.

A strong typhoon (Fung-wong) is forecast to hit parts of the Philippines this weekend, including my area. There’s a chance of power or internet interruptions right around the early-access release window.

Plan stays the same: I’m still targeting November 9 for early access.
If the storm knocks out power or internet, the release may slide by a day or two - but the build will already be done and ready to go. If an...

Update on the SDA + Ashe Release & Dev Build Progress

Hey everyone – quick update:
The internal dev build (fully playable, full audio) is now complete, and I’ll be sharing that with you soon (early next week), along with a gameplay preview video so you can see how the new banter is shaping up.

The early-access release is moving to early November (targeting Nov 7–9), with the full public release now planned for December 12 to allow a full month of early-access feedback and polish. The extra time will go into polish...

Ashe’s Dwemer Steed in the Works🐴

One of the most requested features since Ashe’s release has been her very own mount!

Curious what it looks like, how it ties into the next update, and what options will be available?

👇🏻Keep reading below for the full details, design previews, and my roadmap for when you’ll get to ride it in-game.

As with the last banter preview post, this is a little gesture of appreciation- so it’s open to all paying members, even at the tip-jar level!

Ashe + SDA Update Delayed - New Dates & Finished Script Inside

Hey everyone! Just a quick heads-up: the next Ashe and SDA updates are delayed from the original Sept 21 EA release date (yeah, I lined it up with that September song for the memes… sadly I won’t be able to make the joke this time 😅) and by extension the October public release.

New schedule

SDA 4.3 & Ashe 1.2 – Dev Update + Timeline: Biggest Banter Integration Yet!

Right now, I’m deep in the writing phase for both projects, focusing on wrapping up SDA and the Ashe banter first. This has been the most requested content for both mods (outside of Vigilant), and it’s also the headliner for SDA 4.3 and Ashe 1.2. I’m happy with the am...

Romance in Ashe & SDA: Immersive vs. Sandbox

(Not pictured, Serana/Ashe can romance female Dragonborns as well)

Quick heads-up

As I've started prepping for the banter between the two, I’ve wrestled with this system for months because I wanted three things to coexist (especially since you can romance characters in both of my mods):

• Authentic Serana – a survivor who wouldn’t casually tolerate sharing.

• Authentic Ashe – more flexible, but still exp...

Final Ashe and SDA Release Dates!

I'm in final QA on SDA 4.2 and Ashe 1.1. Target public release: 7 - 8 June (this weekend). Early-access builds remain mostly stable; I’m integrating last-minute bug fixes and docs.

Promo trailer and showcase write-up will follow about a week later (need time to polish footage). That gives us a cleaner launch and a proper highlight reel!

Hey everyone,

Quick update on the Ashe Prologue release: I'm going to need to shift the release date by a few days. 😔
