Hey Patrons! Got another poll for y'all. It's mainly to give your thoughts and feelings on SDA currently, which'll help me as I continue to develop this mod!

(There's a mini-survey for the Twitch viewers at the start, for those who watch me on Twitch too. This can be skipped if you don't.)
Thanks!
Hey Patrons! Kerstyn and I have recently had our recording session for the 2.7 Drinking Buddies update, and here's an exclusive BTS look at it :)
Again, thanks y'alls for the support! Drinking Buddies is well on the way- on track for a release by sometime in August I'd say. Take this with a grain of salt though- it might be a bit earlier, or a bit later :)
If you'd like to see me actually work on it, I stream some of the Creation Kit work on my 2021-07-14 09:05:55 +0000 UTC View Post

Hey Patrons! If ya didn't know already, I'm starting work on the next SDA update, Drinking Buddies :)
Hope you enjoy the video. Very poggers.
2021-07-09 16:43:10 +0000 UTC View PostHey Patrons! Just letting y'all know, that Kerstyn and I have just had our dry run for Version 2.7 (a recording of that will be uploaded for you guys (for Dawnguard Recruit tiers and higher) soon too!)
Additionally, I'm gonna announce the update either later tonight or tomorrow. Got something creative planned (kinda like how I announced the 2.6 release) so stay tuned for that! Dev update videos are gonna be more sparse, cuz I'd like to have fun with them and add some creati...

Heya Patrons! Tonight (7:30pm Philippine Time) I'm streaming the 3rd episode of our very own Skyrim Let's Play, with Miss Battle-Baguette Vampire! There will be blood , there will be succ , and there will be baguette.
If Twitch is your fancy, I hope to see ya there! https://www.twitch.tv/martimius
2021-07-02 11:32:03 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks! Looking for some feedback as I start writing up some stuff for the Drinking Buddies feature implementation.
I get that this whole update thingy was kind of vague to be frank, as I never really explained it in detail- thus I don't like a lot of you knew what to expect, other than immersive tavern conversations with Serana.
So here is the feature and how I plan it to happen in-game, in more detail:
This quest has the player drink with the NPC ...
2021-06-26 06:06:23 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks! I hope y'all are enjoying Version 2.6 just fine (which is out now by the way in case you didn't know!).
As a little sneak peek for you, I've compiled a rough dev roadmap (yet to be announced publicly) for all SDA versions, from 2.7 until 3.0.
Please note that this is still in a rough state, and is subject to change.
Version 2.7 (July-August) Drinking Buddies
Hey folks. Here's another perk of being a Patron and helping me and Kerstyn out- you get access to just about every single build I've put out for SDA- every version of the mod, both released and unreleased, since Feburary 2020!
Here's the link: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AnL8aTXycLICgecty8s952iLXUFrlw?e=u8IDFM
Thanks, and may the divines light your path!
2021-06-17 07:46:22 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys! Here's the latest 2.6 Dev Build, containing just about all the new content (barring the rewrites). Feel free to test this stuff out on your own and lemme know what you guys think!

There are just some quick questions here about my Twitch streaming and possible ways it could push forward. For now this survey is only limited to my Patrons, but could be expanded to include the general SDA fanbase in the future. https://forms.gle/nroEThZ5uY2fM1P2A

Hey folks! In the midst of Version 2.6 development, I've started to brainstorm possible content ideas for the Versions 2.8 and 2.9. Version 3.0, to be worked on and finished in the latter part of this year, is already set in stone in terms of it's content- it will be a release focused on Dragonborn DLC awareness.
Currently on the "Planned Content" list, I have these to draw from:
Eventually planned
I just wanted to write a quick post to thank y'all again for supporting Kerstyn and I's work on SDA. We really appreciate it :)
I've yet to announce this (but I will later today with my dev update video) but 2.6 is currently well underway with development. Kerstyn and I have just finished our dry-run for the update, and are now working on the actual update content in earnest.
In fact, you...

Heya Patrons!
Here's an exclusive sneak peek for y'all. It's a recording from our last recording session for the 2.6 update! If you were curious about what happens behind the scenes with Kerstyn and I, here's what happens!

Hey y'all! Here's the full recording from the latest improv session Kerstyn and I have had! It's a new thing, but I think it's something we'll do more often from here on out, as these improv sessions do help with writer's block and can help with creative inspiration!
In short, what we did here was just play pretend, using some topic starters based on content for the next 2.6 update!

Hey y'all! For the rewrites, I'm finally redoing one of the dialogues that stuck out like a store thumb- Serana's favorite book being "The Real Barenziah" lol

Hey guys! Here's the latest VOD of the recent Q&A session that was hosted on my Discord server. Additionally, I do give a mini dev-update on the status of 2.6, so please watch the first five minutes for that at least!

2021-05-22 05:14:04 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks! If you didn't know already, Kerstyn and I are going to have a Q&A session for everything SDA and in-between, this Friday at 8pm on the Discord server. It'll be held in the Stage Channel under "Voice Channels".
Please prepare some questions either before or during the event! :)
Thanks, and I hope to see y'all there!
Here are the exclusive BTS scripts for upcoming SDA Content! :)

2021-05-16 15:06:18 +0000 UTC View PostHey again folks! Besides a lot of the stuff you guys suggested earlier, I am writing new dialogue lines for the "What's On Your Mind" convo (in addition to the rewrites).If you'd like to suggest an actual conversation to be written for Serana and have her say something, now's your chance!
The "What's On Your Mind" responses, if you didn't know already, are radiant response lines triggered at random. They're basically there to simulate what Serana is thinking at any give...
2021-05-12 14:22:06 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey everyone. Here's a little sneak preview for the rewrites coming up. A lot of romance lines via the "What's on Your Mind" dialogue option should be less horny and player-pandering, but still showing Serana's interest in the player and have a bit of humor.
A lot of these were fun to write! And I hope you like the dialogues too when I add them to the game!
2021-05-12 07:32:59 +0000 UTC View PostIf you haven't heard already,
The Radiant Update Redux is here! This update features a lot of new dialogue lines added to Serana's radiant repertoire, so she should be even more responsive as an NPC to her environment, player actions, and player character choices. Overall, a lot of new content in this update, with over 250+ new dialogue lines! That, and a lot of bug fixes/improvements as well (check the full changelog for that).
It's currently out on LE an...

Hey folks!
Here's all the pre-release builds for Version 2.5, in their first iterations (Main 2.5, Lustmord Patch, Crimson Blood Patch).
Please also do note that these are still very much works in progress, and things can change from this iteration until release.
100% of the content for 2.5 is there, but there still may be some bugs that need squashing (if you notice something wonky, please tell me!)
Future versions of the pre-release will be uploaded ...

Here's a little sneak preview for one of the new radiant lines (kiss commentary, gated behind the Serana Romance feature)
Heya Patrons!
Here's an exclusive sneak peek for y'all. It's a recording from our last recording session! If you were curious about what happens behind the scenes with Kerstyn and I, here's what happens!
Also, here's a pretty big, but relevant disclaimer. Kerstyn and I go over the Wonderwall song implementation here, which has since been canceled.
2021-04-15 03:21:42 +0000 UTC View PostI've been talking with Kerstyn and we've decided against the Wonderwall song implementation.
I was giving it a lot of thought; putting anything that's from our IRL world into Skyrim, that's not an easter egg or a subtle thing (the tunes Kerstyn hums or the Star Wars references) might end up doing more harm than good. It's not a subtle easter egg when it's part of Serana's full song repertoire, and when she even talks about her writing it. Something like Wonderwall may fit ...
Here's a teeny tiny little sneak peek! Originally planned to tease this a bit later, but some folks on Discord were asking me about releasing Old Stone Walls on Spotify... so here it is.
Kerstyn and I are going to record a cover for the hit song Wonderwall and include it in the mod!
To do this I had to obtain licensing (I've had enough copyright tumbles with SDA already lol) and as part of that we get free song distribution.
Tha...

Hey again! Here's a little treat for you guys. Here's the complete "Old Stone Walls" as sung by Kerstyn. This time it's the complete audio file, so you can even listen to Serana sing outside of Skyrim!
This acapella tune will surely tug your heartstrings as it unveils Serana's deepest emotions and longings in her heart.
2021-04-06 15:37:45 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! As a little sneak peek to the Romance Reborn update, here's a pre-release build on Patreon early for you guys! This build should virtually be similar to the one I'll release publicly on Nexus Mods in the coming days.
