Hey folks, get ready for a sneak peek at Ashe's development! The May dev build for PC is here, packed with exciting new features.
Important Reminder: This build is for preview purposes only. Don't use it for regular saves, as things are still a work in progress and might break!
So, what's new?

Get Ready to Move! 🕺 Ashe Animation Sneak Peek!
Hey folks! Get ready for a sneak peek at Ashe's custom animations - they're coming along great!
Ashe marks a big step forward for me: It's my first project with fully custom animations, made exclusively for the mod! While SDA used clever workarounds with existing animations, Ashe is getting the full treatment with brand-new animations from the ground up.
This is just the beginning for me and animation! Expect to see this new skillset enhance Ashe, and possibly even make its way in...

Hey folks, sorry for the radio silence! As always, radio silence usually means exciting progress is being made!
First off, SDA housekeeping. Version 4.1.1 was just released recently, which contains a huge amount of bugfixes (some of which are for Patch Hub, so please download the latest version if you're on PC) in addition to the last batch of customs before Kerstyn's hiatus. S...
Your Choice for SDA's Grand Finale!
Hey folks,
Thank you so much for the outpouring of support and well wishes for Kerstyn, Taylor, and me! It means the world to know how much SDA has positively impacted your Skyrim experiences.
To clarify why SDA is ending, Kerstyn and I both agreed that the project has run its creative course and we look forward to exploring our own different projects – like Ashe and Aela for me! You can keep up with Kerstyn's future projects by following her on 2024-04-18 14:02:17 +0000 UTC View Post
SDA's Final Chapter: Thank You and Update Details
Hey Patrons!
Kerstyn and I have decided that it's time to conclude the Serana Dialogue Add-On (SDA) with one final, substantial update. When Kerstyn's hiatus ends at the start of next year, she'll record this update to provide a fitting farewell to the mod.
This journey with SDA has meant the world to us, and now it's time to ...

Trueblood Serana Merch - Yay or Nay?
Hey everyone! I'm exploring the idea of creating merch inspired by Trueblood Serana, and potentially Ashe plus other OCs/character designs down the line. Think cool art prints, maybe even some other fun stuff!
I'd commission artists for this, supporting small creators even as AI art becomes more prevalent.
Would you be interested in merch like this?

For context, I posted a "taking a break" post several days ago because my dad got hospitalized.
Thank you so much for all the thoughts and prayers! I'm sorry if I haven't been able to reply to everyone – I've been busy at the hospital.
Great news (and not an April Fools too): as of Sunday afternoon local time, my dad has been discharged! Not the best Resurrection/Easter Sunday, but glad my dad got released on that day at least. I'll keep monitoring his healt...
Taking a short break, family matters.
Hey everyone, got some unfortunate news. My dad has had a medical emergency (non-life threatening) and I'm going to step away from mod dev for the next couple days as I watch over him in the hospital. I'll still intend to respond to some DMs and email, I'll just be focusing on family much more.
This'll hopefully be only for a couple days. Ideally he should be discharged from the hospital on Sunday and I'll be able to get back to mod dev soon!
Thanks and keep you posted,

Sneak Peeks Poll
Hey guys! One of the perks of being a Patreon is getting sneak peeks to new stuff I'm working on. Please answer the poll below on what you generally prefer seeing as a Patron!
Some people might prefer more frequent updates, even if they're just text and/or short videos. Others might just like more playable dev builds when more stuff is feature ready (Please note that this does not apply to pre-release builds, which are more or less release-ready content and are not just "sneak peeks").&...
2024-03-18 11:04:01 +0000 UTC View PostAshe Follower Dev Build! (Version (0.41B)
Hey folks!
This has actually been done for a while - super sorry I haven't gotten to it! This latest dev build (ver 0.41B) has the full recast already included (Kerstyn's lines replaced with Anna Rust's, the new VA).
Overall, it's roughly similar to the dev build posted in December last year, besides bugfixes, improvements, and line rewrites.
I'd like to mention again that this is a W.I.P, to expect (many) bugs, and to not keep this on regular save games.

Important SDA Announcement for 2024!
Hi everyone, long wall of text incoming but this is pretty important, particularly regarding SDA's future and Kerstyn's hiatus. I skimmed on the details cuz we gotta make that YT video hype for viewer engagement!
Kerstyn's voice acting hiatus (as I first announced in the 4.1 preview video) is year long, including all work for SDA. The next major SDA update (the 4.2 Vigilant one) won't be released until next year, when Kerstyn starts work again. Kerstyn is doing alright...
Trueblood Serana V2 (FOMOD Now Out!)
-- EDIT: FOMOD is now available, and for all options too! Take this as an entirely different remaster of Trueblood, similar to how rxkx22 released different "Seranaholic" versions back in the day. This new version is fully standalone and does not require the old V1 to work. You can only use EITHER V1 or V2.
In terms of to-dos, more playtesting (that's what you guys are for!) and taking screenshots for the FOMOD. Can't wait to put this to the forefront and start workin...

This update includes custom content requested between late October and February 21st. I'll be handling the editing myself this time, so please bear with me as I work through your requests.

More Boujee Cinematics! 🧑â€ðŸ³ðŸ˜™ðŸ¤Œ
Hey everyone!
I'm currently experimenting with some fresh cinematic concepts while filming the Version 4.1 Content Preview. In the past, gameplay previews were simply me interacting with Serana in first-person, which could feel a bit mundane. I've used Alternate Conversation Camera occasionally for a slightly more dynamic view, but it mainly offered two static third-person angles and some jarring transitions.
Recently, I discovered the 2023-12-14 03:41:02 +0000 UTC View Post
