Exciting news, folks! Ashe has just received a brand new FOMOD!
With this FOMOD, you'll have everything you need for future dev builds and the highly anticipated main release. Let me break it down for you: the main plugin comes pre-installed and ready to go. On top of that, you'll have the freedom to customize Ashe's armor option...
2023-06-14 14:50:14 +0000 UTC View PostLately, I've been testing various animation profiles (through Dynamic Animation Replacer support) for Ashe. This test involves the "Shrine of Vedir" greatsword moveset by Sswaye, which caught my eye the most.
Ashe still has her old voice here as we've just switched to the new British accent and Kerstyn is still recording her lines for that. Also yeah, the skeevers aren't there because of Ashe - that's just from an ability from my player character lol.
Some Nier 2B movesets on the ...

Hey folks 👋, the Ashe Dry Run is finally here! 😲
Sorry for the wait, but because of it you get to indulge in a whole ton of new Ashe content! 🥳 This dry run effectively covers the redos of Version 0.1 (seeing as we've changed Ashe's accent to a British one now), and the new content (0.2-0.4). 🤓
If you kept a keen eye on the development roadmap here: (2023-06-08 15:41:07 +0000 UTC

Hey folks! Here's a little taste of Ashe's new voice - well, two of them actually!
From our first showcase (and the playable 0.1 build on Patreon currently) Kerstyn and I decided to redo Ashe's accent.
With her last iteration, it was hard for Kerstyn to act or express emotion - during one of our past recording sessions she told me she was literally as stiff as a board.
That's why I decided to instruct Kerstyn to pour a little more emotion into her voice, still having that co...

Hey folks!
Normally this wouldn't be possible as I live across the Pacific Ocean from most of you, but for a majority of my audience (USA peeps) rejoice as a physical meetup might be possible soon!
I might be going to America on vacation later this year, and I'm actually stopping by Dallas to hang out with Kerstyn and Taylor!
You guys game to meet up too?...

GRAHHHHH!!!! FINALLY! Version 4.0 audio redos have been completed! A big portion of it, the custom greets and conversations have finally been recorded by Kerstyn and implemented by me.
Along with the rest of every single dialogue line, whether it be Daedric Quest commentary, banter, or Valerica stuff (over one thousand of them) added in 4.0, they've been completely redone from the ground up for the sake of audio consistency. Kerstyn and I care a lot about quality and on...

Hello everyone! I wanted to provide a quick update on my progress with Ashe and the SDA Interim Update.
Ashe's development is going well, and I've mostly finished writing her dialogue. This covers Version 0.2 through 0.4 on the roadmap. Once everything is implemented, Ashe will be more than halfway complete for release (0.5-0.6)!
After completing the tasks for 0.4, such as follower features, backstory dialogue, and additional radiant dialogue, there are a few remaining challenges ...
2023-05-25 13:35:43 +0000 UTC View PostDo you guys have tips for how to improve drinking buddies? I was looking through the survey (and though not many people), like two pointed out that Drinking Buddies starts to get repetitive after a while.
This will also help give me input for how to do do Ashe's Combat Training, as its a somewhat similar thing.
For Drinking Buddies, not many pointed out that feedback, but its reinforced what I felt about the limitations of the feature for a while.
In short, I'm asking all t...
Hey folks!
I've added your name requests to the sheet. I'll add custom conversations later, during my next pass.
These were all the names in the poll submitted as of yesterday, May 23rd. If you submitted anytime after that, it'll be reflected in my next name additions pass in about a weeks time or so.
There are also some duplicates in this batch, so if you requested any o...

In short, this is what it entails.

Hey folks! 👋
If you didn't already know, Version 4.0 is now out across SE, LE, and Xbox! 🙌
Before you ask 🤔, totally safe to upgrade from either pre-release or open beta on an existing save, BUT the save needed to have had 4.0 (in some form) beforehand.
Be sure to update if you haven't already, some bugfixes have been implemented, and a majority of the 4.0 audio has been re-recorded! 😲For more details, kindly read the changelog on Nexus or my we...
2023-05-11 12:30:26 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys!
I'm writing to say that the price has been increased from $1 to $3. The reason being, after Patrons fees and taxes, Kerstyn and I only get cents in return. With the increased price, we at least get to keep more as a proper tip.
If you'd still like to tip $1 dollar without fees (both one-time and monthly), you can check out my Ko-Fi!
If you are currently subscribed to the $1 tier, this does ...

It'll be released very soon, at the start of this coming week! 🔥
Since the pre-releases and open beta, some minor bugfixes and most of the audio redos are done (barring custom names for 4.0).
So regardless of the (slight) audio difference for those names and custom convos, I think we're gucci for a formal release.
I'll be posting a public announcement when it's out (across all platforms) so stay tuned for that!
Also, the next batch of custom name openings shou...
Hey folks!
Quick update on the audio redo so far. Kerstyn's done with all her audio, except for Custom Names + Conversations. She's going on a personal trip soon for a week or so days, so just don't expect the custom stuff to be finished anytime too soon.
Good news is that the rest of the audio is done and should be implemented by me in the coming days-week.

A lot of responses in the feedback survey listed the Romance part of SDA as a part that needs improvement.
I agree, and rewrites will be tackled in a future update (yeah I know I already rewrote the romance once, but hey, there's always something to improve!).
The rewrites will be particularly centered on pacing, and it won't be an overhaul of the romance (like the first batch of rewrites were). After all, the feedback usually stated that the quality...

I'll be uploading individual patches for the following mods in the coming week or so, leading up to 4.0's official release. They will have their own mod page as Xbox does not allow me to upload multiple mod files in one page, and these patches require their respective plugin files (they cannot be integrated into main SDA).
These patches are, but not limited to:
1. IFD Lydia

2023-05-02 12:36:26 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks,
Quick PSA. Now that 4.0 is in open beta, for the most part (other than a preview or sneak preview build here and there) all updates, including the voice remaster one will be posted on the official SDA Nexus and Bethesda.net (for Xbox) pages.
Kind reminder to make sure you track the mod and/or check the mod page every now and then for updates!

Kerstyn and I have completed some playable content with the audio redos.
These are mod patches and we have done a lot of work on the main mod, but it is still a work in progress.
You can safely keep them on your existing saves as they are fully functional. They are similar to the patches currently available on the Patch Hub, but with improved audio quality. These ...

You all are aware of my official recommendation to start new games for Version 4.0.
However, here's a proposed fix from a member in the community, in case you want to still try upgrading from 3.3 on an existing save anyway. Please note that this isn't officially supported and I do not recommend this.

So when I announce Version 4.0's release, please don't be confused that you missed like 6 whole SDA versions!
A kind reminder that a new save game is also recommended for this update!

I hope those who downloaded the pre-release are enjoying Version 3.4! However, you may have noticed that the new lines sound different compared to the old ones.
As mentioned in the pre-release announcement post, Kerstyn had to get new recording gear after an unfortunate accident, and as such, the lines she's recorded now sound different compared to before. For those who haven't played 3.4 yet, or haven't noticed, we have two videos to demonstrate the difference...
