Project Plan August

After the last couple of months have been mostly setting up, we enter now the phase of closing out Chapter 2-B. I was hoping I could do it over August + September and keep the total delay in Chapter 2-B to 1 month, but I was just a bit too slow with a couple of things here and there, leaving some side content left-over. So current goal: Finish Chapter 2-B by the October update. To get there, here's the plan for August!

Very tiny maintenance update. Was thinking of skipping it but one of the bugs has a theoretical potential to corrup saves, so tiny bugfix update here we go.

Prerelease will be delayed by a bit (like half an hour to an hour) because the development infrastructure was down for most the day.

Is it worth it: Slavery Investment

In another entry to the poll series of "Is it worth it", I'd like to know how many of you find the offer from the slavery guy in Nephlune worth it.

Effectively it represents a passive income of 100 Gold / Day at a cost of 0.1 Corruption / Day. But it does take 10 days until you can get your reward, locking you out of your initial investment for that timeframe.

John Character Art Update

Only Desmond + Slime missing and then the art unification miniproject is done. (Mostly, technically, we also need to do a bunch of side character faces for guest npcs in battles but we will do those later sometime.)

Bless Skill Menu (Mockup)

Here is also the mockup for the new custom Bless Menu that I mentioned in the devlog. Mostly similar to how "shopping" works, but instead of paying with Gold you pay with MP.

Usual bunch of bug fixes to accompany the public release. Only other minor detail is that the Fulfillment passives no longer boost luck since they made it just a bit too easy to max out on getting perfect dodges with Tactical Advantage.

Project Plan July

We charge forward in the battle for progress. The main goal this month is to clear out as much as possible remaining setup work for the final parts of Chapter 2. Of course won't be just main content, I will also be working on side content for 1 week, this returning to the Magic Academy with the focus on the Slime Summoner Club. Let's take a dive into the weekly breakdown to see what this means for the project!

Marrying Hermann, worth it yes or no?

Since the Hermann marriage event has now been in the game for nearly a year, I would like to hear whether marrying him is worth it to you or not. 

When I say "worth it" please ignore whether it's worth it to get to watch the lewd scenes! I really mean the tradeoff between getting the True Love's Blessing debuff and the benefits being married to Hermann provides.

Pretty standard set of bugfixes. 

In the balancing department, there's just one minor change. Emerald Tea became a bit more expensive to put just a bit more pressure on the late game willpower management.

6500€ Goal Reached!

Been a couple of months since I could write this, but we have breached another goal. :) This one was super boring and deals with getting someone onboard I can outsource some of the marketing/community management work to. 

Though rather boring, having to advertise the game after a release, while dealing with bugs, planning for the next release, preparing briefs for out freelancers, etc. has grown to be pretty painful and thus I have also neglected a lot of work there. I still need t...

July H-CG Poll

Since nearly all new H-scenes from this month reuse the George and Aura H-CGs, the pool of open H-CGs remains quite small. I have discussed the Roland event scene sufficiently with Emubi to know how many remaining CGs we need for the Roland scenes (we tried to fit Roland 5 into the Roland 3 + 4 H-CG set but it was too complicated), so I can this time concretely add them to the poll.

Note that the second option means using up both H-CG slots. I didn't like the thing we did in the past of...
