Happy new year folks!
First thing first, we apologize for not following up with early mini-build in December as we planned, things got rough for several team members and we've fallen behind schedule. We are planning to release it in the following week or two this month. Build will have an Iski mini-scene and important update to the main story arc.
Don't forget to check on your room occasionally after you met iski. Y'know, anything can happen!
Obviously we have been working on Osh'To arc update. As well, there we do plan on having an actual scene with proper 3 CGs like we did with other companions 2nd scene. Gonna get warm and all lovely dovely in there.
Her arc did require some new assets and locations, but we likely will reuse them later for something else, good effort is not excessive on the extra location goodies. We will as well have new sprites / animations, and mysterious definitely not cowboy NPCs.
There likely will be placeholders, as we can't do all ogre sprites involved at once. But as always we plan to finish those up eventually.
Additionally we still work on many misc stuff to polish up our game in places where it is lacking. And just like marketplace / gate district one of our locations needed a small face life without major redraws to avoid wasting time. Let me give you a tease of new knight on a pike, which now actually somewhat resembles an old rundown mansion, with questionable DIY modifications of new owner.
We improved our combat cards visuals to clearly show their danger tier (A, B, C, S):
We made a few new animated sprites and dialogue portraits for the upcoming update (not going to show them all for spoiler reasons).
And finally here are a few samples of the new locations we prepared for this update.
This is all for now, expect the new build to be released within a week or two!
