This is now the second to last devlog for update 0.5.0. Thank you all very much for everything. If all goes well (and for the moment, everything is going well xd) the update will be released on the agreed date. Of course, if anything changes, I will let you know immediately.
Vortex Club Progress
Finished all sprites for the Patreon member NPCs who participated in the Vortex Club event
Added more scenarios
Continued expanding the Vortex Club route
This content continues to grow and is becoming one of the biggest pieces of secondary content in the update.
Gaelin Route Added to Vortex Club
Added Gaelin the Vampire Hunter route into the Vortex Club line
This helps connect previously requested content with one of the most important remaining side content sections of the update.
Bad Ends Progress
A huge amount of work this week went into bad end images
Bad ends for:
The main story
The Vortex Club route
(A small Maid Bad End scene for that Patreon Member that has been asking for Maid Content 💝)
Fast Travel Expansion in Thamora
All major cities in Thamora now have fast travel through carriages. You can now travel more easily from city to city
For some reason, I felt like giving these carriage drivers their own personality, so several of them are unique NPCs who speak different languages. It’s a small detail, but I think it adds a lot of atmosphere to the world and makes travel feel a bit more alive and culturally varied 😄
Items & Rewards
Added multiple new items
Includes both:
Quest items
Reward items
Handmade Pixel Portrait Progress
Continued working heavily on the handmade pixel portraits. I plan that every major party member have hand-made portraits. Even when they are not in the party anymore.
They will be visible and active in 0.5.0
Regular Handmade Art Progress
Continued working on the regular handmade art
As mentioned in the previous devlog, I still do not think we will see most of it in 0.5.0
The reason is simply the amount of time it takes, especially because even the scene backgrounds are being drawn by hand.
Scenario Polish
Parallax
Fog
Clouds
Sorry for the delay on this devlog. I hope you all have an excellent Monday and a great week, love u all! 😼💜
