Hello, everyone!
We're back with another update, this time it's version 0.3.17.
New Content
Now... for this build, we have a sex scene for the Dragon Noble that you get to meet in the Mask event. You will need to replay his content, however if you show sexual interest in him, he will take you up on your offer in the same event. We will add an illustration to this scene in a later build.
We also have a finished neutral sprite for the big wolf man on Day 9.
In addition, we made it a bit more lenient to get the sex scene with Brymror. We saw several people getting confused as to the conditions how to date him, and from our experience, his content is accessible, but it might be a bit too obscure.
You had to do Brym's first date in days 1 - 4, then do the second date with him on day 8, and then his third on day 9. You do need to pick specific options for him, but they should be self-explanatory: Brym wants a romantic partner. Now, you get further progress with him if you hug him on Day 7. Note: This does not apply retroactively! You will need to start a new save to get progression from the latter mentioned choice.
Future Plans
We are planning to finish up most (if not all) design work by the end of this year so that by next year, we can have several months, where most of the funding from a month can go to the artists to produce the required assets.
We expect that after the engine rewrite is finished, the time to implement content will actually go down. Currently, each writer always has to add both a prefix and postfix to each line they write. In code it looks like this:
write("[i]Garreth’s working at the bar, right? I’ll probably find him there. Hopefully he isn’t too busy to spend time with me.[/i]")
While the italics tags are self-explanatory, the quotation marks and parenthesis are there for coding reasons alone. And sometimes, the text editor programs of our writers just end up using the wrong quotation marks... which then have to be fixed.
The new syntax will only require prefixes without any quotation marks. The same bit of script looks like this in the new engine:
/p/[i]Garreth’s working at the bar, right? I’ll probably find him there. Hopefully he isn’t too busy to spend time with me.[/i]
We will keep you further updated on the Godot 4 build. While Baku has been hoping to add several more features on its launch (such as accessibility features), it will come down with more the baseline functionality and we will expand on its features over time.
Next Build
We have the writing mostly finished for build 0.3.18 and we should be able to release it by next month. Let us know what you think, and we hope to see you, soon!
