Hey everyone,
I hope the summer has been good to you so far, we have some pretty exciting news, a lot of stuff going on under the curtain.
First of all, regarding Divimera, it's been a while since we started working on R10 now. This is gonna be a massive update, with at least 3 scenes and even possibly 4 H-scenes:
- Arabelle H-scene
- Hale H-scene
- Charlotte H-scene
- And Lily we aren't sure 100% if it happens in this update or the next, but 50/50 chance right now that it ends up in this update.
This was required because basically, all the routes need to progress further around that time because after that you will see but there will be some kind of event that will disturb the flow of things quite a bit. So it's kind of a convergent moment in the story where we need to have almost all the females going to the next step in their respective routes before being able to move forward in the story.
On top of that the MC will be given the job to do in town in this update, something that he will have to keep doing in the future as well. So we will have an entirely new location within the town opening in this update.
Some new sprites are being introduced as well, with Lady Williams and Lord Williams at the church. And a new character running the place where you will work from now on.
There will be also a sort of minigame introduced in the new workplace.
We have also finally found a new background artist named
Hehudojnik and he is really excellent at what he does and was able to replicate the previous bg artist's style to a degree that is incredible. That makes me very happy because I was getting worried and you will be able to see what it looks like through the preview posted just after this news along with some of the amazing sprites made by
Kojack.
That said, there is one caveat with all that, and that is that this update gonna take a bit longer than previous updates, it has just too many things happening at the same time. Even just in terms of arts, that's not possible to deal with that many things in the regular update timeframe. With what I know I'm estimating that this update will release something around Late October/November. It might come out sooner though but I don't want to promise anything to not disappoint you. After that as long as there are not as many H-scenes, we should return to a more normal schedule.
I know it sucks but there is no realm where we can make that many things happen in such a short time.
On the other hand, I did a poll recently about having a B team working on smaller-scale projects, and the results were very positive. So in the meantime, we have also something else cooking, it would be a small project made by some different people, including a new and different bg artist, and another character artist that you may know already: Seb, a good friend, the one who did the art for Tyrant Quest.
It will be a very small and funny side project which only last one hour or two hours maximum. It will be almost like a crash test, to see how it could turn out and if people like it etc. This small project will be released before R10, so that will hopefully make the wait feel less substantial.
The story will be about the sub that imploded one week ago, but this time you will be stuck with a beautiful girl at the bottom of the ocean, and it might not be as dramatic as the original story, but we will have some bad endings for sure.
In any case, I'll be able to talk more about it in the coming weeks, the work on it has already started and I can't wait to see how it comes together.
That's it for now, so thanks to everyone who joined or stuck around on Patreon, as always I appreciate your support very much, and really couldn't do anything without your help.
See you soon for more news on Divimera R10 and also more details on the small summer project.
