Hello All,

I'm never really sure what to put in these update posts sometimes, other than to say I am working on the next installment of HEROES OF CELTICA: DARK DRUID, which will be v0.10.1

Wait, I've also been working on STELLAR INCOGNITA these past few weeks as well! For those that don't know, there's still more story branches to add to my original game, STELLAR INCOGNITA and I have been slowly working my way through a list of all the images I need to render before I write the final scenarios, which are all in "ROUTE A". In the end, there should be at least 1000 new images added to the absolute final version of the game. No timeframes on when it will be done, however.

As for DARK DRUID, we have come up to some major story events, so v0.10.1 will be focusing on the Aideen route and the Caz/Clio route. The Saivah route will get a lot of treatment in v0.11.1 as a big confrontation comes to a head. For Patrons, the bonus route continues, with the Scythian deciding whether he wants to make his Sidhe a lair of magick users or a lair of warriors - the coming update will begin the warrior path with Scortha (or Scáthach, as it is spelled in modern times).

Hello All,

Here is an update to let you know that work on HEROES OF CELTICA v0.10.1 is continuing, but I am behind schedule. I've been sick for the past week and I've lost a big chunk of development time, especially this weekend just past. At this stage, I am still making the images for the main story lines, a sample of which is above.

I'm trying to recover and get back into a steady rhythm of output, but it's going to take some time. I will be in a better position to tell you how things are going after the coming weekend, when I plan to get a solid few sessions of work completed. I will keep you all updated.

To make up for this, I have plans to do a mini-update in December/January that is in addition to the regular updates. This should enable me to eventually nullify the delay in the medium term with some extra content and story progression.

Hello All,

The weekend is over, so I will give you an update on my progress. I'm still a little unwell as my sickness trails off and it seems like whatever I caught has a long tail in the recovery. But that aside, I have made solid progress over the weekend on the next update. I am about two-thirds of the way through the image content required.

To explain what I am doing at the moment, it's basically a big set piece that includes paths for Caz-Cora, Clio and Aideen. The story has all three heroines at the border with the Kingdom of Cymru. I have to say, the action in the next update is about the same as the Battle of Moy Tura in the introduction. If you don't mind spoilers and want a general idea of what is going to happen next, refer to the Second Branch of the Welsh Mabinogion - "Branwen, Daughter of Lyr".

Since I am behind my usual cadence for a game update, what I am planning is this - when the next update is released, it will have the patron-exclusive content, as usual. Then, I will get straight onto the next patron-exclusive update and release a smaller update as soon as that is done. So essentially, the patron-exclusive path will get a double-update before I steady the ship and resume the normal update and content schedule after that.

Thanks!

Hello All,

Here's another update for this month. As the next release of HEREOES OF CELTICA: DARK DRUID v0.10.1 is taking longer than usual, it is only fair I keep you all informed. I hadn't realized how tight a 6 week turnaround on each update was. I used some time at the beginning of the 6 week window to work on STELLAR INCOGNITA and then with my illness, the six weeks was practically gone.

I am sure you're all impatiently v0.10.1 and I can say that all the images for Clio, Caz-Cora and Aideen's route is done. Over the next few days I will complete the images for the Patron-only content (Scortha / Scathach) and then it will be on to the writing into the weekend. In terms of update length, this one will be at least as big as the last update, if not bigger. There is a heavy emphasis on action (but still a nice amount of the good stuff as well).

What about the next free public release? When v0.10.1 gets closer to completion, I will release it, but that means it is also going to be delayed for a while longer.

Hello All,

I will make this very quick - the next update of HEROES OF CELTICA v0.10.1 is complete. I am just starting on the testing and quality control phase, which may take one more day. This is spelling errors, making sure the sound and music trigger correctly and that the choice pathing for players works and does not break.

I appreciate your patience - I know what it's like to sweat on an update for a game you are really invested in and I'm grateful you chose my one!

This update was a rough one but it's going to be smoother sailing as we move into the holiday season (knock on wood). The next updates you see from me will be for Omega Slam members and the public release of v0.9.0.

Thank you for your support!

Hello All,

After a sizeable delay, thanks for waiting!
Here it is, the next installment of HEROES OF CELTICA: DARK DRUID Version 0.9.0 ~!!!

Now there are a lot of balls being juggled, so if you want to get the full content out of this version, here are some tips:
  • The story line with 'Bran the Blessed' continues, whether you chose to go with Clio or Caz-Cora.
  • The story line with Aideen has been fleshed out. Do you remember last update there was a choice to travel in a different direction with her that was under construction? That path has been constructed! Also, there are two variants of this new path that have implications that go back to the prologue chapters!
  • Saivah's story continues with a 'cosy' chapter (you'll see what I mean). Also, this chapter has variants depending on Saivah's corruption levels (so you may want to use a save game to increase or decrease her corruption from the time you meet her).
Thanks for reading and more importantly, have fun playing!

EDIT: Links removed. They've been added to the OP.

Hmmm, I just realized there was a variant of Saiv path where Bera discovers MC corrupting her and he turns her into a cat. But I don't see any unique triggers that is formed for this route. It seems like Bera's status cannot be tracked? Is she just gone from the story regardless of what happens during that dinner scene?

Great game, but is there a guide that tells you how to get each scene in the game with the requirements that are needed, Also can the dev put scenes in separate tab base on the Mc's class that is needed to see the scene so it can be easier to figure out which class is still has their scene locked.

Also I'm missing these two scenes, how do you unlock them:
