Progress update!
Sorry for being quiet here on F95 for the past couple of weeks. I've had some family matters to attend to and I dived straight into the quest coding haze once I got back.
Good news, though; Aria's master quest (phase one and phase two) is coming out later today for Acolyte+. These quests involve reinforcing the rebel faction by donating weapons, slaves and money, heading out on lengthy stealth/manipulate/influence-based missions and uncover new secrets of Ikaanos - some of which are not related directly to Aria's quests.
It's also VERY likely I'll begin closing 0833 and release it to the public in a week/couple of weeks. Aria's phase three (attack on The Palace, boarding The Mastersphere and the effects of forming The Third Republic) is going to take some time and I think we need to get out the latest rounds of bug fixes and tweaks to all players. The 0833 release is going to be like a quick "airdrop" of supplies and phase three should be out for Tier4+ in roughly one week after 0833 goes public.
The 0.8.3.3 release is MASSIVE, however, and contains a lot more than just Aria's quest line. We have combat revamps, jail cell revamps, a large batch of renders, dozens of tweaks, new political events, new random slaves and the Follower group system, which allows you to switch between Follower groups with just one click.
0833 also has full support (on/off button in Options) for Sandman's Pics mod, which replaces all character's wardrobe and sex scenes with a new art style. We're talking about many hundreds of new optional scenes.
