Well, I never stated that i will do updates, and there are great people like GyaruSaki who do, and already did better job than my copy/paste. While I don't mind to post updates. I will also make it clear that, my day job is very demanding, last week I got covid together with stomach flu, normally I would have taken sick leave, but regarding to my position and expertise, my absence would make huge drawbacks for company, and since I have really good relationship with top brass, where I'm basically good friend with them, refusing my work at that time period would make me a douchebag. That said every moment these days, every 10 meters I walked felt like running up 10 storie building, every secured corner or secluded place, seemed like 5star hotels bed, and every drink or meal sent me 5 times to WC in row, So, after coming home, I didn't even had strength to read something, neither do copy/paste. What i want to say is for people not to rely on me, I will share and help when I can, but don't expect that that will be regularly. Think of me more like "Stranger" perk from Fallout2. And there is raw copy/paste from HeadPat if anyone still are interested in it.
[ We need to talk about elves!
A while ago I hinted at an elven-only party that might show up as your rival for quests.
The response was overwhemingly that the elves should be mixed types. I liked the idea of a darkelf party but this also works for me!
To form a strong party we need a tank, a healer and a damage dealer.
I quite like the girls so far but they're still concepts. Please let us know what you think of them.
It's a darkelf tank using a glaive and heavy armor for maximum protection!
Naturally, darkelves have extremely large breasts even for elven standards.
When I think of an elven tank I am thinking of someone who enjoys getting hit.
Because of her high defense she likes to fight large groups of monsters at once.
The healer of the party should be a high elf.
She stands safely at the back to cast her spells but her armor doesn't cover her very well, especially her behind. She has to rely on protection spells only.
Some enemies might be smart and try to ambush the healer from the rear.
Out of everyone, I think she is the lowest level.
That makes the woodelf the damage dealer. She's very agile in melee combat and doesn't like to resort to ranged weapons.
Out of the girls, she is the most serious and slightly bloodthirsty. I think of her as the party leader and someone who wants to take quests seriously.
Other combinations would have included the woodelf as a "druid" type healer, and the highelf as a "paladin"-type shield fighter. But I think this setup is my favourite.
You can probably tell the looks of the girls are heavily referencing something else.
Part of me is thinking: "Is this too much?" but I would like to see what you have to say.
Another thing!
Currently, we are using portraits for dialogue.
While they can show Sana's cute expressions well I think it hurts other characters who don't get as much art as the main character.
For example, I really like Astrid's outfit but the game shows very little of it.
There is one single scene, her introduction, where you see it properly.
To avoid this I think we need to change to full character art during dialogue, like this.
A dog-girl ninja!?
Don't you think having dialogue like this is better in every way? We should have done this sooner.
There are a lot of side-character girls coming up and we need to show them properly and not just with small portraits.
Status update stuff!
I'm currently doing a bit of 'cleaning up' work, such as:
Re-doing the swimsuit scene
Finally adding missing content, like what happens when Anon doesn't wake up during the Kuma campfire scene.
And preparing super secret puzzles involving the unreachable chests and useless quest items. Don't tell anybody, the players have to find that on their own!
The next post might already be the update if nothing else comes up first. It looks like my artist is doing well!
Edit: I forgot to mention! I've been given an updated version of the guide and uploaded it to the itch.io page. ]
