First and foremost, Color number 3 won for Zara! Thank you to everyone taking part in the poll!
Writing:

We're still chipping away at the latest release, a lot of work and such still to go. Mika's script has been a challenging write, but I'm growing more and more confident with how it's finally shaping up.

Coding:
Not much to report on this front, Quality of life (QOL) improvements are still incoming and being developed, including the auto battle fighter, auto travel, and a 'jump to city outskirts' button.
Have more to say/show on this soon!

Art and tweaking of prologue:
As well as some new locations, old locations and things are also being expanded, such as Fort Sebastian.
The new (re-mastering?) tweaking of the prologue to incorporate more game is going well, we plan to add some additional scenes with Kiara and a couple characters like Borras to hopefully flesh things out a bit more, (and improve the pace before Zanarak appears).

Release schedule:
Just to re-confirm the plan once again on the release schedule, as time and time again this is becoming a re=occuring question.
1.) The Mages of Palam script + Captain Nyx content. This will be very likely spread across two updates.
2.) A major main story update with a focus on Regina and Sypha, ending Act 1 as we finally release onto Early access on steam.
...

Enjoy a sensual bath and wash away all your worries with Mika...

not sure if you have said but how much will it be? and what version of the patreon tier would it be equivalent to for content drop dates.

I'm sure we went for 15 or 17 USD on steam, would need to double check that though!

The early access Build on steam I believe will be equivalent to whatever the latest build is.

There'll be some slight changes with how things are run when we get onto Steam, due to it's own TOS about pricing, I'll check with the side of team that handles PR and stuff and get back with a clearer picture.

You said "every wishlist helps"

How does it help though? Does it put it on a trending list or something?

Pretty much > More wishlist, more the game gets pushed up by Steam, same with having a couple steam reviews.

Hey guys, progress is well underway with a lot going on, check it out~

I'm going to keep this post a little shorter, as we have a lot going on right now and we're going full steam with production.

Art:
We've got a lot of art on the order queue right now, so don't have much in the way of character designs or any SFW stuff like new locations to show you guys (yet), but we will do soon!

Writing:
The script is spicy... But hefty, it *is* coming along well though.

Coding:
Now onto the main thing I wanted to talk about, we've talked before about our efforts to reduce some of the more grindy elements of the game, and to this end, I think it's safe to say we've achieved our goal for the next update.

-Auto travel feature (Working and implemented)
-Auto battle feature (Working and implemented)

And now, we've managed to add in the quick jump to city outskirts. Check it out below:

Of course, there's still a lot of work to be done with other aspects in terms of coding, such as improving and getting features like 'perks' and attributes to work properly, balancing etc...
However, we think the above progress should hopefully reduce a lot of the frustrations in the meanwhile while we strive to continue to improve the game and add new content.

That's all for now,
they'll be more substantial news soon so stay tuned!

Thank you all so much for your support,
you guys are awesome and help keep things going around here

Hello everyone

Only another short news update this time, as we're right in the middle of some pretty hectic work.
Remember, If you haven't already, Wishlist Parasite Black on steam! Every Wishlist helps! Link here:

(Captain Duprey Revamp - above)

Work is progressing nicely on the latest stuff, we're still gathering art assets and things for the content update and we're inching closer towards the big steam release! One major thing we're working on right now, is re-organising attributes/skills/perks and levelling in a way we think we hope will massively improve the balancing of the game, and hopefully, be a lot more engaging for players, especially with perks:- With lots of new and exciting perks such as 'dreamwalking' being discussed, allowing the player to enter the dreams (or fantasies) or various characters.

We'll have much more to show on this very soon!

I have been going back and forth on the travel map trying to collect bronze for Drax (Reginas Package/Doughter of Metal) but none of the Demorai parties I've encountered have dropped bronze scraps. Not that the bandits drop anything either idk if that is intentional. But the lack of bronze stops me from finishing these quests. Is there something I've missed?

I've also stopped hunting Demorai in between and followed other quest lines but nothing seems to drop from encounters. I do get slimemarks though lol.

Anyone seeing what I've done wrong/missing?

Go to Valley of Death, reach the end of the map. There you will have the option to go hunt as show on below screenshot. Only in these hunts you will get bronze.

you need to cross the travelmap, once you reach valley of death there is an option to "hunt dremorai" thats where you get your bronze scraps and gem pieces.

Some miner thing I've just observed is that in the charcter menu (select members for combat) with only MC (Caspian lol) selected it states that 3 of 4 members are selected and I can only select one more member. All 3 shows up in combat though idk if there is some hiccup somewhere or if its intentional. Maybe a bit too much if MC is counting for three

Nothing huge but maybe if devs can check it out?

Hi thanks that was quick! This is hilarious - this icon is too big to not be seen

Much appreciated for the quick respons!

Thanks. Of course I didn't cross the travel map, I just went back to the city. And if I did come across I did'nt see the huge icon with hunt demorai on. Jeez!
