Ren'Py Refuge of Embers [v0.20a] [Escape Sauce]

[TRICKSTΞR]

Just under 4 more weeks. Version 0.21 is a lot of boring but important housekeeping stuff like a new UI and menu system to fix controller support on handhelds like the steamdeck. It won't feel like a huge update story-wise so have very tempered expectations on this one. The new story scenes are all on Eryn's path but build up atmosphere and tension on existing events. Her new virginity scene will be in version 0.22 which will be out faster than this one.

Guess we’re about a week away then for v0.21?

If I read it right, this current state is just the barebones spine tenuously connecting the three acts of the story, and the real work is fleshing out each act to be a fair bit longer than they are now.

Yep pretty much, although the prologue is basically done at this point. Anything we add there will just be improvements to the romance routes or sex scenes. Act 2 is pretty much nonexistant.

We're coming up to the end of it. The artist has 2 scenes left to make along with some eye and mouth movement options. She also needs to make at least some placeholders for a few more pieces of the new GUI, although I'm ready to just swap back in the old GUI for this release if it looks like it'll add too much more time.
