So, new update! I am planning a release for the end of the next month. I may suffer a delay, but in theory, everything should be ready around the 26 June.
Fluff update
As mentionned before, the "Fluff Update" will be slim I'm afraid. It is more of a proof of work, where new elements and beginning of quest chains will be shown.
It should include a few scenes and posters, Tirisfal's Glades and the Monastery will be visitable, tho no quests will be available there yet. The new Eastern Plaguelands map as well.
New background for Whitemane and (hopefully) Abbendis' room
We will deepen our bounds with Auronia and Vivian... And take a peek at the beginning of Whitemane very own cult!
Story time : Why so slow?
The reason is quite simple really. I work with several artists and it always irks me when two drawing styles that don't match share the screen. I feel like it undermines the experience. I tried to do my best to work around it in the past, but this time I took another approach.
Each artists has been assigned their own update. This really help with the cohesion of the story, but that means we're progressing on several fronts at once, instead of everyone working on the same narrative line, which slows down things.
This way of working has its perks and drawback, but the main drawback is definitely that when an artist quits, it wreck the planning. This is what caused Vivian to only have one scene instead of four planned.
Future updates
Monastery update : It is a large update but a lot has been done. We're far from finished, I'd say maybe a quarter has been done, at best. But I'm already happy with how it is turning
Amani update : The slowest, since Howard manages it. You know him. You love him. Slow and steady gives peak assets! I'd say it is maybe half done?
Whitemane cult : Probably the closest to its conclusion, since it's a small scale update. I don't think I will make a release just for it, it progresses at its path alongside the other stories.
Can we see some images now?
