Well I think it's too early to guess endings. And there have been already a picture for Cordia path so maybe we will have her story soon

Just got to the Luna BG, and haven't felt this emotional since Radiant about a VN. Well written story portion without sensationalism. I was worried about what to expect going into it having decided to go for the full version. Worth it. Also the art for Isabel after her BJ scene end is now my screensaver. Always loved winged females.
Development Update #29
Hello DeLucas, Time to share where we are with everything; - GUI is almost done! The first draft that is. May change after release. but alas, this is after-all a game in development. But who knows, maybe people will like my attempt of making the GUI for the game. Just joking, already in the progress of ordering custom made GUI. - There has been some misunderstanding from the last dev. post when I said I scratched of some heavy rpg elements to the new gameplay section. Some thought that I removed rpg elements itself but there will still be a lot of rpg stuff. To be more clear - I removed turn based combat (the classic turn based combat). This was done for two reasons; 1. Time. It would take too much time to work with such a complex system. 2. Fun. It would not only take a huge amount of time to make but it would also be hard to make it fun. The classic turn based combat has been done so much that to be used here it would require some innovative stuff. (I'm a bit biased as I still love classic turn based games, heh)

Now, take a look at the screenshot. This will give the idea of what was kept. Top right you will see a map. You can move around here with the help of the white buttons center-down of the screenshot. (The white spots are compass with North-west-east-south) It is disabled during dialogues and options as it is the case with the screenshot image. The icons at the left of the options indicate what stats the options favor. It can fail or success. (Icons are placeholders) Some sharp minds out there probably have noticed the title of the mission/contract - Nimble Fingers. That is indeed the first contract we currently have in the game. The one that required you to steal something from an enemy town. Now, instead of a simple success or failure scene - you will be the one that determine if it will be success or failure. There are several ways to complete a contract. Even though this kind of contract require stealth does not mean that it is the only way. A snippet from the current details of the nimble finger contract (the one that is in the current game) "Any high targets areas/persons should be avoided. If you manage to succeed in those encounters, you'll still only get paid what is stated on this mission's contract. - Wilfred"

Before this was a simple detail that didn't mean much. But now you may, or may not, actually encounter such a character. Will you run? Or will you fight? Do you have enough stats to take on the fight? There will be secret places you can access if your perception stat is high enough. A lot of special renders (patreon renders, request renders, poll renders, etc.) will now be things that can be found during contract as bonus finds and will be added to the gallery of single pictures.
And lastly, you may ask who the new female is on the preview render. She is an example of what can happen during contracts. She will not have a big role as any of the girls you find during the normal VN part of the game but is more an fun addition to the contracts.
Looking forward for you all to play through it and hopefully you will enjoy it as much as I am excited to share it!

Pity on the turn-based combat as I also love it, but understandable, now I'm even more eager to see what will come with the next update.

I can't believe I'm going ask this question but here is goes....
When is the next update expected?
I've never played this but after seeing a screen shot of it in Luna's Chosen I think it was of this, I'm keen to give it a go.
Also from the last few entries it seems there are some major changes, so I'd rather wait for that. But if it's weeks away I'll try the current, if it's in the next few days, I'll wait.

Since changes are announced to be pretty major, including save game incompability and change of some game mechanics, I would suggest you wait even if it may still be a couple of weeks (sorry Hopes), since from what was "leaked" the game may differ enough that trying it in this version may give you the wrong impression on whether you like it, probably working in both directions. Sure, the major part, characters, and story will stay the same, so you can give it a try at first glance, but then either you like it and will be disappointed when it becomes incredibly grindy, or you will find the gameplay empty, drop this game, and never find out that everything you disliked has been solved.
Maybe even wait one update more (which shouldn't take as long) in which the more annoying bugs, which will inevitably happen, will have been resolved. This may be of course true for all games or not at all depending on how much you're bothered by it, but in my experience it detracts from the game a lot if you're not already familiar with the basic premises.
Also expect major arguments ensuing in this forum after the update has dropped - that will always happen with major changes - and do not let that deter you from finding out yourself whether you like it. (Pretty sure you will)
I actually think right now is one of the best times to play the game as the current patch kinda feels like it has an ending which is perfect in my opinion, Obviously it still has a ways to go but it felt like it could of been an ending to the first game and now we are ready for part 2.
Will this be a harem or a single route game by the time its all said and done? When i was playing it i kept getting the feeling that there was no way in hell this could end with a single route as there were too many variables for that to happen, Like we know Cordia/William know about him and the girls/isabela and they approve to an extent but thinking about it further there's literally no way he could just end up with 1 person if it wasn't Luna, i think she would literally lose her shit and what about Cordia? Is she getting a route or no? She has a dream sequence but does that actually mean she will get a route, also there's no harems in this world that we know of right?
I kinda feel like this is only going to end when the MC takes over the family and gets together with all 4 (Luna, Gracie, Isabela, Cordia) but i know thats just wishful thinking on my part and more then likely NOT going to happen.
Have the developers commented at all at how they believe the relationship/ending will be handled? I noticed that there was no harem tag so i'm assuming that it is indeed going down the route path which also makes me curious to see how its going to be handled.
Sorry for the long rant, this game was amazing and it just had me thinking about a lot of things that could or should happen.

If I am dev I won't say anything about route or ending before it's really going to end
Can't take the risk of losing or disappointing part of my fans while satisfying the others

And if you say now it has route a in it and later you see that this route don't make any sense anymore than even more are pissed at you.If I am dev I won't say anything about route or ending before it's really going to end

Yeah but thats the thing, i can't really see this game having a non harem route, especially after hearing william talk about how they know what hes been doing with the girls and how hes made them better people. I don't see this ending in a non harem way unless he sacrifices himself for the family or something like that.

Having a harem route would be nice, I love harem games. But I think that is not the way Hopes wants the game to go. Either way I'm fine with it.
I read in a previous post (now I can not find it) that the next version will not be compatible with the current ones and therefore the saved games will not be valid and we will have to start the game again. Can you confirm it for me? Thank you.
If your right it would have to be a luna ending right? No other single route really makes since.

I think it would probably have diferent endings. Right now you have the choice to not pursue Isabel as a love interest, that alone is enough for having at least 2 endings.

That is absolutely not true. If Gracie says she is in love with MC, Luna would totally drop MC, for example.
My feelings were our story will end in tragedy. But it could be just me being me.
I havent played in a couple weeks but wasn't Isabel's route required for the final main chapter? If not then that makes sense.
