Hello friends!

We continue publishing reports on the preparation of 'The Library Story' release ver. 0.97.5.7:

1. We received the rest of the English text from our translator today. 60,000 symbols with spaces of Belle's fun adventures in the Reading Room with several visitors. ^__^ Now it's necessary a couple of days for proofreading and beta-reading, after which we can finally add all this to the game. All further texts will already be used in future versions.

2. We did a good job on corrections and catching bugs. Some of them were quite funny: for example, Belle refused to serve Gaston in the Reading Room, but agreed to please other visitors.

Besides, in the technical part, some problems were also discovered in terms of compatibility with previous saves after the final assembly of all the game. Fixing this points will take another couple of days of work and additional beta-tests. Most likely in LS 0.97.6 we will ask you to start a new game, but it’s still early to talk about it.

3. All work with art for the upcoming version is completely finished. We wanted to add a couple more small scenes, but we had to move them to the next version. For now, we're focused on releasing the already prepared content.

So the first release of 'The Library Story' in 2024 is at the finish line, there are literally days left before the publishing that need to be spent on the necessary improvements and corrections.

Thanks for your support and understanding, guys, stay in touch!

Wait till they have 1/4 of the content promised in this "huge" update. They already postponed it 3 times in 3 weeks. These guys are either the greatest procrastinators to ever grace this Earth or they do it on purpose, there is no other option.

They are Russian. Over promise, under deliver and never on time seems to be the Russian way for everything. Something will be delivered, and it will work and be entertaining, It just will be done at the Russian pace.

More BS, as usual.



Hello friends!

Today we’ll talk a little about another mechanic that we planned at the very beginning of the game, but are only now getting ready to add to the game. And this, all of a sudden, is an alignment! In general, we all understand that Gaston is not the most positive character...





Gaston: Hey! I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way! Or does this excuse work only for busty rabbit lovers?.. Well, yes, I knew it.

...But despite this, from the very beginning we wanted you, our best players in the world, to have a choice in how exactly Gaston achieves his goals. Will he be an unprincipled scoundrel, or just a persistent guy with his own principles.





For example, Gaston may not set Emma up so that she ends up in the stocks. This is one example of a “bad” solution in our - authors' -opinion. Or Gaston's conscious decision to simply watch from the sidelines as the Beast has fun in the forest with Belle... It's hard to call this a good deed, right?

When we fully add the alignment system to the game, Gaston will receive points for good or bad Gaston for some choices. They will, as expected, influence the ending, but also the unlocking of some options, both in the story and in the erotic scenes. ^__^





And also, for example, Gaston, who is too good, will have the opportunity to achieve a lot in the Hunters' Guild, but his career in the Secret Society or the Thieves' Guild will be limited. But the most important thing is that a truly good Gaston will be able to open up new approaches to Belle (and other heroines)... This is logical, right?

However, we all know that many people like to play as evil characters... It's just a game and roleplaying a character, right? ^__^ So for real evildoers, unique atrocities and insidious moves will also open up that are inaccessible to spineless good people!

Let's say right away that you won't be able to play the lawful neutral Gaston (and also multiclass him into a druid-paladin with two levels of alchemist :D), but still the alignment, even in such a basic form, will definitely add depth to 'The Library Story'. For now we only talk about the foundation for this system, but in the coming versions we will begin to add new options for good and bad Gaston.

P.S. The rest piece of translated text for LS 0.07.5.7 has already been proofread and is being added to the game right now. Ahead is the correction of compatibility with old saves, final testing, catching the most vicious and evasive bugs, and, finally, the release! There are very few left till publishing the new LS version, so stay in touch, guys!

I've already lost hope, at least don't post a release date, if you don't know you can accomplished it.
I'm visiting this post at least to see the comments... :)
