Hey everyone,

first Dev Log of the year, so Happy New Year to everyone.

I got back into my usual dev work on January 2nd when I started setting up the first renders for Chapter 5.
Before that, I did a bit of planning, setting up some environments for later parts of the chapter, new characters, you get the idea... basic stuff.
I also started writing and coding the first lines of dialogue into Ren'Py.
Of course, the progress was a bit slower than usual because of the holidays. In the end, I still got more done than I expected.

I got 77 renders done this week and the script file contains 660 lines.
Next week's work will be mostly rendering to catch up a bit with the already-written dialogue.

The plan for Chapter 5:

I already mentioned at the end of last year, that Chapters 5 and 6 will be a bit different compared to the first 4 chapters.
Chapter 5 will have no content with Kaija, Elea, and Fiona whilst Chapter 6 will focus on their personal stories.
The reason for it is, that the bigger part of Chapter 5 will focus on a specific part of the world where it doesn't make sense for these 3 to show up.
On what part? Well, you can get an idea if you look at the attached Chapter Title (I usually render these when in Beta but this time I did it early because of this Dev Log).
You can expect more pointy ears in the coming months and throughout Chapter 5.

The first part of Chapter 5 will start where Chapter 4 ended (surprise!) and after a few scenes dealing with the aftermath of Chapter 4's ending (and 2 potential lewd scenes...) the story will move on to show the other side of the impending conflict.
It'll give you a bit more time to explore the Elves of The Neverwhere Tales and a bit more time with the one LI that hardly had any screen time yet.


I think that's it for now.
Have a nice weekend, guys

Cheers,
Ceolag

BTW, I love your VN. It's the rare gem that has a quality story, animation, and characters.

Some mytholgist(?) think the Aes Sidhe are either decedents or what the were changed into over time with the stories from the Tuatha. It's a bit murky because many of the legends of these groups are oral traditions.
Thanks, I don't know much tbh. I looked through Irish mythology since she is Irish, the closest I found was that. :giggle:

Ooh maybe she is a vampire. o_O

I have a heap of updates and new VNs to read at the moment. I put all of them aside to replay this last night. I love this VN.

No Kaija content? Dang I do enjoy punishing her deceitful butt. I didn't even get a chance to tell her I screwed a random from the bar. Take that betrayer!!!! Sorry caught up in the moment. I would think there would have been a goodbye scene or something with Kaija. Interesting.

I look forward to time with Medb and the elves, it will be very interesting. Elves are always problematic. There are the classic elven types dark elves and Tolkien type elves. Its very hard to pull off a new interpretation of elves these days that people like let alone accept. I have faith in Ceolag to pull it off and I do find Medb fascinating.
