I think it was the Templar traitors that killed Finn behind dear Daddy's back. It seems easier to branch the storyline this way. This way, whatever it was MC or someone else, the person responsible can be associated with the Templars and the "killed Finn" and low RP Medb path can be pretty much the same with just small differences in dialogue. It can also be the third party but in my opinion it will lead to more branching and that is why I am not sold on this theory just yet.

What changed in the latest update? There is no changelog on the front page, and from the unchanged version number it sound like just a bugfixes.

See, I disagree on that. Branching topic that is.

If it was 3rd party, there is initial confrontation with Templars/Parents, which then goes to be resolved by both Templars and Alfar uniting to fight them.
No matter initial discussion with Templars, path always ends with fighting 3rd party.

If it's Templars, now you've got to create multiple paths:
- 1 if MC is friendly to Templars
- 1 if MC hates Templars
- 1 if MC hates both Templars and Alfar, so he has no one to stand with during war

Also 3rd party allows dev to avoid war entirely (which would probably be pain to render).
Full on war means multiple renders from both points of view.
3rd party means linear path towards ending.

Hey everyone,

This week I focused on getting the remaining animations for the current scene done.
Especially one of them gave me quite a bit of a headache due to the dforce stuff. Hair simulations through several hundred frames aren't fun. :-D
I did manage to get most of the stuff done as I had imagined it so that's probably still a win...
The second PC is still busy rendering the animations but it's a great help that I can continue to pose new renders on the other PC now.

Next week's focus will be on static renders and a bit of coding/writing.
After that, I'll tackle the second batch of animations.
Outside of that, my main focus will be to stay (mostly) healthy as it seems everyone around me is trying to kill me through coughing and sneezing...

The numbers for this week:
52 new static renders for a total of 929
6 new animations for a total of 13
211 new lines in the script file for a total of 2827

Have a nice weekend.
Cheers,
Ceo

I did not mean that the Templar Order killed Finn but the traitors without the Grand Master's knowledge. We know that the traitors are pushing for war. Traitors can be allied with the third party and so far the third party usually operate indirectly, they use others to do the job and cause chaos that lead to war (fits what we know about Fiona's family). We do not know what mission she was send on that led to her death and that mission may be why Alfar belive she was killed by the Templars.

As far as we know the war is going to happen anyway. MC can kill Finn and they are still going to fight. He is not part of the Templars but he is close enough for Alfar to see him as one and he is not part of the third party. What will happen on this route? Will we get a war if MC killed her and peace if he did not? No, I do not think so. The story will go in the same linear way more or less with some smaller branching involved but not that big. Besides, MC won't have much time to change Alfar's minds because they want to declare a war on Templars the next day and that is why MC has to leave them early. This is why the war will start no matter who killed Finn. MC's focus will be on the third party and the Templar traitors that his father told him about. I do not think MC will join the Alfar-Templar war on either side. His goal is to try to make peace between them and unite both fractions against the third party.
