I'm just curious, what happened tot he ghost in the library? After you have sex with her, a bright light shows and she vanishes. I haven't see her since.

You can see her in the astral plane when you fight the necromancer if you do not outright reap his soul.

She transcended as she got the one thing she was most thrilled about the whole time she was around MC.

How many chapters are there so far? I'm just finishing Chapter 7 I think. I'm at the point where I just challenged the Forest Orc Chieftain.

I wish the updates would be into chapters. Following the updates like they are, I keep thinking they are chapters. I ALWAYS look at a game as a book with chapters.
In the end, it's just another name for the same thing. Mostly calling them updates stems from my programming background (C and assembler mostly) Although amusingly enough, while I write they are called chapters in Scrivener.

So other words v20.0 means Chapter 20 right?

Hello all!

Well this will be a long one...

Update 0.22.0 is uploading, render count wise it isn't huge, but the text amount is the same. But that happens from time to time. So there is that, I'll write the weekend as usual and start rendering 0.23.0 on Monday. Overall, the writing is in an okay state. I managed to get rid of a couple of the "blocks" where I wasn't happy about the text, but now the writing flows smoothly again.

And before we get to the pretty picture stuff about the hidden images and short writeup.

  • 1: Pixies Playing. Just for fun, nothing too deep about these two.
  • 3: Knowledge of the ancients. The ghost horse witnessed the gate opening hundreds of years ago before the current events. By who? Well, that is a good question...
  • 4: Lilmina's fantasies. This should be pretty self explanatory considering who is seen in the background, albeit blurred.
  • 5: Ciena listening. Some owls are Ciena's messengers. They listen to the fey folk, deliver their prayers, and protect them from beings that haunt the night.
  • 6: Yuu is watching. Yuu is watching the main character via an orb in his old room.
  • 7: Memories of a nymph. Tomas encountered a nymph during his travels. He has fond memories of her.
  • 8: Day in the Emperor's Harem. Another fairly self explanatory one. A glimpse of what is happening in there on an "average" day when people are bored.
  • 9: Trouble at the Desert. Will be in game to some degree.
  • 10: Ciena watching. Ciena personally listening to Shani's prayers.
  • 11: Yuu's freedom. Yuu roaming the lands after being freed.
  • 12: Aisha Looking. Happened before the game started, the final night at Aisha's home before she left with the expedition to the north.
  • 13: Life prevails. Atrix's last walk on the surface of the world. She smiles because she knows that the life will return to the world one day.
  • 14: The hunt begins. Huntress is being blessed for the hunt. The huntress kneeling is Eshe.
  • 15: The flame is born. Eh... this is difficult to explain. Mostly just I wanted to try something, and it looked nice enough. I'll think something about it if I need to use it. Although I do have a couple of ideas, just not sure if anything will come out of them.
  • 16: The Emperors Wrath. Doing something against the Imperial law can be dangerous regardless who you are, as Lord Izumi found out.
  • 17: Battle at Wailing Lake. Ogres battling some of the undead at the Wailing Lake.
  • 18: Life reborn. Life returns to the world.
  • 19: Darkness arrives. After the war of the ancients, the world was ravaged, the gods and goddesses enshrouded the world in darkness until they were strong enough to restore it. Technically speaking, the order of 18 and 19 is flipped around.
  • 20: Ghosts of the Past. Jhaena and her brother fight.
  • 21: The Deal was made. Empress making a deal with the Dragons. Might have something to come in the game.
  • 22: The Seeker of the Empire. Pretty self explanatory for most parts, Seeker of the Empire is the title that is bestowed one of the Emperor's children. And she is the current one.
  • 23: The Spirit Dog. This was made to have a clearer image of the familiar Eirlys has.
  • 24: Instructions Given. Elder dragons instructing Miki and the other dragons. Might have something to come in the game.
  • 25: Awakening. This is... more foreshadowing of a something that will happen in the game.
  • 26: Far-away lands. Will be in game to some degree.
  • 27: Gladelings dream. Certain Gladeling dreaming about things.
  • 28: Ruthless. Will be in game to some degree (things related to this is mentioned in 26)
So the 9, 14, 16, 21, 24, 25, 26 and 28. These I think are the most relevant for the game as is. Already said it up there, but some of them might be seen in the game to a point. The once related to the desert are at the moment mentioned in the material I'm wirting, whether we end up visiting that region isn't 100% certain yet. Couple of them show the "behind the scenes" steps how the events unfold (regarding Lord Izumi and how things go forward for Lady Miki). Number 20 is an explanation of sorts on how Jhaena got captured, in the end, no matter how good a fighter or a mage you are, 2 vs 1 will be more draining. Assuming it was just one wraith she fought while deflecting her brother's magic.

Now there is one missing, I will add what it means in to the next progress post when the update goes to public. And again for the next one once it's public... Assuming I can't rig something to the hidden image gallery. Need to look that up.

And as traditions, no in game renders to avoid the final spoilers. Recently I've been in a mood to do renders that happens underwater, I'm not sure why as I haven't exactly planned anything to happen underwater as is. If it would make sense to add, I add it, if it doesn't? Then no point adding it just for sake of adding it. Although, I did find interesting things from my library thanks to these...

Anyway. That's it for today. Stuff is being uploaded and the release cycle starts when it is done. With the usual caveats regarding the weather as there is a storm supposedly heading this way and power situation. Have a great weekend you all!

Talothral as a spy and scaring enemies you dirty minded dev. :p

and back to topic: not bad update nor that long, sex with dryad raised few questions but not important ones, update had some funnies and usual amount of typos (like maevrin forgetting that elf has letter e too), plot (if there is still 1) didn't advance anywhere (besides mc getting more wives).

secret image was bit late game.

Actually it did, there is a target now where to... well not next but soon after a detour or two. More important things to worry about. You should know by now there is more than one plot line that is being followed. ;)

It's happening at the right pace...

Truth to be told, if you would ignore certain "realisim" aspects the story could be told in handful of updates, especially if you would go from A to B then to C followed by D without the "discovery" that something is happening at B which leads to discovery at C and then D. That would be extremely dull story telling in the end.
