Hello all!
It is Monday and a release day... I hope, soon. Anyway.
Rendering of 0.40.0 has started. Luckily, I wasn't as ambitious writing this one as I was with the 0.39.0. Still a lot of text, things that can be missed, but less hectic. Which reminds me, there is a scene I need to fix for 0.39.0, didn't notice it until too late. But I'll try to fix it for 0.40.0. Annoying, but happens.
Writing in other hand is still on 0.43.0. Why? Well, my body and mind decided it was time to sleep. So I slept a lot of extra hours instead of writing, but that's just a good thing. Insomnia is good for productivity but it sucks for creativity, but it isn't that much missing, so it won't be a long delay. Especially since I'm altering my work routine again. Some things just aren't that good while efficient. Anyway...
A preview! Mostly because it is a mild spoiler. A bit more foxes today. I try to incorporate them into the tower, so they get scenes. These past few updates have been more focused on the people tied to the tower. Orcs, the foxes, a bit of ogres and Rhea. The next section has Maryn, Eshe, and the Nagas. Then the follow-ups... well, plans are plans, have to see how things go with them.
Inspiration is a curious thing, at times it take very little to spark, at times it's like pulling teeth. Today, it was an easy day for it, granted the extra hours of sleep helped tremendously. Anyway, a bit more rendering then writing, and compiling the remaining release post...

.Mal finally emerges from the bedroom, at least Katrina will be able to finally speak to her father - unless he just popped out for a sandwich.

When creativity went to sleep, common sense and basic physics left the pictures also:
MC holding a sword the length of her forearm, with a hilt/grip/handle the size of her forearm, dual wielding a slicing blow downwards from the side while she tries to block it (does not matter if MC is just doing slow motion, play pretend, barely touching her entire forearm, her palm and her elbow in one move) - she cannot block or save her arm from getting chopped to smitereens from a two handed broad sword downward slice directly into her unprotected, flailing about, arm - not to mention her stance that does not offer absolutely nothing opposite to stop the blow from pulverizing her whole arm and going straight into her gut.
We know MC is just a poser, a nobody, who just so happends to play with a lotta favors from nepo baby higher-ups, but this is criminal!

Canto Forte, If you look from a HEMA point of view, you're absolute right,
just take into account, that not even the Swordfights, shown on movies shows or series are "the real thing" plus his grip is too close for a double handed sword hilt.
The picture has to look sensational,and dramatic,to convey a hard fight, which it doees, (even when my stomach churred, seeing it LOL )
AVN Developers are not martial arts experts so it is up to us to give them this Leeway.

I would agree with you if the point of the scene would be about fighting to begin with. And that being said, it's supposed be thrust not a strike anyway, not that the starting position would be a good for a trust either, but eh, you use what you got.Canto Forte, If you look from a HEMA point of view, you're absolute right,

Also, Canto? Why you still haven't shared what the hell you are smoking... must be really good stuff to jump into so large conclusion that you miss the point by couple thousand miles.

Well ... we kind of established MC as this tank: a do all, know all, one man army, when we get to take the tower all by our lonesome hunky selves, armed only with our wits and a god given familiar ... so getting such frail and sweet cat honeys into one-handed sword defense against a dual-wielded broadsword that is aimed at cutting her in half, knowing full well MC himself would use totally excessive force to crush his enemy with overpowered, overkill magiks ... does not sit well with trying to keep them alive and not giving them false hope about their skill in a fight.

most important where to get those seeds, since growing and consuming over here is absolutly legal....
Hey, i have no qualms about it, since I love your VN and enjoy (not overanalizing things) the picture looks spectacular and conveys what she is meant,
Only the perv in me says she could use the mmrpg armor (you know, destso smaller and sexy the more it protects
)

Yes, but it is more assessing skills than teaching to fight. In a fair fight there is no contest vs someone who has barely hold a sword before, or any other weapon than a butter knife. But if you are testing reaction speed, strenght, and so on for sake to know how to teach someone? First you show few basic strikes and thursts, then you repeat them as an opponent. Then you know how to teach someone more efficiently. Truth the be told, the method is remnant of my army days and the drill instructer there. He gave us a bunch of rubber knives for close quarter combat practice and went one on one with everyone. He kicked everyones ass first, but then he knew how to instruct all of use to be much better than we were.
Sure there is the risk of getting wounded, but didn't have wooden training swords and the wooden textures on those didn't look... good.
I do have two variants of chainmail bikini's...most important where to get those seeds, since growing and consuming over here is absolutly legal....

Because its bullshit and not an actual compression. Its just I'd guess Webps. The uploaders who update this should just use only that or leave it outNOTE: People wanted a smaller compressed version, no clue why the other is 5GB
Random fun fact, just converting the PNG's to webp it would be around 13 GB at the moment.... and I keep saying it over and over again. The "compressed" version is for patrons who want decent quality but less than 10 GB file (it is 90% quality over the orginals). I just put it up there because there are people who started with that version.

Thats not really worth it 2 GB down? 2.6 GB down... Would be better to just put out a webp one at 97% quality and a real compression like the Android.
But then again why do I care I aint touching this anyways, even if its in the Queue for 3 weeks again.

i have an issue that i dont know if anyone else have since the last 3 updates... some options in the preferences tab are permanently locked and i can´t change that... which is mildly inconvenient.. but not game breaking...Just a heads-up for this if it is a bug or just me being a dumb dumb ... i usually just grab the update file instead of downloading the whole game again and again

Don't know the scene haven't played it yet so thanks for that but...
It could of also been explaned away as they useing Blunt training swords.
And maybe she's either useing Streanth Enhancing magic.
Or is just extreamly strong resulting in at worst some painfull bruising.
Just Saying.
