Changelog:

v0.2.5

The new update is here! You will face the most cruel, the most insidious, the most perfidious enemy you can ever encounter: An accountant!

New feature: Chapter Select. You can now skip to new content, or to any previous update you’d like.

New feature: Quest Marker. You can go to the Guard Tower and ask Chromie to pinpoint where you need to be on the map. Only available for the new update content.

I added a quick feature to hide the logo in the main menu by clicking on him, if you want to… Admire the view :p

I’d like to thank all the beta tester who helped me to make this update as stable as possible.

I hope you will enjoy this new update. I outdid myself in terms of scenes, with 7 new ones, and a cool event at the end that I will let you discover, but I feel like the story could have been better, that some discarded ideas could have been implemented. But if I let myself being trapped by that thought, I’ll never release anything ^

v0.2.4

Known bug : I was told at some point, when you hug Whitemane, the previous image wouldn’t disappear and you would seen two Whitemanes superposed. I couldn’t find the bug, if you encounter it, please contact me

But let’s talk about the Update first

First of all, it will not have as much content as the Jaina part, since the story is mostly done. It will have, however, no less than 4 artworks, depending of what choice you made at the end of the last update!

Also, I’ve started to implement new mechanism. You can now sleep in bed with Whitemane. I mean, more than a black screen!

A few quest chain has been started as a set up for the next update, and might end abruptly. Don’t worry, I won’t abandon them!

Speaking of abandoned quest chain, I have finally finished Light’s Hope return quest, so you can report to Tyrosus if you blew up the Ziggurats! It will also start a new quest chain around Darrowshire, but it is not finished. There’s much to explore in there! I hope you will have fun

What’s next ?

As you can see, there is not that much content. This update is more a “proof of life” and a trial of some new ideas. The “Crimson Update” will be the big gun. I know you may be disappointed to see a small update after all this time, but it is only a “part 2” of a previous update. I made it bigger and it took time, but it is not a “true” update.

So thank you for your patience, I will keep working on the next update. I’ve already put together a lot of work, but it will be truly a giant update. So for now, please enjoy the Jaina Part 2 update, I hope you will like it. I had a ton of fun working on it, and I hope we will continue this adventure!

0.2.3c

Added an option to forcefully start the Jaina update at Chromie. Only accessible if you finished Hearthglen’s storyline

0.2.3a

The Jaina update is divided into 3 phases, and two of them are ready ! The two first phases are the storyline, the last phase is more focused on the H scenes and closing content. I will release it somewhere in February I think

Also : You will see a placeholder for Jaina’s reading, it will be changed in the future update.

Content

Phase 1 :

Focused on Jaina story and Gandling
Few mild H-scene with Jaina (placeholder)

Phase 2 :

Second act, stuff happening with Jaina very story-focused
Development of Alistra !
A few H-scenes with Alistra

Initial Release

Developer Notes:

New build 0.2.0 is here ! But first, a word

Hello everyone ! I know, it’s been a long time. I missed it too. I’d like to explain why it took so long and why it shouldn’t happen anymore, so you can have a better idea on how I work and hopefully I will appease your worries.

After the first release, I needed a lot of new characters, including secondary ones, such a Tirion, Tyrosus, etc. It just had to be done once to expend the cast and now it is done. Now I can work on more story with more H-scenes instead. So the drought is over !

I opened my Patreon. You can see the icon linking to it in the main menu. Do not feel pressured into supporting the game if you can’t afford it, the game won’t collapse out of lack of support, don’t worry. Supporting it will just make the releases faster.

Important : Older saves won’t work. Given how the project developped, I had to restart from stratch a lot of things. But don’t worry, this is an exception that will help me to integrate older saves later. Next time, your saves will be compatible !… Probably…

This is a PREPATCH. I made it so, since older saves won’t work anymore, you will grind back your previous progress. There’s a lot of new content, new functionality, a quest log, some stuff, Corin’s Crossing battle and you can take your first walk in the Wastern Plaguelands. But the story won’t go far. You will have to wait for the 0.2.1 to enter Hearthglen and meet Lilian Voss. (In about 6 weeks I think). You can wait for the next release if you don’t want to play a half patch.

Thank to the beta testers who helped me to bug proof the game. If you encounter new bugs, or find more typos, you can report them.

I’d like to thank you all for your patience and your support. I hope you will enjoy this build as much as I enjoyed creating it. And I will see you in six weeks for the 0.2.1, where we will final go to Hearthglen !

My main inspiration is Four Element Trainer
