Version 0.12.0 Release

New update for patrons, but also see notes relevant to everyone at the end of this post. Version history updated, you know what to do, etc.

Version 0.12.0
- Completed Aka's route.
- Two new plot sex scenes.
- More battle songs have been added, further differentiating the various types.
- Slight chances to SP balance.

Since I'm done in plenty of time, I figured I'd release at the beginning of the weekend. Hopefully that will work better for all timezones. Paradoxically, though I've had more time than usual to debug, I'm more worried about having missed something. >.<

Anyway, this one is big, bigger than I can finish in an average month. Lots of things to do, and hopefully the effort I put in is rewarding. There are some non-combat sections where I thought, "Oh, this will be a nice little touch" and it ended up being way more complex to execute than I'd planned. This section is the other side of Yhilin you didn't see on your focused trips, so there are quests and secrets galore.

I'm a big believer in gameplay producing the feeling that the story requires. For example, in this chapter, Trin will play a major role but won't seem as under control as before. It's also meant to have a less planned feel, so those of you who like to seek out all your options and consider... keep saves. XD

  1. It's also meant to have a less planned feel, so those of you who like to seek out all your options and consider... keep saves.

    Well I have about 26 Saves in this playthrough (the first 16 are of course in a different folder), so no problem! *LOL*.

    Just a question, if you a load save in the Split party screen, can you already choose to do first the Aka's route, or do you have to Megail's first? I'm not sure if I'm explaining myself properly...

    1. The plan is for you to be able to do them in any order, so as of this version you can start with either Aka or Megail. Once Yarra's route is done, you'll be able to start with her as well.

  2. will the dwarf colony for 100000 pron still be there even if we complete the Megail route without being able to afford it?

    1. It will be similar to the other investments, in that you will get another chance, but there will be benefits for having it before then. In this case, it's more of an optional bonus, since not all games will be able to afford 100k ProN.

    2. Looking forward to finding how that one helps, since I said what the hell and threw all my remaining ProN at it.

  3. I'm sorry if this is overasked, but when do you usually put in a public release after patreon's?

  4. Goddammit, no matter how many times I play it, I can still think that everyone is ignoring a silent player on the chessboard. That being Ivala. I mean with a shard of the Lustlord inside of him and yet the priestesses feel nothing from him. Ivala is basically making Simon into her counterpart as the balance of light and dark mandate it All of this is my own Wild Mass Guessing of course.

  7. i would like to say that i found a bug concerning this build, when i talk to the "elder" i found that altina wishes to join them and settle in with the elven community. the problem arrises that when i talk to the elder afterwards the same cycle continues (talk with elder- party talks - talk to elder party repeats conversation- ecetera) is there anyway of getting a different aswer ? i did not have sex with altina right after she was found for al it matters.

    1. Ah, the error is a lack of handling for this stage of the plot. Fortunately, your game can progress in this version: just finish the Order trials and afterward talking to the elder will resolve this plot.

      This is one of three possible results for Altina. She will not leave the party if you either had sex with her immediately, or if you didn't and had the key conversations with her (in the party camp or at the crypt).
