Now that 1.6 is out, I want to share what’s coming next and what my plans are moving forward. First of all, thank you so much for all the support, feedback, and love you’ve shown for the game. Knowing you’re enjoying the story and characters gives me the energy to keep pushing forward!

Here’s a breakdown of what’s ahead:

1 - The End is Near

As many of you already know, Chapter 1 is nearing its conclusion. My goal is to wrap up the story in Version 1.7, which will serve as the final update for this chapter and build a strong bridge into Chapter 2. I really hope the ending hits the mark for all of you!

2 - The Fate of Our Characters

In 1.7, characters like Sephira, Glavius, Aldos, Tanya, and others will each receive a proper send-off. While some of them may reappear in Chapter 2, they'll take on smaller roles as supporting or background characters—a natural evolution as the story expands.
I might create extra scenes for them in the future, but for now, there are no plans beyond what’s coming in 1.7. Once Chapter 1 is complete, I’ll be shifting my focus entirely to Corruption of the Elven Wives (COTEW) and the beginning of Chapter 2.

3 - Progress on Corruption of the Elven Wives

As per the recent poll, I’ll be working on COTEW after wrapping up WOTDE Chapter 1.
For now, the project is temporarily on hold—but here’s a little teaser:
The next major character will be a Paladin Elf. I’ll reveal her design soon!

4 - Marin’s Ending

In the latest update, Marin was tricked by a human and caught by her husband. In the alternate ending, she runs away from the village and meet with Aldos. But in the main storyline, she flees alone—never crossing paths with Aldos again. She simply vanishes into the world, seeking a new life far from everything she once knew.
Will she return in Chapter 2? Maybe.

5 - What to Expect in 1.7 (Spoilers!)

Here’s a little peek into what's coming in the final patch of Chapter 1:

• A familiar face returns—Sephira (Daisy)—bringing a glimmer of hope to Aldos.

• She guides Aldos and Glavius toward the Hidden Key needed to open the Dark Tower of Darius.

• Along the way, she’ll show everything she’s learned from the Temple of Luxury...

6 - Kora’s Master Plan & Tanya’s Fate

Kora has manipulated Glavius and is now setting the stage for her ultimate plan—to destroy Aldos. Meanwhile, Tanya remains missing, and no one in the village knows where she is.
This mystery will stir Feanor’s wrath, playing directly into Kora’s schemes.

Once again, thank you all for your incredible support—it truly means the world to me. I’m excited to share the grand finale of Chapter 1 and the future adventures ahead.

Cheers,
Darthz
