Status Update #6 - February 16, 2025

Nothing much to report this week! Progress continues to be made...as of right now, I'm thinking I'll be able to mantain my Q1 2025 release goal, but Episode 1 may not be ready until April. It's a bit frustrating because, while I don't have a following to speak of yet, I'd like to make a habit of meeting deadlines if and when I do!

This week, I'd like to preview another main character: Erika. If Duvessa is meant to be the ultimate femme fatale fantasy, Erika is the tomboy of your dreams. She's a peasant girl who lives in a village controlled by Duvessa and her family, and who becomes increasingly intertwined with our heroine's schemes as the story progresses. Her endless hours of labour out in the fields have left her with a muscular and curvy body...at the moment, however, her oblivious nature renders her largely unaware of her latent sex appeal. Currently, Erika is probably my second-favourite character to write after Duvessa herself. She's a super fun ideological foil and sidekick for Duvessa...in broad strokes, you might think of her as the Sancho to Duvessa's Don Quixote. Next week, if the Encyclopaedia isn't ready yet, I'll preview another girl for you. :)
