Hello everyone!
The wait is over! I’m incredibly excited to finally push v0.90 live. We are making massive strides toward that full release, and I’m so proud of where the game is heading.
Let’s dive into what you’ll find in this update!
The Star of the Show: Caira
This month, I went all-in on Caira. I’ve completely remade her art to give her a fresh new look, and I’ve added 4 brand new chapters to her story. Officially concluding her arc before the Pregnancy Arc that’s coming in the mega final release.
The Goods: 3 new animations (with 6 variations), 8 high-quality CGIs, and a whopping 72 new poses.
New character: Enny
Enny: I’ve dropped the first 4 chapters of her story to get things rolling. This includes 1 animated scene (with variation), 2 high-quality CGIs, and 32 new poses.
New character: The Seer
The Seer: Also getting her first 4 chapters. She comes with 1 animated scene (with 4 variations), 6 CGIs, and 38 poses.
World & UX Improvements
I’ve been doing a lot of "polishing under the hood" to make the game feel more cohesive:
The Boat Map: I’ve unlocked this from the very beginning. Previously, it was tied to Revna’s story, which caused some confusion for new players who didn't know how to earn money. To bridge this, I’ve added a mini-chat with Gunnar who will point you toward Revna if you’re looking to go on a raid.
Map Tweaks:
Temple: Since I’ve removed Varka (the ghost), I’ve revamped the temple, created a beautiful statue for the Goddess Freyja, and shifted Disa’s schedule to nighttime.
Village: Added signboards to help you find the blacksmith and the shop, and added a chimney to the blacksmith’s forge so you know where the heat is!
Minigames and More:
Brand 2 new minigames.
Visual Overhaul: I’ve updated the Map art, Heart art, Heart icons, and Achievement icons to match Caira’s stunning new look.
Bug Fixes: Smoothed out a few cropped images in Kara’s story that were acting up.
Voice-Over
This month was a total marathon for audio. I’ve added full audio for Caira’s 16 chapters, the first 4 chapters for Enny and the Seer, and Gunnar’s battle chat. Total: 462 new audio files and 34 minutes of crisp, new audio!
Personal Update: The "House Trilogy"
On a personal level, I have a massive update regarding the "House Trilogy." My wife and I have finally agreed: we are moving out!
I’ve hated this house since day one. My master evil plan: which mostly involved complaining about it for months on end... is finally paying off! Ever heard of the Whine Until You Win strategy? It’s foolproof, highly effective. My wife finally gave in to the noise. 😂
I’m really hoping to find a place that is big enough for a dedicated office. Right now, I’m working out of our bedroom, which is also my wife’s office. She’s on meetings 24/7, so finding the focus to create content for you guys is... a challenge, to say the least! Getting a dedicated workspace will be a game changer. First step is done: I managed to convince Captain Evil!
Let's go!
What’s Next?
I’m making a slight pivot from the original roadmap for our next update. I’ll be focusing my efforts on Revna’s story and art remake, as well as wrapping up the audio and story for Edda. This shift is strategic. I want to ensure the game is in the best possible shape for our upcoming Steam Demo. It’s a heavy workload, but it’s the right move to get us where we need to be. Let’s make it happen!
And finally, thank you. To everyone supporting this game. You guys are the absolute best!! 😊 I couldn't do any of this without you. Love you all!
Enjoy v0.90!
