Progress 15.05.2026
Hello all!
Once again... it’s Friday and yet another progress report. So, what’s up?
Rendering? Rendering is in a decent spot. It has been relatively slow because the first half required new sets and multiple people in the scene, so it took some time to get in place, but I’m more or less where I should be.
Writing is on schedule as well. Of course, one might have to ask what the schedule is, though, since I have no clue. But I’m closing on the last pages of update 13, so all is good.
And then the least spoilerish preview out of the things I’ve done. There is some aftermath of the events from 0.7.0 and 0.8.0 dealt with in upcoming updates. The events in Sorcerer 1 were easy; all the characters had been unknowingly affected by the "real world." And while Angelica, Janet, and Shannon have had brief glimpses of it in someways it’s new to all of them. So you are going to see some parts where they learn to accept things. Sort of. Some of it isn’t necessarily uplifting dialogue as, well, things have changed for them. But it might have a happy ending, or might not, so choose carefully... Anyway, I’ll take a break and finish the scene I was rendering. You all have a great weekend!

Hi Talothral, First of all, thank you for your amazing work. You're one of my favorite developers because of your rich worlds, branching stories and the way you write mature female characters. Sorcerer, Sorcerer 2 and Tribulations of a Mage are among my favorite games. I'd like to share one personal suggestion. For me, Li (Sorcerer) and Lian (Tribulations of a Mage) really stand out from the rest of the female cast. Their facial modeling feels especially believable, and they have a more natural appearance than many other characters. They have become something of a benchmark for me. I would love to see future female characters, especially mature women, reach the same level of realism. In my opinion, some recent characters, such as Elvira, Danita and Aina, don't quite match the quality of Li's design. Their faces and overall modeling feel a little less convincing, making the cast less consistent than it could be. Another point that slightly reduces the impact of your otherwise outstanding work is the use of partial animations in some scenes. Your storytelling and world-building deserve fully immersive animations whenever possible. I hope Li's (and Lian's) design philosophy can become the reference for future characters. I believe this would make your games even stronger, because the writing is already among the best on F95. Thank you again for all your hard work, and I look forward to Sorcerer 2's future updates. Best wishes!
I like these parts as well. Sabrina is one of my favs, but then again they (the LIs) all kind of are! :D Keep up the great work! :3
I hope we will be seeing more of the cute redhead, every game needs more redheads
