Ashe + SDA Jan Dev Update
Hey everyone! 
Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and a fantastic start to 2025! 
I'm thrilled to share some exciting updates on SDA and Ashe!
First, a quick apology! 🙏 I meant to share this news earlier (it was originally announced on Discord on January 3rd), but it completely slipped my mind with all the holiday craziness 
and getting back into the swing of things. I usually post these updates across all my platforms around the same time, and I'm sorry for the delay this time around! I've rephrased it a bit for my other socials, but you're all getting the same news. Thanks for your understanding! 
Now, onto the good stuff! 🎉
SDA 4.2 Mini-Update (Coming Soon!)
Custom names, conversations, and Daegon banter are coming in a 4.2 mini-update! 😊 Kerstyn and I are working on it this month, roughly aiming for an end of Q1 release! This includes previously recorded content from Kukielle, who gave her blessing before leaving the modding community.
SDA 5.0: The Grand Finale!
Version 5.0 will have EVERYTHING else! You can read the full planned changelog here [Link] for a HUGE list of features, including Vigilant, LOTD, Civil War, Ashe interactions, and more!
❗ Disclaimer: This is the final planned changelog, but remember that mod development can be unpredictable. Things might change, but this gives you a good idea of what's coming!
Ashe Updates!
Ashe has her own changelog, too! You can find it here: [Link]. Mini-updates for Ashe will happen alongside 4.2 and 5.0, with full focus shifting to her after SDA is complete.
Ashe's release was a massive success, winning Mod of the Month for December and becoming one of the most voted mods of 2024! Thank you all! And shoutout to the new gore mod for taking the top spot - it looks amazing! 🔥
Thank you all! Stay awesome folks!

Keep up the good work sir. Hopefully we get banter with Inigo, Lucian, and The Green Song. I would love to see multi-character banter and custom dialogues if everyone is on the same team. Imagine the storytelling alongside location awareness. 4 to 8 followers bantering in the same conversation. To make it even better, during some convos the group might ask your opinion on the topic they are talking about. I would pay money for that. Thankyou once again for all you do. Keep elevating!
Hey Alex, thanks for the praise! Really appreciate it. For Ashe, I've contacted the three authors for permissions and I am still waiting on their replies if I recall correctly, though I admit it's been a bit of a while since I've last checked my inbox. Its unlikely we'll get full 4+ characters bantering with each other as the collaboration and communication that'd require is a lot to say the least. But hopefully Ashe and Serana's one way with them, and Ashe and Serana talking with each other would be good enough!
Right on
Will you ever add banter talk with Vilja?
Unfortunately no, since the author for that mod left the community.
For SDA 5.0 do you need a clean save ?
As of now, no. But it's too early to tell in development. I'll let you guys all know in the future.
Wish Daegon had better writing and good voice acting because I love the banter Serana has with other followers. Honestly, Inigo is the only follower other than SDA that I actually like. Everyone else just pales in comparison.
Thanks a lot for the update and both you and Kerstyn's hard work!. I am very glad that SDA 5.0 will include the whole roadmap and also a patch for the great LOTD! I asume that it will take some time to reach LE haha but it will be worth the wait!
SDA 4.2 and 5.0 releases will come out at the same time, seeing as how there's already been a port.
