Hello there ! I knoow I'm not very active here, but I still try to post a bit ! So here'sa big dev blog I just made, about the upcoming 0.15, and more ! Enjoy !
Heyo ! I've been putting this post on the side for waaaayyyy too long. Well, it's time to finally find motivation, and do this ! So, let's talk about 0,15, what's in it, the idea behind it, the problems I found along the way (and damn, they were many!), the plan for 0,16, and all that... It's gonna be a big dive, so get ready !!! Let's do this !
The content of 0.15 :

Elleria's new model :
You've probably already seen her new model, if not, I'll post it just after ! Our dear Elf mommy got a complete remake, just like her daughter. Her model really felt old and didn't looked great, and man, this one is much better ! I don't plan to change every girl, as some still have very solid models, I'd say the main three I wanted to redo are done ! But the question is always « Hey, how do I implement it ? » It would be sad to just have it appear suddenly, it's much more interesting if there's some story implications. So the idea came when a specific scene won the game scene polls. The basic idea was « Elleria gets fucked by a futa Succubus ». So why not jump on the opportunity to have her make a pact with a demon, in exchange of this new sexy body ? And then, as part of the payment, we get to the scene ! And while I'm at it, why not reuse the cool Succubus Illonia model I had made for a pinup last year ? I loved it, it could be fun to do ! So there we go, a scene, and a reason why this happens ! And of course, since I know there's people that don't want to share, I still give you the occasion to stop from happening, and just get Elleria transforme with no price to pay ! At least, for now...
So, along this scene come a few pics to show Elleria's transformation, as well as a biiig dance animation, of her shaking that hot MILF body ! I've also updated the displayed pics when talking to her, and added quite a few dialogues options, to learn more about her ! She also have a new masturbation animation thjat you can encounter when going to meet her. It's a brand new scene, not just the old one with the updated model !
I know a lot of people want to see a scene between her and Lothar, that'll be for 0.16 ! I event proposed to add one to the 0.15 full release, but people prefered to see it later, and have this version released sooner. So 0.16 it is !!! She'll probably have more scenes later on too, of course, and I'm thinking of a very big addition around her later on, we'll see how things go. Anyway, here's everything around Elleria in this update, as it's the biggest chunk, and focus !

Consequences of the Competition scene :
If you've played 0.14, you've probably encountered Skadis and Bambi going out for a walk, and offering you a « friendly » competition : the one who cums the most can enjoy the looser's girl for one fuck ! In that scene, you had the possibility to either grow your dick using magic to win, or do nothing and loose. Well, I've now added the sequel to this, two different scenes depending of the outcome of this competition. And hey, you can play it multiple time if you want to see both results!Those two scene are threesome, both featuring Illonia and Bambi, and either Skadis or Lothar depending of the scene. But don't think it's the same scene with a character swap, they're each unique !
The idea behind these scenes is to allow for more pregnancies, as both pussies gets claimed. So Illonia can get impregnated by Skadis (with a new super cool icon drawn by MrExpireNoodles and commissioned by RizzlyBear), and bear her childrens. And while Bambi can't pregnant yet because it's only for Illonia, 0.16 is gonna be dedicated around pregnancies for other girls, so with this scene being here, you'll have the occasion to make get her full of Lothar's babies as well !
Lastly, about those scenes : you'll have two options, after ending the competition scene (yeah, I say scene a lot, sorry). Either you directly jump into them, or you can wait for the prize to be claimed later. If you decide to wait, you can go see Skadis in her camp and trigger the scenes, considering you got a « fuck pass » for the Competition. And if you wait too long, Bambi will present herself at your tent, and triggering automatically the scene. It's a fun little feature I thought added a bit of life. Also, if you played it on 0.14, don't worry ! I tracked the win and losses from the competition, so you already have some of those « fuck pass » ready to be used ! And that concludes this section about follow up of a scene from the previous update ! I honestly did not planned to make the scenes as long, and such a complex system around it, but I'm happy with how it turned out ! So I hope you'll enjoy it as well !

Tiredness, a new small mechanic :
More and more content is tied to going to sleep. In 0.14, we already had three scenes triggered by going to bed (The Watcher's intrusion, The Goblin Girls intrusion and making the breakfast with Illonia). Now I also have the countdown for the two scene mentionned earlier. And I'll probably add more, cause it's a good way to start things, like trigering new events and quests. So the big question was « How do I make the player go to sleep ? ». Because you basically didn't needed to, as you could just use the « Relax a bit » skill to recover fully. So here's how I decided to tackle it : -Each time you win a fight, either by killing or fucking, you get 1 Tiredness point -Each time you loose (or surrender), you get 2 points -Escaping a fight does not give any point
-Other action outside of combat, like scenes, don't add points
-When you reach 15 points, you get Tired, a new status reducing all your stats by 15% (except agility). You also get a little dialogue with Illonia saying you're tired -If you reach 30 points, you get exhausted. You loose the previous status, and gain a new one, reducing all your stats by 35% (except agility). Once again ,you get a little dialogue saying you're really exhausted -By going to sleep, you fully recover ! You're now ready for a new day, in much better shape ! This is the idea, adding a small and then pretty big debuf on the team, if you don't go to sleep from time to time. The idea is to push the player to go recover in the base sometimes, and also push you to trigger the scenes and other effects tied to the bed. I made it so that it's not too much of a pain either, you have to chain quite a few fights before noticing the effects. You also don't get tired by escaping from combat, and it doesn't reduce your agility too, so you can still wander around the map without too much troubles. The stats might be changed later if, it's too punishing, or barely a minor inconvenince, but I think it's a good way to have players to get back to sleep without being too much of a pain. Tell me whant you think about it !
The rest of the content :
Okay, this is already pretty long, so I'm gonna try to summarize the rest quickly !
-A new repeatable scene with Hvitstrom, Skadis and Bambi ! It can happen when entering the glade where Hivtstrom usually is, and checking his missing spot.You'll then see the scene where the two sluts fall in love with his dick ! It's one of the scene from the polls, I need to add more of those ! -A few new Pictures to add to your Art Book ! Some sold at the gnome, and some around, in the wilds. I still have to implement this, so I can't say how many exactly !
-A few more stories sold by Bolgar ! Less related to the game characters, more varied content. Once again, I still need to implement it ! I'll see how much is done ! -As always, some small fixes of the bugs I found along the way ! -And also, the pregnant version of the new scenes ! Thanks to BawdyBytes and Et3rnal who helped me making them !!! And that concludes what's coming in 0.15 ! A pretty big update, as you can see, with a total of 6 scenes, a brand new model, and some new mechanics ! It took quite a bit to make, sadly, and it was very hard to finish (I'll talk about it just after), but it's almost done !!! I'm happy to have it it released soon, and I really hope you'll enjoy it ! Oh, and when does it com out ? Not sure exactly, but expect the full release next week ! As always, it'll first be accessible to the Warrior and higher supporters, before going out for all supportres three days after. And one week after the full release is when it goes public ! So you everyone should be able to play it at the start of September !

Bugs and crashes :
Don't worry, this is not a section to tell you the game is fucked up and it'll have massive bugs, that should be smooth. No, it's about what I had to go through. 0.15 was by far the hardest version I've ever done, and the most frustrating to work on. Not because of the content, but because of RPGMaker, who appears ot show its limits. Those who saw my last streams might remember it, I had a looots of crashes making me loose work, and even worse.
For some reason, when I tried to save, there was like a 10% chance that the software would crash instead, making me loose all the progress I had done. So even saving often was a solution to reduce the amount of work lost, it wasn't perfect, as it was the thing provoking those bugs... And on two or three occasions, I had even worse.
My file countaining and the Common Events (so where I code most of my scenes and all) got fully wiped out, becoming empty. Thankfuly I had some backups, so I only lost one day of work each time, but it's already a lot. In the last days of the BETA, I basically had to do all of my work twice, since the first time it crashed or got wiped, so I had to rewrite all the dialogues, code the scene, etc...
But the biggest problem isn't the time lost on it, noooo... It's the massive hit to my motivation. Why the fuck should I spend so much time and effort on it when there's a 50% chance it's going in the trash, due to the software crashes ? I finally made it, and had the BETA released, but man, this was awful... I need vacations... Thankfully, I might have found the origin of those crashes. If you remember, some time ago, for 0.13, I told you that the map file of the gallery was wiped out, as I it happened here with the Common Events. And that's why there was a break in the gallery update. Well, I think it's due to the size of the file tied to it. Since the gallery had so many scenes in it, it weighted more than 5MB (compared to the 100/250Kb of a standard map), and I think RPGM can't handle file this big. So my solution for that was to add most of those scene as a Common Event, and call upon it when needed. But then it's my Common Event file that's now too big, and suffered he same problem...
My buddy JimJim had a solution for it, though. Using another plugin, I can call an event from any maps, allowing me to make « templates » maps with the event coded there, and the gallery or Common Event calling from there instead of directly being hardcoded in them. And if this template map get too big, well, I can just do another one ! I've tried it, spread lot of code there, and for now it seems to be working, so we'll see how it goes. But man, hopefully I don't have to face this problems again... I don't want to spend my time fixing this fucking bugs and catching back what a crash made me loose. I just want to work on scene and dialogues...
Well, I hope it was understandable to you, else, sorry... Let's hope it'll be smoother for 0.16... Speaking of which !

Plans for 0.16 and beyond :
Now that 0.15 is almost there, let's talk about the plans for later ! Just, take into account that what I say here isn't set in stone, things might vary. Because it doesn't feel the best thing to add now, or I have another genius idea on the way, who knows ? But it's what feels good at the moment !
0.16 :
-Add pregnancy to all the other girls ! They deserve to bear childrens as well, after all !!! It'll include new alt version for them and the scenes they're featured in !
-Add a scene with Elleria and Lothar. As I was saying before, I really need to add it, she's been chilling around for long enough, she have a debt to pay !
-Maybe add more scene from the polls, depending on how much work it it -If all that seems too massive, I might split it in two smaller version, so I start getting back to a better release rythm !
-Maybe have some birth pictures, they'll be needed to wrap the pregnancy set.
I decided to drop the babies idea for the moment. I had a lot of cool ideas, but they required a looot of work, and I feel it's not a priority. It'll come back later, but first I want to add more content, like develop combat more, more mobs, and go to the secodn story arc ! I'll probably find a reason why the babies dissapear like that, but it's all they'll do for the moment !
0.17 and later :
-Work on the winner of the big feature poll of last year, which was to add more transformations, more mobs, and add much more to the fights. It's true that I've barely touched since it came out, so new mobs, new scenes and such are very needed !
-Open a new chapter of the story ! I've added a lot of side content, repeatable scenes and such, so it's a very good basis ! But now I need to get back to give the players a reason to go around the world and have fun ! Since I'll probably do quite a few new maps with new mobs and such, I'll see what are your reasons to go there, and do all that ! It's nice if there's more reason that « go there and collect wood ». We'll see what I'll do !
-Add more of the scenes from the polls, maybe even clearigng my to-do list xD And here you have it !!! The plan for the next versions ! I know it's pretty vague, but I don't want to plan things too much around, i'd rather focus on what coming very soon ! So I hope these plans are to your liking ! Of course, I'll probably add something here and there, you know me ^^'

Conclusion :
Well, it's been quite the read ! If you've been here all the way, well, congrats ! Thanks for taking your time to hear me ramble. I relaly appreciate it. I don't make these kind of big post often as they're honestly exhausting to make, but I'm happy it's done ! Remember that the full release should be there next week, and go public a week later ! After that, I'll take a break, work on commissions (oh yeah, I'm opening coms, contact me if you're interested!) and work on NTR Elf ! Plenty of cool things to look forward to ! So what more can I say ? Thanks for reading, thanks for supporting me, and thanks for enjoying my work. I'm always so happy when people come and tell me they enjoyed my game ! So hey, thanks for being there, and if remember to support your local lewd artist, we always need help ! See you soon with the full release, in the meantime, stay horny, stay awesome !!! Bye !
