Development Update: November 27th, 2023

Coding and Art and Stuff

Remember last week when I said one TF was done? Well the other one is now. So that means it’s on to the third TF and the big new quest in chapter 1. But that’s not all: There will be some more combat improvements after I’m done the new quest. I could probably do a release in December, but I’m setting my target for January since I want to make sure this releases as bug-free as possible. After all, the goal of this update was to clean up the bugs and leftover issues that have been in chapter 1 for a long time.

Urimas has finished most of the needed sprites but Aquillia might finally be getting her long-overdue redesign so that will require even more sprites. You know how much he likes sprites, right? He loves them.

Koops is out of town for a while, so instead Giga is handling the Aquillia redesign (she looks great!). We’ve also got some new portraits for characters who were a little neglected before, for example, you can now meet up with Mycela after her quest and talk to her about mushraunes!

Ask not where the parasitic fungus came from, ask where she got that amazing outfit from.
We might also see some stuff from Wispy soon but it’s all chapter 2 so I’ll hold back on it for a while.

Witch Hunter Izana?

Don’t worry, I have not forgotten about Hard Mode. Depending on how things shake out, Hard Mode may come after the chapter 5 update (which is relatively brief, as it’s one TF and a new quest) or before. Either way, WHI’s update will also contain the new translation work (the translators reported they are about 40% done) as well as some bugfixes and possibly even some new stuff. As in, new characters, enemies, and/or quests! I won’t promise anything just yet, though. The new update will also benefit from all the changes to chapter 1 such as the new stamina meter and many code modernizations.

Fan Art!

My god do I love puppet TF. cough It’s Christine and Night turned into puppets! By Miraimiru! I love it!

And here we have some kitsunes turned into WHI-themed vampires by Toui! I have a bunch more art to go through but I’ll wait until next week because it’s really good and I don’t want to take away from the other art which is also really good.

I regret that I have but one blogpost (per week) to give for my fan’s art.

Curious IT’S NIKO AGAIN HA HA HA
