Quick Coding and Such
The first “draft” of the combat part of the chapter 2 update is in my hands. I need to proofread it, finish some skills, and get a test build ready. And place like 500 patrols. Hoo boy.
In addition, Hund is almost done the maps for the new chapter. Koops has a few more portraits to do and we’re ready to go on the art front!
I will not elaborate on what this is.
DB_Palette From Downtown!
DB_Palette has made a third alternate dolls mod! It even has a toggleable nude version (check the east side of the village). This will get added to Steam this week as it’s not quite tested yet.
You can pick it up here! Report any bugs you find!
An update to PaletteForms with yet another new playable form is also on the way, I just haven’t had time to actually make it yet. I’ll try to have it ready next Monday.
Tales of Strings: Knighttime is Now on Itch and WeChange!
That’s right, vampire bats are invading Midvale and it’s up to the Knights of Justice to stem the tide. Is anyone gonna get bit? Yes! You’ll just have to read to find out!
You can get it on Itch.io or on WeChange.me! If you’re a patron with 10$ or more over the past few months, send me a DM on Patreon and I can hook you up with a free copy!
In addition, Three Short Steps is now also available on WeChange. It’s still free.
Can We Have The Ravenbrook Update Yet?
Inky is currently working on the Kickstarter-Exclusive goodies. The stickers are done, and she’s going to be working on wallpapers and posters and stuff soon. She wants to keep this under wraps though as it’s KS-only so I managed to talk her into letting me post a pissed-off Lore.
There is also a VERY cool advertisement/front-page poster in the works. I’m psyched!
I was also authorized to show you the mosquito nurse enemies! Dahlia doesn’t just have a mansion, gardens, and a lovely lakeside. She also has an asylum where these blood-suckers are waiting to see you. For medical reasons. You want to donate blood, right?
And here’s what Chris looks like if they get a bite! It itches at first but that goes away…
Koops is going to be working on these in the near future once the remaining Chapter 2 stuff is ready. Way to go, Koops! The enemy concepts are by Inky of course.
That’s all for this one, we’re still busting our humps to get the Chapter 2 update out so we can switch focus to WoR. Inky and Koops will be getting the art ready ahead of time. I am hoping in November to do a big “Salty Talks Game Design” post where I go into my plans for character building, threat management, and more.
