RoP Update!
Version 4.69 contains an important bugfix (fixes a crash in chapter 2) but also contains a second pack-in mod. Mannizuna is not enabled by default but if you do enable it it adds a new costume for Izuna. You figure out what it is.
(Mediafire / Mega.nz) (It’s also on Itch.io and Steam)
I also updated the backend to make it much easier for mods to add new costumes. This mod is meant to serve as an introduction to people who want to make them.
There may yet be more minor updates if crashes or anything of the like is found. Right now things seem to be in a stable state.
Other Development
I am working on Ophiucus, making my way through the UI. I spent a lot longer than usual to make a fully general-purpose options menu that other games will be able to work off of, and more importantly, this UI is capable of supporting modded options. It will take a lot of work to backport it to the other games but hey, it’ll be pretty cool to be able to add new options from mods. I can also use it to allow easier access to debug options.
Yeah this is one of those “coder does something that only a coder might find interesting” things. I am hoping to have the UI finished up this week, then it’ll be off to work on the scenario. If I finish the coding before the art is ready (likely) then I can start on WoR while the artists catch up.

Xandra draws a concept of Izuna if she was a pathward instead of a miko.
And then she got flipped upside down for some reason.
This one I can’t explain.
