Progress 18.10.2024

Hello all!

Rendering is going smoothly enough, so far anyway. I'm roughly where I'm supposed to be, but still some ways to go.

Writing is eh, it's going. Again, it's not a thing I'm worried as is, just trying to figure out is the right spots for the events, is it now or after next "big adventure". And that brings me to the choices in update 0.26.0. There are choice in it, but... some of them are hidden behind things you have chosen before or haven't chosen.

For example, relatively mild spoiler by the way, providing a certain potion for the Empire. First notifying its existence happened in update 0.23.0 (to the Seeker). In 0.25.0, you were able to offer it to the Empire. Now in 0.26.0 it comes up again, potentially, and assuming you knew about it. If you didn't offer it to the Emperor, you can offer it to the Academy. Each of these choices affects two things, first one is the "fate of the Empire"-plotline, second is more personal. Depending on the choice combination, everything can be good, "neutral" or bad, both personally and for the Empire. So depending on the choices, there is something you need to think carefully in the future... So anyway, you might encounter 2 or up to 4 choices in the update, depending on the things you've done in the past.

And a small preview of things. 0.25.0 featured the Emperor for a large portion of the update, on 0.26.0 it is the Empress. Although there is one slightly questionable design choice during the update, but frankly it's because I'm not too keen on fighting dForce for several hours to get things right. And... I know some of the things aren't exactly right aesthetically. But it is fantasy setting and there is some room to play with things. Some will have explanation in game, like certain name that pops up during this update. So to anyone who it might seem off the explanation will come in a few updates. Not sure was it in 0.27.0 or 0.28.0.

And then there is this... I'm not entirely sure why I made this, but it was one of those things that needed to be made. Eh still related and kind of interesting in a sense. Anyway, have a great weekend you all!
