Game Update, some changes and Beyond Citadel Fan-Art
🕑 Added 2025-08-21 10:29:46 +0000 UTCHi Everyone,
Darthz here!
First off, I made some fan art for a game I recently played called Beyond Citadel. The character’s name is Martyr-chan, and I really recommend the game—it has amazing art, solid gameplay, and if you enjoy old-school shooters like Doom but with waifus(And some blood), you should definitely give it a try.
Now, onto updates about Whispers of the Dark Elf and my future projects:
1. Whispers of the Dark Elf – Ending
As many of you know, I decided to split the ending into two patches. Patch 1.7 will be released at the end of this month, featuring 4 scenes and an alternative ending. Then in September, I’ll release the final patch with 3 more scenes, the true ending, and another alternative ending.
I chose this approach because I wanted to expand the ending and add more depth, especially focusing on Sephira/Daisy on the last patch. I’m confident this will give the game the conclusion it deserves.
2. Name Change
I’ve decided to rename Whispers of the Dark Elf: Chapter 1 to Whispers of the Dark Elf: Prequel. The reason is simple—some people might think I plan to keep extending this story forever, but that was never my intention. From the start, I always planned to finish the story in two games.
3. Workflow & Posting
Lately, I’ve noticed my patches are getting bigger (4–5 scenes each), which takes more than a month to complete. I don’t want to disappoint anyone by making you wait too long, so after finishing this first game, I’ll return to smaller, quicker patches like before. That way, you’ll get to play more often instead of just looking at CGs.
On top of that, I plan to return to making some fan art and maybe even work a little more on Wives Falling Down.
Going forward, here’s how I’ll organize things:
Underground Boss tier → all main game patches.
Underground Grunt tier → fan art, CG sets, and other artwork.
I think this will make everything clearer and more organized.
4. Corruption of the Elven Wives
This will be work on this project again once I finish my main game. I might even create a fun CG scene for it as as next month who knows.
That’s it for now! Let me know your thoughts on the story so far and what you think about these changes. I’d really love to hear your feedback.
Thanks everyone!

Hey Dartz, it's been a while. Well, I think we all agree that you should take your time with the endgame. It's the end of one of your longest projects, and as such, we don't want to put pressure on you. We're very happy to see the progress and the end of your game. Maybe, as mentioned above about the events in the tavern, you can add it as a bonus in the future. A big Hilda fan here <3

I really want to make more fan art but I'm always super busy with my game and personal life, but I will try to find some time to make more fan art, I kind miss a bit making my sets

Great to see the update, and the name change makes sense. Though I do think since you give consistent updates the approach that you choose to releasing updates doesn't really matter since you have cultivated a great deal of trust. I think you should just take your time (especially with the finale to part 1) with your games and release updates when you feel ready instead of feeling like you must release something that you aren't 100% happy with. Also amazing fan art and will give Beyond Citadel a check out since I do love Doom. I remember the Zhu Yuan artwork you did last year when ZZZ came out, which as a ZZZ player and Zhu Yuan fan was great to see. I also think that the ZZZ character designs lend themselves extremely well to your art-style, so I look forward to see the fan arts of other characters that you find interesting.
