Member Test Build Announcement 16.08.2024
🕑 Added 2024-08-16 09:09:58 +0000 UTCHello everyone,
The August member-tier testing build is almost ready!
Story:
Regarding quests, Apoc and the Lake Village had lots of their quests iterated. The main goal was to strengthen the character motivation for complex quests like 'Market Rivalry' and 'Kumaan's Spear', while also making them feel less convoluted and have better player guidance. Also, several Lake Village side quests have been integrated into the main quest to make sure the player has a main quest marker at all times.
Combat:
While the combat is progressing quite well behind the scenes, we would rather polish it some more before showing it to you. We have also decided it would be best to release the combat together in one package with the actual enemies placed on the worldmap, rather than in a separate greybox test level as before, so as to make for a bigger, more complete content update at a later date.
Level:
We've made progress on several areas, including major locations, mini-locations, and a new dungeon. Yterra has now reached the finalized blockout B stage and mini-locations have undergone their next iteration with 23 caves ready for exploration.
Sandbox:
The biggest new feature here is the Character switcher - Characters in the scene can now be freely assigned to sex scenes and poses (and also removed from them again), which finally makes it very simple to use your custom characters everywhere.
Advanced bone-controller UI, allows you to more comfortably manage bone-control objects like bulk-editing, bulk-adding and baking down.
Story mode information:
The story implementations have entered spoiler territory so we have included warnings at key dialogue options.
Quick reminder for our member-tier and above patrons, if you want to have your name in the credits, please comment on this post.

Fianlly got to it. First, thanks for the map that helps traveling with locatons much easier. As sson as I opned, I was stunned by how mucht he landscape and ship at the camp changed. Liking what i see already, including the new things noticed there. I did notice the geography cahnges around the fishing village. Sadly I couldn't find any of the caves but the expansion done on desert ship and lizard city; wonderful work. Now with the new characters, I was not expecting Andorin to have the outfits he did but very much needed. Zorn is new to me, like his outfit for certain (Default one). Now Maya, most outfits work for her but biased here cause main character. Did al her new clothing pop out at me? Only fishing village but the others work in their own way. Jenny rocks the fishing village but blew it out of the park with the chinese dress. Oh my god then Zuri looks so good, my cheetah love, in her new outfits, thank you so much for finally giving her some new threads. And the same can be said for all the other kerpali ladies.
