It's One Of These Days Again...
🕑 Added 2025-09-26 18:04:46 +0000 UTCGood evening,
The week is almost over again, and I figured I’d better write this report before it gets any later and my eyes give up on me.
As you might guess, I’m not super happy with how much I got done this week. The goal was to have the update ready by midweek, but here we are on Friday evening and I’m still not there yet.
So, what went wrong? As I mentioned on Discord earlier today, there are two main reasons:
First, writing both the code and the dialogues turned out to be more complex than I expected last week. I rewrote some dialogs multiple times because I just wasn’t satisfied with how they turned out. On top of that as I mentioned last week, these dialogue versions had to fit depending on the route: Chieftain, Chieftain with sharing, Katherin without intimacy yet, Dasan route… each needed its own branches, which added a lot of complexity and made the writing very difficult for me.
The second reason is that the more I thought about it, the less happy I was with how the hut part of the scene was set up (Quick reminder: I split the scene into two parts, one at the campfire and one inside the hut). In the end, I decided to expand the hut section, which meant I more than doubled the number of images for the bonus scene to allow for more interaction (I’ll keep this vague here to avoid spoilers, since I can’t hide text in these posts, but if you want the details, check Discord). This also now allowed for an option to sleep with Katherin alone inside the hut (before there were only images for the case that Tia was with you).
I’ve been at it all day and there’s still no real end in sight. It’s now 8 PM, and I’ll keep going until I’m too tired to work productively. Whether that’s enough to actually finish the scene tonight… we’ll see.
Writing this post isn’t easy for me, because I had hoped to be talking about completely different things this week, namely the Kirlic update. I really just want to get this bonus scene now wrapped up so I can clear my head again.
I hope again for your understanding, and I wish you all a nice weekend!

I think there's a problem with the scenes with Mira, after completing the monastery quest. After going to bed with Mira at Emily's house, the scene ends while the animations are still playing. It just froze and I had to reboot the game. It was playing the animations from the monastery with Mira.
