Transylvania v0.5.07: Silk and Midnight, pt1
🕑 Added 2024-07-31 19:42:58 +0000 UTCHey guys,
It's the end of the month again, and another update is here! At last, we've began putting Chapter 1 behind us (although this update brings a few finishing touches) and approaching the big task of overhauling Chapter 2 and brining it up to par.
--------------FIRST, A FEW THOUGHTS ON OUR DIRECTION IN CHAPTER 2---------------
In our recent survey we asked you a bunch of things, and the results seem conclusive - over 60% of you wish a comprehensive, in-depth overhaul of Chapter 2. Frankly I couldn't agree more - with the last 6 months spent on polishing CH1, currently CH2 is the oldest part of the game, with a lot of code and features that need love, as well as generally more content.
Rest assured, we will do our best to take it to where it needs to be! Based on community feedback, as well as our own judgement, the biggest focus will be more attention to the succubus transformation + character relationships. We hope to take the newly seeded developments from CH1 and allow you to continue to explore your favorite dynamics ;)
---------------WHAT IS THIS PATCH BRINGING?--------------------------------------------
We are happy to say that a lot of things are coming together! The big meal of the day is an animated interactive scene with our favorite cat in the jaws of a cruel fate - one which offers new choices to explore! This very special scene is an artistic fusion of a base version that was drawn some time ago by Lornlover, and was now animated by CrimsonMel. The results are pretty incredible and I'm sure you all will love them!
Speaking of Lornlover - you will be happy to hear that the (former) official artist has decided to resume ties with the project, and will be doing pieces based on personal availability. I am delighted to show you his new portrait of Felicia that you can discover in CH2 this update!
There is equally a new interactive piece by Dax, featuring an interactive dream about Elise, in the night between CH1/2.
As you can see, the art department has been very busy, and we hope to continue bringing you our best. Without further ado, full notes:

I'll eventually loop back to adding even more side content to CH1, but not before reworking Ch2 and doing more endings in Ch3. So it will be a while.

When Felicia first explains how the beads on the necklace work, she mentions if you (Alex) isn't up to it, she can always drop you in the basement of the Inn and you'll be full up in no time. Any chance that scene or a version of that gets written? I think the closest we have is the Inn scene in chapter 2 I'm not sure still exploring the game.
