New Weekly & Alpha Build! v0.12



Hi everyone! It's been a rough week for Patreon, I think, and for many of us using it. They made a few cash-grab policy changes that affect a lot of people, and some have abandoned the platform altogether.

We lost a few patrons as well, which is saddening, but we understand. In particular, the changes hit the smallest and largest pledges on Patreon hardest. The smallest on account of the flat fee, and the largest on account of the percentage.

So, to help soften the blow for our Swashbuckler friends, we're doing a special one-time alpha bump and releasing the weekly build and the alpha versions simultaneously!

Also, for our Old Salt patrons and higher, we've got an extra gift included here for you.

Gunners: keep an eye out for next week! It's going to be one hell of a patch before the holidays. You won't be forgotten.

Thank you to everyone who's sticking around, to our new members, and we hope to make it worthwhile! We're testing now and uploading soon. Patch notes below--

New Release: version 0.165!

Image
Hey folks, sending out a new release to the world, even if it's not a huge one. This week has largely been a flurry of activity, not least of which the Steam Store ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/1517470/Daughter_of_Essence/ ) (now live), the website ( https://indoorminotaur.wixsite.com/home ) (now also live) and the Patreon page (which was locked for having "implied nudity" on public posts but is now restored after a number of edits were made).  I think there are something like 76 attainable members of the cove now (though not all attainable in the same playthrough), which is ludicrous when I think of how much work goes into adding just 1 person to that whole complex operation. The latest member, Tom, is cool, but there's still more I want to write up on this particular character, so expect to see more of him next week. Anyway, did I mention the release date is set?! March 12th. Keep your eye on the prize. Also be sure to add our game to the wishlist on Steam. U
