New Build: v0.27!

Image
Hi folks, got another juicy weekly build wrapped up for you last night, bringing us to version 27. It's hard to wrap my head around the fact that it's been 27 releases already, but here we are. The newest chapter, Esterholt, is going to be new territory for me (but not for Audrey), branching slightly into the realms of horror. That said, I'm excited to step outside my comfort zone and try new things. After all, that's sort of a major theme here in Daughter of Essence... You can see the patch notes here: Version 0.27 - 3/30/2018  Added Esterholt coat portraits  Added new NSFW scene (M/F, S&M, written)  Added a short cutscene on arrival to Esterholt  Populated Esterholt with new NPCs  Continued developing Esterholt map  Added Western Esterholt area  Added Eastern Esterholt area  Added Esterholt Manor 1st Floor  Added Esterholt Manor Basement  Added Esterholt Manor 2nd Floor (WIP)  Added buried treasure to Esterholt  Added lots of hidden ite

Hi, folks! We wrapped up version 0.26 yesterday, and since then, we've also prepped the latest alpha and public versions for release.

As always, you can find it at the top of our Patreon . It's all caught up again, and it will remain the latest public version until we've concluded the next chapter: Esterholt . Another sharp gear-change coming in this chapter, and we're excited about it. You can check the patch notes for version 0.26 below, or if you're coming from the previous public build, you can see the entire changelog here .

New Weekly Build: Version 0.25!

Hello, everyone! We just sent out the latest build, and as promised, we continued with the base-building upgrades and systems. I managed to get a LOT more done this week than projected, which means we're all ready to start the next chapter! We made huge strides forward with the essence station upgrades and added tons of new content for character builds: new weapon skills, new spells, runes, potions, even an all-new station. Another feature that I'm really excited about is a MUCH more informative equipment change scene, so you really how your stats are changing when you swap gear. This has been one of the biggest patches yet, but a lot of it will boil down to your cove upgrade choices so far. We hope you enjoy.   Version 0.25 - 3/16/2018  Added a new feature to show stat comparisons when changing gear in MUCH greater detail!  Added Wulfhilde’s night essence workshop!  Added 2 new night essence toys & accompanying written NSFW scenes  Added a new level 12

New Weekly & Alpha Builds!

Hi everyone! We managed to wrap the weekly and alpha builds up earlier in the day than usual, thanks to a surprisingly well-kept schedule this week. I set out to make this build focus primarily on revisions & improvements, and while I did revise a few things, it turned out that quite a lot was added, as well. The biggest labor of the week was visual changes to the cove upgrades.  Next week's focus will be adding new spells, weapon skills, runes, potions, and the final crafting station for essence of the night. After that... we begin the next chapter! Hope everyone's looking forward to seeing where we go next. The weekly version is 0.24, and the alpha is 0.23.1. I expect that a new public build will be coming in approximately two weeks' time, so non-patrons have that to look forward to as well. Version 0.24 - 3/9/2018  Added visual upgrade indications for tier 2 essence station upgrades!  Added cannons to the 2nd tier defense upgrade!  Added new &

New Weekly Build: v0.23!

Hey everyone! We released a new build last night (technically this morning): version 0.23. There are a lot of things packed into a very short segment of game here, and that's because it all hinges on choices made and paths taken this far. Things are actually starting to get a little out of hand in the cove in terms of complexity. Some NPCs have well over a dozen different pages of dialogue conditional to certain events. The next build (to be released on Fridays instead of Mondays going forward) is going to focus heavily on revision. I've been charging ahead so fast that some of the pieces holding different segments together are feeling thin right now. I want to start touching things up and polishing content to make the experience smooth, fun and intuitive. Anyway, here are the patch notes!   Version 0.23 (The End of the Witchdale Chapter!) - 3/2/2018  Added a new NSFW scene (written) on the ship (M/F, age difference)  Added a new NSFW scene (written and ill
