New Weekly & Alpha Build: v0.129!


Hi everyone, I am pleased to report some improvement in my condition this week, accompanied by some blessed progress on the various branching paths that make up the game's "endings."

Presently, there are 7 different major divergences after the siege, most of which lead to an earlier conclusion to the journey than some of the other, more "successful" routes. Within some of these 7 paths is an impossibly large number of more subtle variants based on your choices over the course of the game and your level of preparedness for the battle.

There's a lot of content packed in here, but the caveat to all this exciting news is... most of you will never see 95% of it. After all, you can only experience one single outcome at a time!

Making so many branching outcomes is time-consuming business, and coupled with serious illness, it's been a hell of a month for development.

One more thing I will say, for those of you who are starting to worry: the game's not over yet. For the more thorough and better prepared among, there's still a whole chapter awaiting. Now that so many of these loose ends are getting tied up, it's finally about time to get back on track, and I'm looking forward to it.

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
