New Weekly Build: v0.147!

 Hey everyone!

This week's build is pretty lightweight, and it's uploading now. We just have some small graphical updates, tweaks and bug-fixes, all of which you can learn more about in the notes below. We've finally had a couple of weeks without any substantial bugs, which is a great sign. We're all polished and ready to get on with the fun parts.

What I'm working on now is adding a bunch of new title and animation improvements & diversity so more interiors and "clutter" feel unique instead of recycled, but I think it'll look good when it's done. Most of that will be seen next week.

After that, here's my sort of upcoming plan for the next couple of weeks/months:

1. Refine and flesh out the cove systems: morale, sustainability & health
2. Add new scene art & potentially replace old art that doesn't really fit in anymore
3. Experiment with ways to display NSFW scenes. Some games just have dialogue at the bottom while alternating pictures or whatever are taking up the majority of the screen real-estate, but that doesn't really work with long-form narration. We'll play around and see what looks good and is easily readable without squishing down the text box too much.
4. Adjust combat balance
5. ???
6. Launch 1.0 in stores???

Anyway, I'll see you all same time next week with a fresh new build.

Best,
Nym

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
