Hello! This is something of a landmark build, since it introduces an exciting (and big and complex) new feature AND is the next build that will be going public in two week's time (August 16th, mark it on your calendars). This release is, more or less, the conclusion of Chapter 8, though I'm sure I'll be tinkering away at it and continuing to polish as we go. To our weekly and alpha patrons: we hope you enjoy. To everyone else: we hope you'll look forward to the 16th and all the new content and improvements that it will bring.

Hi! This is a big release (for me, personally), because it fixes a number of major issues that have been plaguing development for months, and it opens up a lot of new options for me to experiment with improving combat. ALSO, I'm very pleased to finally introduce the official voice actress for Mercy, who will be narrating a number of scenes throughout the game, starting with the prologue. Please welcome the very talented Dorn on board! Beyond that, I've also added some new features this week: autosaves being chief among them (as an experiment), but also new keybind shortcuts in the form of B (for bag) and M (for map). No more digging through the inventory to find out where in the world you are anymore. There has also been a bit of sprucing up of old maps, with places like Shiveworth getting a bit of a facelift. Anyway, there's been a ton of little fixes and improvements, all of which are logged below. New alpha build next week! Until then. Version 0.85 - 5-24-...

Hi, everyone! This week's build, version 0.76, is the patron release of what will eventually become the next public build, which means it's not far off! This ALSO means the save compatible grace period is approaching its gruesome end. I expect support for old save files will end around after version 0.78, so apologies in advance for that. I'd like to take a little time this week to advertise some of our other outlets as well, especially since many people have an (understandable) aversion to Patreon's increasingly problematic business model. You can find us in a bunch of different places: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3xsrvi8aQM Twitter: https://twitter.com/IndoorMinotaur Itch.io: https://indoorminotaur.itch.io/daughter-of-essence Game Jolt: https://gamejolt.com/games/daughterofessence/336983 Discord: https://t.co/Ia3YoXhfdy And soon, we'll also be expanding our subscription service beyond Patreon to other comparable sites, as requested b...

Hi folks! I know I keep saying this, but we are extremely close to being finished with chapter six as of now. In fact, chapter six might already be finished, and we might be in chapter seven. I'm not sure yet. Everything's a little fuzzy in my mind right now, so I'll get back to you. That's exciting, because it means a new public build is nigh, and I'm going to be uploading it through the browser in a couple of places to see how that works. We'll also be doing a bit of cross-promotion soon with another project worth checking out, so keep your eyeballs peeled for that. Anyway, that's enough rambling. Hope our gunners and swashbucklers alike enjoy the build. Big thanks to Akira-Raikou for the Mercy art you see in the banner this week!
