Hi all, a quick 0.4 status report and news about a Christmas version.
I'm starting to wrap version 0.4 up. The quest is ready and was already QAed (tester said it's the best quest so far!) and now I am working on the Fahda (the money lender) revisit and queen Sumia (image enclosed) flow.
My (intentionally pessimist) spreadsheet predicts that the full version will be ready by January 11th but I want to give the 10$+ Subscribestar backers who wish to play an early version for Christmas the option to do so. This partial Christmas version will be made available to 10$+ backers before Christmas, hopefully on December 24th.
This Christmas version will not have Karder in Santa Claus outfit or any other Christmas related naughtiness, but will feature the whole Hawatia quest and one queen Sumia flow (Dominance). After releasing this partial update, I'll fill the last gaps (Fahda, queen Sumia Seduction flow) and start rolling out the version by tiers (stating probably on January 11th) until I make it public.
Infrastructure wise, I did not make dramatic changes but 0.4 will feature a chicken icon for those who feel overwhelmed by the 1 on 1 combat. Clicking it will automatically win the duel, Subduing the opponent if possible. Along with VN Mode introduced in 0.3.16, those who absolutely hate all the gaming elements will have an even smoother sail. Your loss
As you Khaganate grows, it becomes harder to remember which fiefdoms are under your control: another feature in 0.4 will show you the fiefdoms under your control in a uniform color.
