New Roya stuff! On the Charlotte corruption side, I only managed to progress by one Lady Charlotte scene, but that one new scene a has a ton of subscenes, giving it an overall word count of nearly 5k x_X
Partially because it contains the usual back and forth before a vice choice, a vice choice, a date and then the actual lewd scene. And partially because --
-- Guest appearances! Both Hermann and Rosemond make a small return in this little party scene that is conceptually a combination of the Hermann Councillor Election event and the Marriage event. Why? Well, I leave that for the player to find out. :)
Anyways, so Hermann and Rosemond make a little guest appearance and have different sub dialogues depending on your world state. If Aura married Hermann, Charlotte will be angry at him for cheating on Aura, if you have done Homewrecking, Nadia will join alongside Rosemond. And depending on how you did Homewrecking, Nadia will have a different mood.
The Hermann marriage variation is pretty short as I had to move on from having spent quite a bit of time on this, but I hope it gives a little bit callback to the older content.
Then, we have quite a couple of items on the artistic side, both on the pixel art side and on the H-CG side. I posted earlier about the new H-CG variations for lewd streaming which got integrated today. Also, for those who already read them, there is just a little bit of new content that I added where Aura does some extra comparisons between Richard and George (George of course drawing the shorter stick, haha). The advantage of using the same base CG allows me to do some minor tricks like putting the George variation besides Richard's which I worked in today.
And then on the pixel art side, our pixel artist Amysaurus finished her batch for ths month. On the one hand, we have the new uniforms for Aura, Rose, and Laura that now match their 2D artwork. And on the other hand, Luciella no longer uses the default RPGMaker sprite for the Harpy enemy. lol
And then finally, our assistant developer Trihan has pushed further on the Demon-crazy quest, working mostly on the corruption and electioneering events to shift support in favor of Liliana or Shadow. I have yet to test play the new content here myself, so I don't have a lot to write about.
Aaaand that's it for the week! For next week, we have a little polish week where I want to work mostly on some smaller improvements that have been sitting in my pipeline because I'm always so busy on pushing the main content, giving our freelancers a bit space to catch up.
Ah right, also our 2D artist will be next working on the Dark Star Knightess costume, the form Aura will take in the corruption ending. Also, since we are quite a bit ahead again of the H-CG pipeline, I will be doing another H-CG poll starting at the weekend or so in order to get some input in which order we want to tackle the remaining scenes.
Then, until then and as usual the full changelog including the public patch release below.
