New Public Build: Chapter VI

The time has come!

Version v0.60.1 is officially live and available to the public on both Windows and Mac, adding the latest chapter and all the bug fixes and general improvements that come with it. You can download it here: https://www.patreon.com/indoorminotaur.

So, what exactly is new? You can see the entire change log here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_LL ... sp=sharing, but for the (very) abbreviated list:

Extended the main story line by several hours
You can ride Orus around outside for increased speed
You can now mine silver & gold around the world and use it to craft jewelry if your forge is upgraded
Added eight new written NSFW scenes
Added and revised new portraits and illustrations
Added new skill and spellbooks to the game
Performance optimizations
Balance adjustments
Lots and lots of bug fixes

Q. Will my old save version work?
- A. Yes, but you may experience some bugs--especially visual. Save often and proceed at your own risk!

Q. I found a bug! Where do I report it?
- A. You can reply to this post or post in our public Discord's designated bug report channel.

Q. How do I know when the build ends? (Spoilers)
- A. Chapter VI ends once Mercy returns to the cove from Witchdale.

Thanks for playing, and if you enjoy the game, spread the word & consider becoming a patron!

New Weekly Build: v0.63!

Hi folks, we're back with another build this week--the last one before all the holiday madness! Builds WILL resume over the holidays, so you'll have plenty to do through the new year.

Chapter 7 is well under way, and we're beginning work on an entirely new continent: Grey Clarion, home of the nomadic and isolated harps.

This week's build gets a lot of new things started, but it also goes back and adds some nice touches to the debug room (accessible to Old Salt patrons and above), something we've been neglecting for a little while. Now you'll be able to unlock every scene in the game, even if you didn't choose a certain path or don't have certain characters unlocked, etc.

New to the game? You can download the public build or become a patron at https://www.patreon.com/indoorminotaur.

Until next time, we hope you enjoy!

Best,

Nym

New Weekly Build & Art Announcement

The patch notes for the latest weekly build are below, and we're happy to say that they are cool and good, but we have an even more important announcement to make.

We have decided to bring an artist onto our team, so for the last two weeks, we've been in long and sometimes excruciating talks with dozens of qualified people, trying to find someone who is the right combination of available, talented, affordable and invested in the project, which is a sort of modern holy grail of attributes.

That said, we have made some progress. Not so much progress that we can announce a name and a time, but enough that we feel confident in announcing that our search is fully under way and that we've narrowed it down to a few potentials.

That said, nothing is set in stone, and if you know someone who you feel is right for the job, now is a very good time to pass that information along.

Version 0.66 - 1-11-2019
Added a new cove event in Ch. 7
Added a new toy to Wulfhilde’s tier 3 workshop: The Cathedral
Added a new NSFW scene (solo F, toy)
Added new lines of dialogue to everyone in the cove
Added a new illustration to the Sparkling Plug scene
Added rooms to the second floor of the cove dormitories
There is now a new, duplicate cove area that players switch to after Ch. 7
(This was necessary because events have a 20 page cap, and this cap had been exceeded on a growing number of NPCs. Now I can start fresh and help keep organized.)
There is also a new duplicate cove tavern
The first cove upgrade now correctly costs funds from Mercy’s stash
Upgrading the throne room now correctly costs funds
Updated the scene library with all recent scenes
Fixed an issue where cove images could overlay during cutscenes
Fixed an issue where combat read “she could not escape” even when controlling Marlan
Fixed a number of typos and text alignment issues
Fixed some misaligned item sprites

New Weekly Build: v0.67!

Another week, another update to Daughter of Essence for our patrons!

This one packs in a lot of new content in the cove, including tons of new character dialogue and a lot of that big, juicy story progression we've been building up to for a couple of updates.

It's been fun fleshing out the characters at home, so to speak, and there's plenty more where that came from in the future.

If you would like to become a patron or try out the public build, please visit https://www.patreon.com/indoorminotaur.

On the artist front, we've tentatively narrowed our focus down to one very promising candidate, and we'll update you as soon as everything's official. Let me just say... Audrey and I are very excited and optimistic about the future.

That's it for me tonight--see you soon!

New Build: v0.68!

Hey folks, just wrapped up the latest weekly build, which takes the big leap of expanding the world east, in preparation for the next big adventure.

As I might have mentioned already, we've also settled on a long-term artist (whose work is featured above), and we'll get around to making introductions once everything is finalized.

It's going to be good. At least, I'm pretty sure it's going to be good. I'm like 94% positive that it's going to be good, and those are the kinds of odds I like to bet on. Daughter of Essence has come a long way since we launched this Patreon, and the game has nowhere to go but up from here. And that's damn well where we plan on taking it.

New Weekly Build, Version 0.70!

Here's the latest weekly build, in all its Frankenstein glory.

I worked on a lot of different bits and pieces this week, some of which weren't finished in time for version 0.70, so there are a few placeholders in there for now. Thus is the life of a dev who puts out a build every week, though, so y'all are used to that by now.

Even considering the works in progress, it's still a nice little build with some very oft-requested "features" snuck in there. It's a bit of a secret scene for now, so I won't spoil the fun.

New Weekly Build: v0.72!

Hi everyone, hope you're well and excited for the weekend. As is our custom, we have some CHOICE entertainment options you might consider integrating into your weekend activity list.

The art in our header is courtesy of Indoor Minotaur's newly contracted artist-in-resident, Numinox. We hope you like it, because there'll be plenty more where that came from going forward.

Next week, I'll be taking a little break from advancing the primary narrative to start tackling more SIDE-QUESTS and optional or secret content. This kind of stuff really gets me going, so I'm excited about it and hope you are as well.
