New Weekly & Alpha: v0.116!

Hi everyone!

Last week, I mentioned we would start tying off loose ends this week, and that's what I've been working on.

We have a lot of returning old faces you can touch base with again, many of whom can be recruited depending on your choices up to now. Next week there will be more of the same, with Chapter 9 will be wrapping up very soon. Then I'll be getting started on the "final" chapter!

Which means... it's just about time for a new public release! I'll be posting more details about that soon, but you should expect it coming before the month is over.

As always the public release will be available at https://www.patreon.com/indoorminotaur

As always, thanks for checking us out and we hope you enjoy the new content.

Best,

Nym

New Release: v0.117!

Hi everyone!

Version 0.117 is available to both weekly and alpha patrons! This is primarily because version 0.116 will be going public NEXT FRIDAY, and I want to make sure all patron builds stay ahead of it.

But beyond that, just the nature of the build's content, the amount of fixes from last week, and the additional testing I'd like to get done before it all goes public just warrants an extra alpha release.

Hope you enjoy!

PUBLIC RELEASE: CH. IX

Chapter IX is the penultimate chapter, as far as I'm able to tell.

Version 0.118 - 1-24-2020
Depending on your actions until now and a number of different variables, the amount of reinforcements from Mar’Liore will vary drastically. The results of all that is finally tallied, though not all of it will be revealed immediately.

It is no longer required to have met with Mirelinda Kreel in Carvannah in order to do the Flame Temple quest in Ch. IX (WIP - some of the dialogue may still suggest a prior meeting)

Fixed some typos

New Release: v0.120!

Hey everyone, thanks again for helping the new public release go smoothly and for everyone who came to the discord to help report issues.

We're looking really clean and stable right now, and I'm feeling good about the latest releases, which is great because all that smooth sailing is about to CRASH AND BURN, starting next week.

Because, folks.... we're finally here. The big moment of truth. The ultimate showdown (of ultimate destiny). Everything that you've been building towards is all preparing to converge right now, and it is not going to be a smooth process with easy-to-release builds in between.

I'm going to keep my head down for now and keep grinding just to see where we end up next week, but something tells me it might not be worth releasing until it's all playable.

On the other hand, it's probably going to need a lot of playtesting. We'll just have to see where I'm at with it all as we go and play it by ear.

Whatever happens... thanks for hanging in there.

As for the release right this moment, I'm giving you everything that's functional, just before the shit all hits the fan. There are some nice new features baked into this build that I think will make a lot of people happy.

Version 0.120 - 2-7-2020
Added a new boss encounter
Added a new side-quest (contingent on your choices so far)
You can now skip right to Mercy room or Beatrix’s office from the Dorms entrance (and visiting Beatrix heals you automatically)
You can now interact with the bed in Beatrix’s office, and Beatrix will heal your injuries.
Added more new dialogue to the cove
Fixed an issue where Beatrix could appear in Ch. IX even if she had died in the siege
Fixed some passability issues
Fixed an issue where Captain Bell could remain in the cove after leaving for Emerald Flats

New Weekly & Alpha Release: v0.121!

Hey everyone!

This has been an excruciatingly time-consuming and complicated build to get out, but I'm very pleased to announce that the hard part is finally over and we're back to the more exciting stuff!

The new system developed for assigning units during the coming battle is vastly more sophisticated than the iteration from the previous siege, to say nothing of the fact that there are twice as many people now, so development on that created a lot of new challenges. I hope it works well, and I hope people don't find it too laborious to assign so many different roles, haha.

Aside from the big system implementation, we also wrapped up a few important plot-points and had time to squeeze in a brand new sex scene.

Next week's build is going to be all about diving into battle... so I hope everyone's ready!

Version 0.121 - 2-21-2020

Added a new meeting sequence where the cove gathers to go over the battle plans
Added a new cutscene with Holden’s arrival
Added the Esterholt hunters to the cove (if recruited)
Added Mirelinda Kreel to the cove (if recruited)
Added the unit assignment system for the final battle, allowing Mercy to assign everyone in the cove a role, as well as the reinforcements, however desired. The scores are calculated now but won’t be revealed until later
Fixed an issue where skipping the first chapter could result in a soft-lock later on
Fixed some Orus-overlap issues

New Release: v0.122!

Hey folks, this week we got a lot of new cutscenes with multiple branching paths wrapped up, and I plan to flesh them out a little further next week.

Also added the big packed-up final cove area, you'll be able to chat with everyone in the cove one last time before the big day, and in a lot of cases, get a bunch of new backstory on your fellow residents.

This is a WIP for now, going to take a whole lot of work to squeeze everyone in now that there are something like 80 possible members.

Anyway, thanks for playing and thanks for your support. Enjoy!

New Release: v0.123! Whoa!

Hey everyone!

We've got another new weekly build for you, this time with a comfortable blend of secret, invisible math and much more interesting, perfectly visible new character dialogue.

The cove is a crowded place now, and adding everyone in to the new areas and giving so many characters the chance to go deeper into their backstories was fun and rewarding, but also time-consuming!

Not much to say about the build beyond that. Things are shaping up, and we're chipping away at the big pieces little by little.

Thanks for the support!

New Release: Version 0.124!!!

Hey everyone! We're back again with a cool new release, featuring a surprise new WIP area I'm excited to share.

It's been a lot of work on sprites and tiles this week for the mapping, but I mostly like how it came out in the end and I'm excited to keep building on this area further, since it's interesting and reveals a lot of new lore.

We'll be back next week, so stay safe in the meantime, hunker down with Daughter of Essence, and for God's sake, wash your hands often and thoroughly.
