Last Steps To 0.6.1.5

Added 2025-12-05 15:37:17 +0000 UTC

Good afternoon,

This week has flown by once again, but unlike the previous one I actually managed to get a lot done and the update is now within reach.

I started the week by further adjusting the dialogues for the case where the player takes the alternative route to reach the Old Boar Inn. While doing so, I also rewrote parts of that first visit to the inn and added an additional event, which I will not spoil here.
I also created several new sprites, since for example it must be possible to complete Carmens quest even when the wagon is not present (there is a part where you take Carmen with you in your wagon). In that case, the MC can now take Carmen with him on his horse.
At this point also thanks for the provided saves from some of you, that made my first testruns a lot easier and I was able to check if the new route now properly works.

I also made sprites for Bjorn driving his wagon with the MC riding along.
After that, I worked out how to handle the transition scenes for this and implemented the journey to Kirlic together with Bjorn.

On top of that, I introduced Tessa, wrote her first dialogues, and created a few initial images for her. There is no scene with her yet, but I am considering adding one for her in the 0.6.2.0 update.

What's still missing is Roses introduction in Kirlic and giving the MC the option to spend the night at the Golden Goose. And yes, I am aware of the time and the fact that I wanted to finish the 0.6.1.5 update this week.
For that reason I don't want to delay the release to sometime next week again. I have decided to work through the weekend to reach my goal after all. I hope to have everything finished by Sunday evening at the latest (fingers crossed).

A small note on the side: I was not really able to reply to messages this week because my internet went out in the middle of the week (provider had trouble with a main cable being cut on accident during construction work). It has been working again for about half an hour now, and I will try to catch up on messages next week once the update is finished.

Alright, that was enough of a break.
I will get back to work now and wish you all a nice weekend.
