12/18 Status Update

After last week's short update, I have a lot more to say this week so buckle up. Let's start with TF Card Battle.

I'm planning to release a 1.12 update sometime in the next few days. This will be mostly bug fixes any big gameplay updates are still pending on the port. Speaking of the port, I haven't been working on it that hard but I'll have some kind of preview out relatively soon. 1.1 won't be the end for the HTML version, there will be some kind of 1.2 featuring changes that happen as I make the port. But from now on the Unity client should be the driver for the HTML one.

For Naked Ambition, I've started work on .6 and feel comfortable sharing exactly what's going to be in that. .6 is only three weeks long with each of those weeks being festival events. The first week is the Festival of the Moon which is similar to the Festival of Flowers as it's contest focused. There will be a special contest for each trainer as well as ones for the skills that weren't featured in the Festival of Flowers. The second week is another ball and this is the point in which what character the Princess ends up with is decided. If you've gone far down a trainer's route she'll default to them otherwise you'll be able to choose between any council member the Princess has two hearts with, Adelin if she has three hearts with him, the player character, or none of them.  

What character the Princess pairs off with decides the ending so this the point in the story where it really branches off. Speaking of endings, the third week of .6 is the Festival of the Sun where you'll find out what the end game crisis is. There are three possible climactic events that can happen as the final test of the Princess's abilities. There is a foreign invasion, a peasant uprising, and a demon incursion. Some routes will lock you onto one of these while others can have any of the three at random. For example, General Normand always has the foreign invasion endgame crisis while the Vizier can have any of them happen. .6 marks the end of the first act and the beginning of the second. This is the time in the game where you know what you'll need for the act three finale and can really start focusing on getting the Princess the skills and cards she needs to succeed.

So when is .6 coming out? Probably next month, but this update is different enough that I'm not sure exactly how long it will take to make. I plan on releasing some kind of preview this month though. This month had every game in a state that's not really conducive to test builds so sorry about that. Next month should have a lot more releases. There's no preview art today but art for Naked Ambition .6 shouldn't be too far away. 

That's all for this week as always thanks for your continued support.
