Desert Stalker

Here's something different! While I’m still busy with the main quest, I’ve decided to introduce the Temple of the Revered Mothers into the game.

Remember the priestess from when you showed Kateryna the city? You’ll eventually be able to pay her a visit — but not only her. It’s one of the privileges of being a city-sponsored Desert Stalker. I’m working on creating a simple and quick introduction to the place, as well as a function that allows you to visit it repeatedly. There will be no strings attached: no commitment to a side quest on your part, and no special character requirements — not even Kateryna. Though she might be curious to see the temple herself one day.

I can’t yet say how many Revered Mothers - or soon-to-be Mothers - you’ll be able to visit in version 0.20, but at least one of them will invite you into her room and dedicate herself once again to the repopulation of the only jewel of the post-apocalyptic desert... one baby at a time.

Render progress:
- Elder's Quest pt.2: 20%
- Temple: 10%

Basement:
- Ain: 65%

Other:
Script writing: 8%
Animations: 15%

(Note: I use percentages as a sort of progress through the scene script itself. The last 5% can take longer than the first 30% - it is not always proportional to the render amount.)
