Progress Report
Added 2019-10-12 09:23:12 +0000 UTCHave you played version 0.25.0 yet? If you have, you will probably realize by now that Nell is the focus of the upcoming version 0.26. You have some news to bring her, and who knows how she will react to them?
Unlike last month, no sex scene is "required" for the primary path this time. This means that all my focus in the first part of October will be on dialogue, puzzles, and story events. If I still have time over after that, I'll try to add some sexual content, but it's not the priority this time.
Among other things, it looks like 0.26 will contain the biggest secret in terms of the number of questions asked of you while solving it, though not by a wide margin. It also looks like this might be the first time where I'm going to have to retroactively add a clue to existing saves because I forgot to add it when the clue was actually introduced. I have been expecting this to happen for a long time. That it took this long for it to occur is a little miracle. I might still find some other way to get around the problem, but I don't think I will.
While I don't want to reveal what's going to happen in this update in any detail, I'll give you a warning right now: Things are going to change after this, and scenes and content that was previously freely available may go away once you finish the new events in 0.26. Make sure you finish everything you want to see for Samarra, Nell, and the Fairy Queen. It might be your last chance (in that particular save) for a while.
I have seen a lot of speculation about what will happen with Nell and the Fairy Queen, and a select few of you have been very close to the mark. It has been fun to read everyone's theories.
Until next time!

To a certain degree, sure. :)
2019-10-16 04:15:40 +0000 UTCConsidering what happened in 0.25, I expect what happens to Nell in 0.26 will largely be up to us.

2019-10-14 17:02:10 +0000 UTCAs far as developing relationships in "this kind of game" I'd say you may just be self-limiting. In the end though if the priority happens to be an escapist sex-clicker that's fine too. I've found myself daydreaming while playing this how it might read/present if it had a bunch of meat in the middle everywhere. But I don't think that's what this audience wants per se.

2019-10-14 05:25:31 +0000 UTCNell Update = <3 :D Nell Update without sex = ._. I still hope somehow for some great scenes And I keep my fingers crossed that Nell is doing well. Somehow I have the feeling that something terrible is going to happen to Nell.

2019-10-12 19:34:15 +0000 UTCWell if I can suggest a sexy scene, I have always been wondering what nuns are using the church's candles for, if you get my drift. 'nuff for today, I don't want to bother you more.

2019-10-12 12:19:12 +0000 UTCIt was more of a rhetorical question anyway. Meaning to say I wonder what's in store for Agnes, but I don't necessarily want to know it already.

2019-10-12 12:10:43 +0000 UTCI have big plans for Agnes, but they're not going to bear fruit until after the main storyline is done. I wish I could talk about it, but I think it's best to keep a few surprises close to my chest right now so that we don't get to a point, before I'm done with the game, where nothing is delightfully surprising anymore.
2019-10-12 12:07:51 +0000 UTCI wonder what you have in store with Agnes. Her appearance in the game was rather brief so far. Of course it would be nice to see Callie get together with her and be happy, but then again Agnes didn't even seem to be Lesbian. Uh-oh. I guess you'll develop this further after the main quest is done with?

2019-10-12 12:02:59 +0000 UTCWell, there is no girlfriend option there yet, and you may notice that she's probably the hardest girl in the game to get to bed. We don't have the luxury of developing a relationship over multiple years in a game like this, but it's been stretched out as long as it can.
2019-10-12 11:23:36 +0000 UTCBy the way, I like how you handled the delicate matter of Callie's sexual conversion. I didn't even try the girlfriend option, though, because I feel that it's just not believable. As I told you earlier this year, psychological attraction needs to develop over puberty and adolescence. So while the sexual switch may work rather instantly (although even that is quite an assumption), the will to romance someone whose type/gender you didn't even consider before needs time to develop. So I am really sceptical towards the girlfriend option. Although I do like Callie, a lot.

2019-10-12 11:19:26 +0000 UTCWell, as long as I can marry Nell and live happily ever af ... wait, can I? Oh, this is unsettling, everything hangs in the balance. The number of unresolved secrets in your game is staggering. Just to pick a random one, why does the Crone know Thaddeus? And we haven't even met the princess yet. Most of all, we have no idea what the forces are that work in the background. The fairy queen speaks of our potential doom ... but by whom?
