Progress report for 0.4 and news about 0.5
Added 2017-12-21 15:53:07 +0000 UTCHello everyone! As we are about to head into the most festive part of the year, it's time to give you all an update about my progress on version 0.4 and what I'm planning as we move ahead with future releases. As a little Christmas present from me, please enjoy the above preview of Nell (right-click and save the image to see it in its full glory), one of the two new girls being introduced in 0.4. She is a young squire, serving under the knight Samarra, and has recently reached adulthood. She is now facing the prospect of becoming a true knight herself. In the middle of all this, she carries with her a secret that could disrupt the carefully nurtured peace between the races of the world, and she poses a significant threat to both the protagonist and to Belle. Is she friend or foe? Only time will tell.
Now then, let's talk about development progress. To make a long story short, there's so much content I want to add for Samarra and Nell that I've started to realize that there's no way for me to do them justice with just version 0.4 alone. Nor could I possibly finish all their basic content in the time left to me this month. As such, I've decided that the best approach is to keep working on those two girls for 0.5 as well, both finishing up and polishing their content to at least match, but more likely exceed, what is there for the existing girls.
0.4 will contain a bunch of juicy scenes as well as the beginning of the agility training route. I will do my best to extend previous scenes that rely on agility so that we can see more of them, but how far I get with this depends on how much time I have left over, if any. 0.5 should expand upon all aspects of Samarra and Nell, especially when it comes to their personal stories and the secrets they hide.
I have almost finished Nell's content for this version, while much of Samarra's is missing. I definitely have my work cut out for me until the end of this year. Even as I write this, 0.4 contains more images than 0.3 ever did, and I'm far from done.
Anyway, that's all for me right now. I need to get back to work. Do you have any thoughts about the game and its progression? Let me know in the comments below.

On the contrary, NG+ is part of the core design of the game mechanics. It mostly comes from one of the primary inspirations, Persona. Those games feature NG+ where you get to keep your stats. Long Live the Princess is a free roam sandbox right now, but it will feature a time limit (though a generous one) after a while. NG+ will give you a lot more time to deal with the limit (as well as some other surprises that we'll talk about some other time).
2017-12-21 22:05:18 +0000 UTCThis is a free roam sandbox game no Ng+ needed
2017-12-21 22:01:25 +0000 UTCThere is no NG+ yet, and there probably won't be until there is a proper end to the game. It's more of a hint about the future of Long Live the Princess at this point.

2017-12-21 18:17:24 +0000 UTCI'm not sure I understand your question here. Are you asking about New Game+?
2017-12-21 17:48:53 +0000 UTCNice, but I wonder how end story and begin new story
