The Road to 0.4
Added 2017-12-04 17:39:22 +0000 UTCHello again, Patrons!
I feel like we have now passed a significant milestone. Version 0.3 of Long Live the Princess represented the last piece of basic "foundation" needed to make the beginning of the game work. From now on, adding new content should be more straightforward and efficient.
Having said that, certain things need to be done before I am entirely free to add any content I (or you) wish. One of these things is to include the oft-requested agility training. This has been in the plans for 0.4 since the start, and this month is when it finally gets implemented. The reason it has taken a while to get to this point is that agility training requires the presence of two characters that you haven't met in the game yet. I will talk more about them later this month (and share some previews with the $20 patrons, who I have neglected for too long). For now, I will give you only the tiniest of teasers: Their names and a small hint about their roles.
The two new girls to be added in 0.4 are Samarra and Nell. The reason you haven't met them yet is that they don't ordinarily live in your town.
There isn't really a list of planned features for me to write this time around. Basically, I expect all my efforts this month to be spent towards introducing these two girls and their core scenes, as well as expanding some earlier content to work with the agility training. If I can get all of this done in time, this update should be the largest one yet. Thankfully, I do have quite a bit of free time this month due to the holidays, and while I do plan to take some time off from regular work, I have no such plans for my work on this game.
With 19 renders already completed for 0.4, I'm off to a good start. Here's hoping I can keep it going.
