With this update we have been able to complete the first part of the 2023 roadmap, which will need to be extended through 2024 after finishing some required important tasks to complete the remaining contents.

⚠ An important note!!⚠

This update introduces the new Quest Manager from Obsidian Lust, which helps me to define quests easier and improves some logics. Your saved game will convert your saved quest data to a new format automatically, but I would recommend to keep some of your former saved games or keep a backup of the save folder and the previous version of the game, just in case 😉

So far, the game includes now 3 new side-quests, and a new quest giver in the capital city:

Kidnapped - Rescue Boudicca!

Save your favourite tomboy girl from the mischievous lieutenants of the dark castle, acolytes of the Queen of Succubi.

ℹ This quest will fire randomly after chapter 6 is complete, when the party wakes up in the campsite after sleeping a night.

The Bizarre Collector

A strange guy with a past relationship with a known NPC in the game in the Academia of Magic, who will require Anne to fetch some specific items and convince some ladies to participate on a magic experiment:

The Mimic Clothing Collection
The Ticklee Album

ℹ This quest can be started from the first chapters in the Capital City, in the magician's quarters, besides the marketplace square, get the stairs up and pay a visit to Mr. Mylo in his Oddity Shop

ℹ at the moment we have just few foot animation models, but I'm planning to try new things with the AI to improve the results 😁

ℹ Also!! don't mind at the moment the lack of sound effects, I'm planning to add a new range of voices and tweak them all for different girls in separated categories 😉 So even Alraune may have her own preset of laughter and giggles.

About the contents we have been able to introduce this year, there are many changes and upgrades I was considering to add in background, so there is also an extra effort to setup and move several game contents to the new plugins we have been preparing for the future games too:

Quest - Rescue Boudicca and the three lieutenants (both quests merged into 1)
Olivia, Iona and Aurora game over and (interactive) domination scenes
Boudicca’s game over and (interactive) domination
Boudicca’s outfit change and variations
Quest - The Bizarre Collector
Mimic Clothing Collection, including mimic shoes, mimic hat, mimic cape and mimic wand animations.
Ticklee Collection Album, using a magic book to capture girls to tickle at will.
Party member Genna, the monk is added. No special scenes for her yet, but will be introduced through the 2024 stage.
Party member relationship changed/upgraded for Mia and Lynessa (switching roles and adding animations where required, a work in progress), and Boudicca's new contents, both the side quest and some extra (resized) animations

Many of the contents left required a special setup with the new plugins we had been used for the early access/pilot project of Obsidian Lust and will come up from 2024.

The Quest Manager works now as a standalone plugin, and I have upgraded it with an automatic conversion of the quests progress in your save games. As for the functionality, it's barely the same setup for you, but in background, it will help me to add quests easier for the game, bringing new possibilities in the future releases.

The Interactive Animation Manager has been improved these late months, to become a great tool to bring more quality and modularity to the animation setup, making easier to introduce variations, handle standalone animation logics and touch events and even playing random sound effect reactions on each click on the target spots.

With this plugin I figured out I could bring more interactive animations from next year, first for all the bosses, then for all the remaining foes, or even for specific scenes 😉

The options here are bigger than ever!

⭐And, what's expected for 2024?

These quests are cut off from 2023 roadmap, because I need to deploy first the interactive tickling plugin and prepare more contents through polls:

Quest - The Tickle Thug: capture and tickle/punish different npcs
More Monster Girls Flirting/Bargain, including mothgirls, goos, alraune, treants and some improvements on the erarlier animations.
More Interactive Domination Scenes, first for the chapter bosses, next for all the remaining foes.
Add New Foes, monster girls specifically, where we are already working with through a Patreon content poll.
Update/Upgrade/new party campsite scenes, for the newcomer Genna, and more ideas for Mia, Lynessa, Linda and Mira.
More Velvet Rug contents, now with a new animation setup, to add more interesting mini-jobs in the Tickle-Pub
The kun nanny to care of those cute little green imps ^^

So, done with the first part of the roadmap, after several months of low productivity, I needed to take my time to prepare and organize what could come next.

I would like to complete the contents above within the next 2024 course, and after that, I would move Amirian Curse to a background stage, to focus on the production of Vivian's adventures in Obsidian Lust, and publish an updated demo for Anne and some spinoff possibilities for the community to continue on an open project using the demo's source.

With that done, I would love to work on Amirian's updates with a more relaxed schedule, with small improvements, animation contents and mini-quests 😉 you know, an artist would never finish his picture 😆 but I'm glad we have reached this long with the game, I love both working on it and watching the interest from the community to make it grow!
