Rebel Duet (Mar 9, 2024)

Added 2024-03-09 21:06:20 +0000 UTC

v0.7 is now 65% complete, with a release coming in 2-3 weeks!

This update features our new elf friend - Annestria - and her pet dragon. While Annestria was always intended to be a major character in the story, I've chosen to significantly increase her role in the game by promoting her to main character status. In other words, Rebel Duet will be a story about four primary characters: the MC, Valerie, Rena, and Annestria - and how their personal goals intersect.

Rather than magic, Annestria is proficient with beasts, traps, knives and throwing objects. I felt it was important to give her a unique fighting style, seeing as there are already two mages in the crew. Her pet dragon will also provide a bit of comedy relief, which will help to balance the mood of the game, especially as things will be heading into some very dark territory in Acts 3 & 5.

There will also be more development between the other two heroines in this update. The protagonist will invite Rena to join them on a walk with Valerie, marking the first time the three share a (mostly) peaceful moment outside. That said... while Rena and Valerie are no longer complete enemies, they are still far from friends, and it will take quite a while yet before they truly warm up to each other. Small steps!

I've also added a short scene to the start of the game (after the initial tutorial), where Valerie appears and speaks to the MC in a dream. I felt this would better foreshadow the summoning, seeing as Valerie had mentioned seeing the MC in a vision before.

Anyway, that's a small taste of what you can expect in v0.7. I'll be posting one more progress update, a few days before release. I hope you look forward to playing soon!
