August 18 Update

Not done with 0.37.0 quite yet. This release has an above-average number of new maps, new events, and aftermath scenes, so I think the development time will feel justified. It should release on Friday. Hopefully with enough time so that I can do more testing with some of the saves that I have let lag behind during recent updates.

The image for this post is a bonus screenshot just for patrons. I'm going to do something unusual this time and post a preview early. Normally that would get in the way of development, but it's possible this time. See below for the preview post!

I need to preemptively apologize in an unfortunately vague way. I try to always be as upfront as possible and transparent about everything I'm doing. Recently some things have come up that I can't talk about right now. Please just know that I am doing my best to avoid this having a negative impact on my work.

Some people stress eat - I don't, stress usually kills my appetite. But I've found that I do stress write. I've put down a large number of words in what will be a big fantasy novel. I'm not sure how it fits into any of my plans, but when it is done you guys will have an opportunity to see it as my supporters. It may have to be set aside for a time to finish higher priority things, but at this stage I feel confident that I will finish it in time.

Anyway, I really don't want this to be a gloomy post, so see below for the preview and screenshots! Hope it whets your appetite for the Stenai update. ^-^

In addition to choosing between princesses, you'll get to explore Stenai's capital city. There are a number of interesting things to do...

You won't just be dealing with princesses, though. Your main goal is still to establish a teleportation waypoint, which will be another of the main activities.

 I'm sure you'll all be shocked that this involves getting your hands dirty and killing some things.

And look, Stenai has a hidden port! Hope everyone enjoys. =D


You won't go to Erosia, but you will get a look at the current developments there.

And finally... 

That's all for now!

August 18 Update

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words!

Sierra Lee

I'm sorry to hear you're going through some rough times, Sierra. It seems like life has dealt you a tough hand. You are doing an admirable job of staying professional, but know that there's a lot of us who consider you more important than your work!

I am blind. I checked the clothing store five times, and spotted him in there on the sixth.

I yield. I can't find the enchanter. I've checked every screen and talked to every person, and even checked to see if he was in the tower. When I last saw him he said he was off to get a better tool, but he's not in any of the shops and the shopkeepers are not helpful.

Sorry to hear that you've had a rough time of things and been treated so unfairly. It's hard out there for workers, but what you've described sounds beyond the pale. I can only hope that things go well for you, but I can imagine how such issues drag on. The current update should go public in the usual week! But you've been a patron for a long time, I'll send you this version early. ^-^

Sierra Lee

Can't wait until the update goes out for public. I have been really looking forward to it since catching up with the current content. I would normally have gotten it as a $5 supporter, but had to recently drop down to $1 (temporarily) while out of work and money is getting tight. While I have worked a temp job for about 6 months since leaving the job I had for nearly 10 years, I still blame that company (Walgreens) for being the cause of my job/money issues because my termination involved illegal retaliation for voicing health/safety concerns, discrimination, and even the creation of false documents that involved leaving out important details (such as following the order would require violating policy/laws) and forging of my written signature (as opposed to an electronic one) to make it look like I had acknowledged that I had done something wrong (one even said that the incident occurred nearly 6 months AFTER my wrongful termination). Currently threatening the company that if they are still not willing to work something out with me, I will be pressing civil charges for them having knowingly providing false documents as "evidence" against me in a Federal investigation for which I have undeniable evidence the incident never happened, the write-up was never discussed with me, and my signature was just forged to it by the manager (and I had made the company aware of this well in advance of the investigation, but they just didn't care) :( :(

If you check the timestamp on past release posts, that should give you an answer. I'm fairly consistent about upload times. That said, this one is coming out early! I'm currently waiting on the upload! =D

Sierra Lee

So update around in the afternoon US time which part eastern time or pacific, man I can't wait. I'm just stalking patreon waiting for a post I'm so excited.

Hell Satan

Uh, it's going to take me more than a couple hours; I usually update in the late afternoon (US time). But yes, it's coming today!

Sierra Lee

Update release in a couple of hours.....I can't wait.....

SEEQYR

Yes it became available after that. It affected some of the things going on with the holy planes and fucklord war.

Somebody please remind me, when was the last round of investments? Right after the Ardan succession crisis, I believe?

onepot

Not in this one, but there will be one in 0.38.x.

Sierra Lee

Will there be a round of investment in this update?

Sentiments I believe everyone shares

Bladestorm

I enjoyed how it made me use characters which I hadn't focused on, though there are so many layers to the game I can see why some might not appreciate certain ones, if that wasn't the case there wouldn't be people cheating ProN.

Grey Wolf

I really love the Update and Preview, just "REMEMBER you need to TAKE CARE of YOURSELF also."

AJ_Dragon

Speaking of vessels, how <i>is</i> Simon getting to Stenai?

Decanter

I liked the hidden port, it was really challenging.

Runcible Technician

Only one port? Thought there'd be two for Simon to pick one to enter with his mighty vessel. :o

onepot

Noooooooooo!!!!! Not another port!

Darthjake

That sucks - I hope things work out for your job situation! You will have to see what the situation is with the gift shop and the princesses.

Sierra Lee

Yay I can't wait to play I just hope I get payed soon since i just quit and got a new job sigh life sucks. On a side note even if we can only choose one of the princess can we at least still have some sex scene with the unchoicen one. Also whats with the gift hop are we gonna be able to give gifts?

Hell Satan

"we have to TRY to defeat you" -&gt; Love how the ninja is aware she stands no chance against Ginasta.

Rachnera

I hope the hidden port turns out to be a peaceful jellyfish farm that doubles as a dock.

Decanter

I see that Princess Oni behind the well, ;p. Also the use of purple trees is nice.

Bladestorm

Thanks, I was hoping for some of that. Since Stenai is a small country I can't afford to give it one of my complete tilesets, but I tried to give it some unique traits so it's memorable.

Sierra Lee

Everything! I also look forward to introducing Princess Six Identical Flags.

Sierra Lee

I am really liking some of the preview! I know our group travels a lot, but for some reason more then ever I get the thousand miles from home vibe with these pictures.

WaxerRed

Stenai looking cool, I really like the purple trees. Is everything in all the pictures a princess? Can't wait to choose between slime blob princess and Doom King armor princess :)

Innocuous

Oh goddess the terror returns!

Bladestorm

Thanks, hope it lives up to your expectations!

Sierra Lee

I'm having save/reload flashbacks to Ardoheim's hidden port.

NomiNomi

I try to always be as upfront as possible and transparent about everything I'm doing. I think you gain enough trust in that regard and your word is enough, at least for me. someone will complain, but someone always will complain no matter of that. a bit of hype for the stenai update (and a couple of days ago I said my hype die in the 2006 so it's a big deal)
