The Art of Diplomacy...and Love, release 0.15 (All Patrons)
Added 2025-07-06 07:42:30 +0000 UTCHey again,
Finally, after a development month marred by technical issues and a heatwave, that made the final render production push a slog, I bring you version 0.15 of "The Art of Diplomacy...and Love".
So, what does this update include?
It features the first half of day 4 of the game, stretching from the morning to right after dinner. This leaves the next update with a lot of room for "saucy" content.
But there's also some of that in this update, mainly on the Tarja route. If the MC has pursued the icy countess up to this update, he receive a quite unexpected, but not unfortunate, task from her. And some, very special, motivation.
As for the other ladies: Neela and Aleta received content, that will setup new storylines and ero scenes in the near future. Lyra receives a new role in the castle, that will have her interact with the MC more frequently during the day. The rest of the ladies won't be featured this time, as they will get plenty of content in the evening portion of day 4.
Two big things in this update involve other content: Firstly, Baron Rollo will offer the MC to buddy up with his son. This may get the MC on his good side or get him monetary compensation, but in exchange, he'll be saddled with a quite unlikeable companion for the next couple of afternoons. Whose presence will also negatively impact some interactions with the LI's. However, the alternative is, to potentially upset Baron Rollo, a powerful nobleman.
The other thing introduced is the beginning of the event chain, that triggers, if the MC fails to provide his daily payment. This update is the first time, where the player theoretically could have squandered all his silver, which is why it needed introduction now. Of course, if you did alright with money management, you will never see this event chain to begin with.
That's the gist of it. As always, feedback is appreciated.

That are some nice news AND pics. I'm also open for more side characters to get more... Involved. But I get it that you want to focus on our main LI's. Anyways, I'm happy for this update. Keep it up!

There's always the possibility, that the character could become more important, in relation to the MC, but right now, I'm focusing on the main LI's and some other side-characters, for that kind of content.
