The Art of Diplomacy...and Love, release 0.14 (All Patrons)

Added 2025-04-20 04:35:15 +0000 UTC

Hey again,

Here is version 0.14 of "The Art of Diplomacy...and Love". The work on this update was somewhat different than usual. While the lion's share was still reserved for the rendering, stream-lining the code ended up being a big time sink this time around.

However, this was necessary, to a) make it easier to work with in the feature, leading to less of a hassle for me, when implementing new features and, at this time more importantly, to b) implement the gallery system.

The gallery can from now on be acessed from the stats menu on the upper right of the screen. It'll be active, once the the intro section of the story is done (at the same time, when the love interest profiles appear in the stats menu).

An important note: You'll need to start a new save file. It's unfortunate, but to properly implement this (and get rid of some bugs, the most notable being the Neela House of Joy fight scenes not triggering), this will be necessary, for once. I'm sorry about that.

Now, about the in-game content of this update:

It includes the finalization of day 3, with a big part going to a night out with Lyra, for some criminal activities. Another, significant development is, that our MC has the opportunity to get very intimate with Mari, the milfy maid. I also moved the Asiya plotline forward, giving two options, that will lead to some spicy scenes very soon. Also, there's a small exotic dance scene for Neela at the House of Joy, depending on the player having chosen this option for her.

Outside of that, I also decided to enhance some previous ero scenes, those being: The Tarja scene, the Alycia/Jayne scene and the Neela scene from the last update.

That's the gist of it. With the stream-lined script in place, I hope my workflow will be more efficient for future updates, meaning faster dev time.

Here's the Changelog:
