It looks like Norren is in trouble once again! :o
This time Erianor has come to give Gwin a hand, and a paw... and something else. All that it takes to keep the bad dhole under control.
So... double trouble, double the fun. Right, Norren? :)

The discovery of the Karkandiak continent marked the beginning of the age of the oceans, the period of time in Shadre's history where maritime exploration and colonization reached its peak.
After the discovery of the huge continent by independent adventurers, a multitude of nations rushed the virgin land to claim a piece of the cake, for Karkand was (and still is in some parts) an uncharted and exotic land waiting to be explored.
Eventually, the Karkandiak colonies grew rich, prosperous, and daring. Wars back at the old continent (mainly Teria) forced the most important colonies into unwanted conflicts.
The wars in the seas, Teria and Karkand drove a substantial part or the colonial population into Karkand's inner territories to start anew. Some of this adventurous colonist groups founded new villages, others even decided to go back in time and form tribal societies in this pure, new land. And others were lost forever...
Given the time, the state of senseless conflicts brewed the perfect storm, where a big independentist group was formed and financed by high aristocrats, generals, and philosophers. They all shared the same dream: A new great nation that could rise in this beautiful land. The nation of Karkand.
After one last big effort, the armies of the independentist coalition of Karkand managed to unify the country with relative ease. After all, the foreign powers were too busy fighting each other to answer to this new threat effectively.
In the present time, Karkand's growth has decelerated. A country with so much potential, that was once seen as a beacon of liberty in Shadre, is now seen as a libertine nation managed by uninspired and corrupt leaders.
The country's economy would be in a hard spot if it wasn't for Aurisoft's huge investment. Heavy mining, large production complexes, new infrastructure... While being a Helian corporation, Aurisoft mainly operates in Karkand because of the relatively cheap manpower, exploiting its resources while giving jobs to dozens of thousands.
Regarding its military, Karkand is weak considering the vast resources and high population it has. This country already had a bad performance during the war of the silence, being unable to win most of the battles against Zastravingar. Still, Aurisoft's bigger army corps are stationed in Karkand, and in cooperation with the Karkandiak army, it could be said that the country is perfectly able to fend off almost any invader.
Karkand is a country with an (almost) stagnant economy. Life's easy and convenient for the powerful and rich, while a bit harsh for the commoner. The common salaries are average at best, but at least the quality of life is good enough and many rights are granted to the citizens of this country.
Finally, Karkand is a beautiful and exotic country, wide, deep and with the biggest variety of biomes of all Shadre. It is a perfect place for adventurers and explorers, but also for common tourists who just want to visit a resort by the beach and enjoy the great views and affordable prices.
Karkandiaks are usually seen as losers, simpletons and sometimes as superstitious individuals, but also as good hearted, daring and honest people.

First part of the reward for our Benefactors, the CG's of Echoes from Valeth at their original-full resolution.
2023-04-19 05:23:17 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone!
This is Blakenfen,
I'm happy to announce that, despite some difficulties on our side, we're already halfway there. And it's official: We're finishing Echoes from Valeth!
I want to thank the whole team for this:
-Thanks to my dear husband Shadow. He cheers me up, tests the game, helps me with social media, itch.io, patreon and discord management, despite not having lots of spare time. (He also also puts up with me, the most important part.)
-Thanks to my close friend, Lecrozac. He's the analytic eyes, also tests the game and we often talk about the present and the future of the project.
-Thanks to OtterKeeby. He's an excellent editor, a true professional, and he loves this project as much as we do. I'm 100% confident in his skills, and I'm ashamed of not being able to pay him enough for his efforts, but also infinitely grateful to have him with us.
-And, of course, thanks to all of you, the Aucyon Project patrons. Without you, this wouldn't be happening. Without you, there's no project.
Now, I need to make an important announcement:
The next update of Echoes from Valeth (May) will not feature a new chapter. And no, we're not taking a break. We're still working on Echoes from Valeth, but the amount of work is simply too big at this moment to release chapter 7 on May.
We have to produce new content, such as new character sprites, new backgrounds, a new UI... while also keep working on the edits.
Here's all the work we'll be doing on April, May and June:
April-May production work:
-Create the base of the remaining character sprites.
-Flesh out elements of the story.
-Gather, edit & produce new assets.
-Editing process assistance.
May update (0.6a):
-At least 2 chapters edited by OtterKeeby.
-Full implementation of dusk and night sprite variants (all chapters).
-Partial or total implementation of a new UI.
-Fixed a code error that "wouldn't allow Gwin to talk" while looking to the right.
June update (0.7):
- The 7th chapter of the story.
- More chapters edited by OtterKeeby.
- New sprite variations.
- At least 3 new CGs.
- 2 new characters.
- New sound effects.
- New music.
- General corrections.
Planned features:
-Additional visual content.
-Chapter selection menu.
-In-game cg gallery.
Please be advised the project's patreon will keep running. Polls, lore entries, etc. will keep coming as usual.
Finally, I let you know that the 0.6 version will not be available to the public on May, but they'll have access to the v0.6a on June, at the same time v0.7 becomes available to our patrons. This means there won't be public updates until June.
Thank you for your attention,
Blaken,

2023-04-13 18:41:33 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! It’s Keeby the editor otter here – edotter if you will – with an update. Blakenfen asked me to outline my work so far and what my editing entails so you know what to expect.
Several weeks ago, I commenced editing EfV from the beginning onwards. Though my time is somewhat limited, I will still comfortably be able to outpace the rate of new chapter releases. At some point, I will converge with the brand-new chapters being released, and they will have already endured the harsh gaze and red pen of an editor.
So far, I have revised the Prologue and Chapter 1, and edited half of Chapter 2 (all in close collaboration with Blakenfen). You will see my work gradually integrated into updates on an ongoing basis. Of course, you can imagine that this is a tremendous amount of work for Blakenfen, who needs to rewrite the code for almost every line in the game (and many new lines as well), so this may take some time.
It is worth giving you an idea of what you can expect in these edit-updates. No doubt those of you who have continued to support us (thank you) are quite attached to the story and its characters, so I want to reassure you that the plot remains the same. Marie has not turned into a gator, Gwin is not suddenly a bad chess player, etc. Rather, my focus has been on improving the pacing, impact, and flow of the story. I have also mixed up the sentence structure so there is less subject verb object with the aim of making every scene interesting to read.
Additionally, there should now be very few typographical and grammatical errors in the text as well. Blakenfen is not a native English speaker (although he has done an astonishing effort at writing this novel in English!), whereas I have the advantage of being a native speaker. Note, however, that I write in UK/AUS English, rather than US English, so you may notice minor differences in spelling and punctuation accordingly.
As an interesting aside, an unexpected side effect of the editing process has been, quite simply, a greater amount of content. The Prologue is now about 20% larger in terms of raw content, while Chapter 1 is 40% bigger. There were some scenes and actions, particularly in Chapter 1, that I felt needed more justification behind them in order to make sense. I have spent greater time (and words) taking you into the mind of Gwin so you can really understand why he is driven to take certain actions. My current progress on Chapter 2 also suggests that the second chapter will be about 40% bigger. As noted above, trust that Blakenfen and I worked closely together to ensure that everything added was consistent with the lore and characters. To put it plainly, there is now more story for readers to enjoy, and it is designed in a way that smooths out some of the spikier and bumpier parts of the pacing.
I won’t bore you with any further details – the best way to see the changes, of course, is to play through the chapters after they have been revised. I am sure that the inclusion of edited chapters will be included in the update announcements where applicable, so you will know when they are there.
On behalf of the team, thank you for continuing to support us, and I hope you enjoy what we have in store for in in the future.
Bouncily,
Keeby

Anyways, we really hope you enjoyed this one...

Victoriam is a small city of roughly 90,000 inhabitants located in the north-eastern part of North Island, Helion.
It was originally founded by Albaniran colonists, and along Northelia (the biggest city in North Island) Inyur, Tracian & Sophian has a pretty characteristic post-colonial architecture. Although a large number of modern apartment complexes have been built close to the downtown district of the city, giving it a mixed look in that regard.
The city has an oceanic climate, presenting mild-wet summers and cold-wet winters, with overcast days most of the year and frequent precipitations.
Flanked by beautiful and dense temperate rainforests to the east and west, Victoriam's main economic focus used to be the woodcutting industry, but this came to an end after Helion's government passed a law to protect most of the green zones of the country.
The city's growth slowed down after this, but it's still on the rise. Since then, the economic focus was switched to a more cultural one, and Victoriam currently holds the honor of having some of the better schools, theaters, galleries, seafood restaurants and one of the best medical universities of Helion.
Despite the beauty of the city and its surroundings, Victoriam isn't a tourist destination because of its calm attitude and limited accessibility worldwide. Thus, it's better known as a place to enjoy a quiet life between verdant hills, stunning forests, and the Arkandik ocean to the north, by the silent beach of Valeth.
