Progress report 6

The next update will still take a while so I wanted to make this post to inform you of the status.

New events certain in the next update:
- More about Grey, the self proclaimed rival of Ryen from the academy.

Fixes and changes:
- Mira + Vampire scene will be added to the CG selection screen to let you replay it and watch the alternativ choice as well.
- The Soul Lantern quest was fixed so that the quest will now finish properly. This will also work in savefiles where you already finished the quest events when you bring the npc a new soul lantern.
- Miras scene in the hidden room will now be a requirement for her scene together with Vampire. Her dialog about not knowing what the room is for would otherwise make no sense.

I have 8 finished CGs at the moment which are waiting to be added to the game. So you'll certainly have a lot to look forward to at the start of 2017!

I wish everyone a good start into 2017! :)

Update 24.12.16

Merry christmas!
A new update has been uploaded with a special christmas event and a new CG scene.

The christmas event starts at the city board if you have the previous paperwork on your desk done (Last event there is the orc camp raid with Kurohime). After reading the message on the city board you'll be able to take quests at your desk to gather presents for each of your party member and start the feast of gratitude once you feel ready. It's possible to start the feast without having presents for all characters but they might not be pleased with that.

The CG event has a special CG with 5 different edits and two girls in it. The characters for this "2+ girls CG" were decided in a poll between my patrons earlier so you can thank them if you like the outcome.

Bugfix 14.12.16

Sadly a bug sneaked into the game which caused different problems after Kayelinth new scene. I uploaded a new fixed version and the files "Renryuu update files 11.12.16 to 14.12.16 (bugfix only!)" to update the previous 11.12.16 version without having to download the entire game again.

 

Seeing as how my patreon site has stagnated for a while I have added two new milestones to motivate some people to pledge. 

New milestones: 

450$ - Increase of the quality of all new CGs from Scarletts from cell shaded to fully shaded. 

750$ - Promised update every 7-10 days. (Should any grave events in my life prevent this I’ll make sure to write an announcement and make up for it afterwards.)

Update 11.12.16

 

A new version has been uploaded. It contains:

• A fix for the broken red imp lanterns.
• New face images and CG battler pictures for red and green slimegirls.
• The version date is now visible in the main menu.
• New paperwork on the desk in your room which includes a mission with Kurohime scouting an orc camp.
• Alternative way to get Millaines CG scene through a quest if you picked not to open her box in her previous quest. (It’s the same scene with her, so you’re not missing out on anything either way.)
• 2 new requests on the city board in Aldlyn if you haven’t upgraded the public health for the clinic or bathhouse yet.
• New CG scene for Kayelinth if you have her vegetable garden event done, the bathhouse build and 70+ relationship with her.

Have fun! :)

Update 27.11.16

A new update is online, but since I had almost no time to work on the game this week it has no new content. Instead it mostly contains improvements and fixes:

- Red imps already caught with soul lanterns can now be catched again. This is to prevent people with save files from before the last update to miss out on the red imps on the farm. As with all other monster types on the farm, only up to 3 are visible on the farm no matter how many you catch.

- Lower speed on the city board to make selecting events easier.

- The warmap not has the option to reset in order to play it again from the start.

- Small balance changes on the katryx armor parts.

- Fixed the request quest from the doctor for Wild Dispel Herbs.

- The warmap now has different music in the background for the map and strategy parts.

There wasn't enough time to have my gametester check everything, so if you find any bugs please be so kind to leave a comment and inform me about it.

I probably won't be able to make much new content next week as well but afterwards I'll have a lot more time again. So I thought we could use the time to talk about all the stuff which I was planning to work on in the near future. Please keep in mind that this list does not contain everything and is missing general stuff like new CG scenes and new maps.

- Continuation of the main story line

- More Monsters and events for the Whisperwind farm

- More about the Windspirit and her conection to Vampire/Ryen

- Events for the ghostgirl Shey, Hellhound and Leneth.

- Alternative way to get the CG scene for Millaine if you decided not to open her box

- Headmaid choices to sleep with side characters

- More about the noble girl Elina

- Merchant / Spy associations

- Result of your choices during Miras quest with the Icespirit

- More paperwork on your desk

- Option to set laws and policies for your kingdom

- Battle with Lace after obtaining the Katryx Blade

- Event about the friendship between Kayelinth and Chiyo

- More political meetings with other countries

- Events with the commander of your old academy

Please feel free to write in the comments what you're looking to or what you're not really interested in.

In the picture above you can see the design of a monster hall in the top level of your castle. It's supposed to be similar to the Whisperwind farm and provide housing made especially for the different types of monsters in the game. Currently I don't have enough unique monsters to make proper use of this, so it won't be used for a long time, but once I got more this is where you'll be able to keep and play with them. :)

Update 20.11.16

The new update is online and contains:

- Red Imps at the Whisperwind farm now seperated from normal Imps

- New visual and 3 new requests for the city board during which you'll be able to play as the catgirl Jackie and a new slimegirl character.

- The book author/seller in Thremten now sells books even if you don't have Tsubakis quest for a book about warfare

- Knocky in Ebron now sells a recipe for Katryx armors after you had the dialog about the Katryx weapon with her.

- The succubus can only increase your relationship with other countries up to 5 times. (Counts starts at zero even in saves where you already had used this option)

- The warmap has a new battle system and formation is replaced by research.

- Units in the new warmap battle system gain experience for each defeated enemy soldier.

- You can now craft Big Potions.

General information:

- You can continue to play your old progress by copying the old save folder into the folder of the new game version.

-  Saveslot 19 and 20 are used for auto-saves. Don’t save your own  progress there if you don’t want it to get overwritten with auto-saves  or toggle off auto-saves in the main menu.

- You can find a "update  files only" zip in the download folder, which contains only the  changed/added files since the last version 06.11.16. If you already have  the previous version you can download these files by themselves instead  of downloading the entire game again. These files are not necessary  when you download the entire new game version "Renryuu Ascension  Testversion 20.11.16". I  would appreciate it if someone could help me by writing a good  summary/description of the game. I would use this to replace my outdated  game description at the places the game has been posted.

Update 06.11.16

The new update is online and it contains:
- Auto-save is now on saveslots 19 and 20. If you want to keep the saves from those slots, load and save them to different slots.
- Messages at the border to Begus about maps not existing yet has been updated and will only appear once from now on.
- Thanks to a new plugin it's possible now to hide the message box by pressing the delete button on your keyboard.
- The walkthrough has been updated and now contains a FAQ section. Please let me know if you have ideas for something that can still be added to this section.
- A new event with Kayelinth about a little garden for her now starts at the sleeping chambers.
- You can now enter the Whisperwind farm slightly east from the abandoned barracks where you found Mirel. The location is marked on the Begus north map or in the walkthrough in case you have trouble finding it. On the farm you can obtain the recipe for Soul Lanterns with which you can capture slimegirls or imps and release them on the farm. You can improve your relationship with released monsters by giving them things they wish for or petting them. Once the relationship is good enough you can harvest slimegirl essence or imp leather from them. This feature will later be continued with more social options after the relationship with the monsters is good enough. Please note also that the red and green slimegirl will receive a unique appearance in the future but are only recolored versions of the blue slimegirl for now.
- Kurohime has received another CG scene after her training in the secret prison is done.

- The promised warmap battle system still has grave bugs and won't be available in this update. My apology to everyone who was looking forward to it.

General information:

- You can continue to play your old progress by copying the old save folder into the folder of the new game version.

- Saveslot 19 and 20 are used for auto-saves. Don’t save your own progress there if you don’t want it to get overwritten with auto-saves or toggle off auto-saves in the main menu.
- You can find a "update files only" zip in the download folder, which contains only the changed/added files since the last version 24.10.16. If you already have the previous version you can download these files by themselves instead of downloading the entire game again. These files are not necessary when you download the entire new game version "Renryuu Ascension Testversion 06.11.16".

Progress report 5

The next update is making good progress and should be up in a few days.

- I’ve worked some more on the strategy battle system for the warmap but it might not be completely done by the time of the upload. But even if it’s not finished I’ll still give the option to try what works so far in order to get some feedback and improve it based on your opinions.

- Kayelinth has a new event where you make a little vegetable garden with her. It’s a really sweet event which I’m sure will increase her popularity with a many players. :)

- The screenshot above is for a new farm map in Begus. The events there will be mostly about catching and taming monstergirls, which was supposed to be done with the monster essence system but given the amount of monsters we might have the farm should provide the necessary space and options for everything that’ll come in the future. The monster essence room will still stay and be for people who like a more "forceful" approach while the farm will be more peaceful and kind.Thanks to the user mynamealreadytaken for the initial idea and the comment that lead to this. :)

Walkthrough Update

After some delay the walkthrough finally received an update and should be up to date now. Please let me know if anything is still missing from it.

You can download it from the same folder as always:

As a little progress update, I made a new event for Kayelinth today which I think turned out really nice and sweet. I'm sure this event will give her a lot more fans. :D

Update 24.10.16

A new version has been uploaded and contains:

- 3 requests, 2 bounties and 1 event available at the new city board in front of your castle.

- Changed the name of the time value "days" in the merchants map. This is supposed to aviod confusion of people who think they would need to sleep in order to skip days.

General information:

- You can continue to play your old progress by copying the old save folder into the folder of the new game version.
