Off the beaten path first release, what's next?

Welcome, welcome,

To the people who've tried and enjoyed the first release of the game, thank you and to the others, please, go ahead and try it.

Now, if you've completed all the content the first release had to offer then here's what should be coming next.

I aim to release the rest of the Ensung region within a two months deadline, but that is wish rather than guarantee so please do not run away with it.

I will keep everyone updated via weekly posts (maybe more even) that will drop every Wednesday from now on.

The next update will focus on gameplay features rather than erotic content, however there should be a handful of new scenes. The update will ship with those new scenes no matter what so rest easy if you are looking forward to them.
What are the planned features of the next update you ask? Here they are:

Gameplay:

-The rest of the Ensung region: (Southwestern coast of Mirye; Woodlands, Border of the Southern Lull region of Mirye, Beginning of the road to Valensel, Road to the Midlands, Ensung slums, and every town/hamlet in the area. (No access to Ensung's upper district yet.))

Note: This is a pretty significant amount of work, mapping all of that is one thing, but making it interesting with new quests, new npcs, new foes, etc, will be a lot of work and should take most of my time. Expect more maps to be smaller (but denser).

-More crafting recipes: One more blueprint will become available for weapons, as well as all of the tier IV armour sets.

Note: This is a matter of a few days of work, maybe even just one. I have future-proofed the crafting system to the best of my abilities.

-More dungeons: Two more dungeons, a fairly easy early game one (about the same difficulty as the Seaside Hollow) and another early game one that could be a bit tough until more playable characters are unlocked.

Note: This should take a few days, while dungeons themselves are very straightforward to make; coming up with interesting foes with interesting and challenging mechanics requires a bit of time.

Scenes and Story:

-No follow-up to the main quest nor for Elvira's quest, yet.

-No follow-up on Eleanor, yet.

-Two more affection dialogues/scenes for both Elvira and Vanari.

-Mother Superior (Laudanne's temple in Untergrad) dialogues and follow up.

-One more generic tent scene for both Elvira and Vanari.

-Two more side scenes for both Elvira and Vanari

Note: This is the second most time consuming part of the update, as expected. Character dialogues take time to write and scenes themselves take time to create and implement. The incoming tent scenes will focus on our girls' tits, which I feel is already long overdue.


Stay tuned for more info next Wednesday.
