Star Knightess Aura Release 1.1.0-prerelease-12

ITCH | MEGA | ITCH-DELUXE | MEGA-DELUXE

Reminder that this week is an SKA week so Deniis can progress more on the character artworks before.

We progress further towards the maid ending! This week, I updated the Festival of Greed event to take the Maid Full Time Job into account. Some characters will have different reactions and the various choices you had in the free time slot affect the battles.

The most important change is of course the confrontation with Arwin. Here, completing the Maid Full Time Job will now trigger a new check where Aura can succumb to her brainwashing and betray the party.

In terms of word count, the lewd event is fairly short. Instead it focuses more on special effects, in particular representing the memory manipulation. I have always wanted to use the shatter effect that I had added to the game for transformation effects in the way I did in this scene (I know this isn't exactly meaningful to read - just watch the scene :'D)

Besides that, of couse also a lot of dealing with the various side characters that are involved in the scene. I think this is also the only lewd scene that happens while other characters are in a fighting cutscene.

The only thing missing now is the epilogue for which I will need 1-2 dev weeks and the maid bad ending is fully done!

On the balancing side, a small note: I have reduced the effect of the Influential Orb on the Maid Obedience passive since that one can grow a lot in the Full Time Maid event sequence.

On the technical side, we have some behind-the-scenes work from Trihan who has parametrized various UI elements so that different languages can specificy different fonts and in particular font sizes in case they need more space.

That's it for this week! Next week (and the one after that) we will be back to Liora.

EDIT: Also regarding the poll on the Liora costume, this is the current state:

I'm noticing a few more "features". Book reading time calculation is being thrown waayyy off and willpower books are doubling, tripling effectiveness if you don't sell them and retain in inventory. For example, first willpower book takes 4 days at start of game. You complete it, get 10 will power. You then get a reading nerf to extend reading completion time. Your book, instead of showing 4/4, now shows 4/7. You are able to read it again to 7/7 and get 10 more will power. You can do this with both will power books. Now, not sure what, i need to test this specifically, but I've only noticed after I get all the reading nerfs by total days to read is like 78 days... that's just absurdly high. Some calc is being multiplied instead of added.

Found a graphical glitch in this version. During Herman's romance, scene on the trade center rooftops when she is wearing the pink dress and they are gathering votes for mayor, her head is bald from the back, half bald from the side. Wish I could add a screen shot. Her pink dress also doesn't reflect well on her model, not sure if that was ever implemented.

Yes, if you avoid getting "Official Master: Arwin" and heal your willpower with Emerald Tea if necessary. It's also possible with it but you need to manage Maid Obedience to be fairly low.

Is there a way to make the check to not betray the party if you did all 5 maid quests?

David

You can get to the maid job before the festival of greed?
