Star Knightess Aura Release 1.1.0-prerelease-8

ITCH | MEGA | ITCH-DELUXE | MEGA-DELUXE

We have a week dedicated to adding some more reactivity and polish to the world of Roya, so we have less of a big item and more a bunch of small items this week. I started the week off by finishing out the second day of the Full-Time Maid Job - You can now save one of the abductees from the Festival at an earlier time and thus save yourself some Perika, provided you have a high Maid Performance score.

I also did some editing on the Maid Job 4 scene and fixed up some glitches I didn't have the time to look after since I was traveling last Friday. Today, I have also slightly advanced the end of content point from last week (not a lot), just the day start scene in the Abandoned Shrine before moving to Arwin's mansion for the third day.

Then, in Trademond, you can find two new reactivity pieces: If you have performed all three Formula Peddler lewd scenes, the Aura Doll will become a dynamic NPC and start wandering around Trademond. The Novice Adventurer right beside the Formula Peddler home also has a minor reaction to this. For Hermann fans, there's also a bit more reactivity as more NPCs will give comments to Aura becoming Hermann's wife. Most of them NPCs in the Guard (The grumpy NPC at the city entrance will be a bit more respectful as he seems to owe Hermann some mone ;D).

And then yesterday and today, I have mostly invested my time into artist briefs. Yesterday, I created the brief for the Maid Job 4 event for Emubi. He's currently on a family event until the 26th so it will take some time to get started.

Finally, as a first update to the artist search for Liora's Price of Dignity, we currently have the following ranking according to the poll:

Deniis is pretty clearly ahead, but I have seen concerns whether he can apply the quality and style he chose for Liora's character art to H-CGs. I have therefore decided to give him two more test commissions:

• A H-CG for the Edgar Date - Groping variation

• A H-CG for the Rean Date - Sex variation

It's technically too early to jump into H-CGs, usually I would first give some more feedback on their character design and instead of going with the first one, this time I wanted our artist two create two more designs so we can better compare and choose before moving forward - and I still plan to go down that route, however, in order to check Deniis' skills we will be doing these two test commissions first. It means that we have to revisit the CGs later after the character designs are finalized but I think that's still better than risking spending a lot of money and time on the character design phase and then noticing it won't work out when we start on the first H-CG.

I will post their result when I get it and if it shouldn't work out, we would then consider whoever is in second place at that time (currently Emubi).

That's about it for this week. Next week: The last Maid Job event! After that, the only events left are the Betrayal and Bad End event in the next dev cycle.
