Weekly report 117

absolutely! we can't skip the final touches. the higher the number of scenes, dialogues, and events, the higher the number of times we will need to ask 'is this done well enough?' and although many times the answer is 'yes', sometimes it isn't, especially when it comes to things like foreshadowing.

Another definite reason why the improvement stage was an absolutely required delay for the update, even if people were complaining about the additional time it took.

she will be one of the poll options. thanks man

MagicNuts

I'm so happy you liked that bit! There are a lot of scenes and dialogues in the game that we like for different reasons but which are never mentioned by the players because there are so many other things going on. This raven scene was added later (in the improving stage, if I'm not mistaken) because we felt like something was missing, and I also wanted to show them as being in the same boat as Rose and make sense of their helpfulness later on. So, a little subtle, softer --and hopeful-- side of the ravens was all I could add without spoiling the otherwise short and to-the-point raven-ful dream dialogue. Knowing you liked it so much makes my day. cheers

MagicNuts

thank you so much for joining and for the kind words! really appreciate it.

MagicNuts

judging by people's comments here and on Discord, my guess is the Main Story will do well in the upcoming poll. either way, we're generally in favor of giving the patrons the power to decide the focus of future updates, considering that we set which girls are listed as poll options to begin with.

MagicNuts

hidden photo material! and you never know, there are more scenes we will have with them (although their stories are done)

MagicNuts

I have already prepared that one. and yes, it was great! we absolutely needed the break.

MagicNuts

cheers, man!

MagicNuts

thanks!

MagicNuts

Would love to see Anne on the poll - eager to see more of her. Love the game so far, thanks for your work!

Hey guys, I’m playing the update, and I just gotta take a moment to congratulate whoever made this absolutely wonderful little design detail! ~Very Minor Rose storyline spoilers~ In the tent dream sequence, when the MC is talking to the raven, I very distinctly read the raven's words in a hoarse, shrieking voice. I did this without thinking much of it, because I’ve always ‘heard’ character dialog in my head using the voices I mentally assign them. But when the Raven said “Hope. Always.” I VERY DISTINCTLY heard it in my head as being softly spoken with a human cadence, without needing the narrator clarifying the voice had drastically changed I was just immensely impressed that you managed to set up this eerie little moment where the dramatical voice change of a raven could be so effectively conveyed to the player, just by using capital letters for the cries, and establishing a small screen shake every on every word, then switching to lower case without the shake to signal an unnatural, drastic change in tone. I wouldn’t even have needed the clarification from the narrator, saying the raven’s words had been spoken in a human voice. I just had to pause playing and immediately come here to congratulate you guys on that tiny little moment you created for me to experience. It was legitimately eerie, and dragged me into the story like nothing else. I’m DEFINITELY going to try to re-create this moment when DMing for my DnD group at some point, where I’ll force this moment of reflection, by having a ravens single-response words go from jarring and hoarse to somber and muted intensity when talking about hope.

just joined and wanted to say this game is the most lavish piece of artistic work I've ever seen. great gameplay with absolutely beautiful artwork to elevate this to epic. amazing!

my opinion is that you shd focus on the main story in .8, not giving us an option until .9.

What happened to the toy Myrtle made for Rose out of the special wood?

I'd love to see the Rose sunrise fire dæmon scene and Rose's demi-demon form standing in the carriage doorway with her fine ass on full display as wallpaper, if possible, and hope you have a great, relaxing, fun, relaxing, enjoyable and relaxing time away together.

great update
