New Weekly & Alpha: v0.73!

Hi everyone!

We're pleased to present the latest weekly & alpha build, version 0.73!

In fact, in much the same way that a Robert Frost poem might, this build diverges along two paths: one with additional features that is NOT compatible with old save files, and one without those additional features that IS compatible with old save files.

These builds will be very explicitly notated, so you don't have to worry about getting the wrong one. However, if you're not far along with your save, haven't tried the game yet or are even considering starting over from scratch with new decisions and a new build, you'll definitely want to pick up version 0.73.1.

The final consideration is that at some point down the line, the old save compatible versions will stop. It's simply too much work preparing two very different builds every week, but I didn't want to cut everyone off cold turkey. That just seemed rude. My current approximate deadline for that is with the public launch of chapter 7, which is still many weeks away.

I hope you understand! And without further ado, the patch notes (for both releases):

Version 0.73.1 - 3-1-2019 (New Game Required)
Mercy and Orus can both equip two accessories
Equipment types Orus can’t equip no longer appear
Added new categories for better inventory organization

Version 0.73 (Old Save Compatible)
Added a new NSFW scene! (Beatrix, Toy, Futa)
Added a hunter’s campsite to the overworld
Added new treasure to the overworld
Added all new Ch. VII Esterholt content
Added more progression clues to the siblings portion of Ch. VII
Added new cooking recipes
Fixed a sink tile error
Fixed an issue where you can leave Fort Wilkes without your crew
Fixed some typos
Fixed an issue where Beatrix’s direction was incorrectly locked
You can now cook in the Esterholt manor oven
You can no longer hear the sea from inside the cove dormitories

New Release: v0.74!

Happy release day, everyone! Same as last week, it's split between two builds (to continue for a little while longer): one that is compatible with ALL old saves, and one that requires a v0.73 save or newer.

The old save compatible versions will be phased out eventually--probably once I wrap chapter 7 up and make it public. I wish there was a way around this, but alas. I'll make sure to ease the pain somehow.

Also, if you haven't yet, check out our brand new trailer here:

New Release: Version (Fallout/Soldier) 0.76!

Hi, everyone! This week's build, version 0.76, is the patron release of what will eventually become the next public build, which means it's not far off!

This ALSO means the save compatible grace period is approaching its gruesome end. I expect support for old save files will end around after version 0.78, so apologies in advance for that.

New Release: v0.80!!!

The EIGHTIETH build of Daughter of Essence is being uploaded now, if you can believe it (not including hotfixes!)

New to the game? Want to try the public build? Want to become a patron? Visit https://www.patreon.com/indoorminotaur!

This week's release is the start of our new "dragonbones" implementation, which is a system whereby we can start to animate some of our larger boss fights with a lot more flexibility. This creates much more lively encounters, and it also tends to save file space compared to the old sprite sheet method of animation.

It's a slow process and it requires a lot of learning new things, but so far I'd say it's already paying off. Beyond that, the new Hawk's Keep area has expanded quite a bit this week, and there is a huge pile of other bug-fixes and QoL improvements we've knocked out again.

This has been a productive week, as it turns out.

Version 0.80 - 4-19-2019
Added new areas to the Hawk’s Keep sinkhole
Added major new boss fight to Hawk’s Keep sinkhole
Added several new enemies to the Hawk’s Keep sinkhole
Began implementation of “Dragonbones,” animating several boss encounters
The “equip” animation in combat now correctly plays over the character equipping
Guts is no longer spinning around confused during a cutscene
One of Petrova’s crew mates no longer wanders away from the table during a cutscene
Ralph now correctly leaves the infirmary at the end of the Carvannah chapter
Orus’s navy and green backpacks now require the correct dye color
Fixed a bug where a box contained infinite wool cloth
Fixed a possible soft-lock when talking to the blonde harp as Marlan
Fixed an issue where trying to leave the mine after hitting the keeper with a shovel doesn’t play the right lines of dialogue
Fixed a passability issue on the bridge beneath the mine
Several quests now correctly resolve in the journal
Hallie no longer appears in the cove inn if she wasn’t rescued (RIP)
Player followers are now disabled starting in the finder monastery until reunited with Orus
Ursus Chordata is no longer a fish. It’s been changed to a cool giant crab
Fire Wisps are now correctly resistant to Earth magic, rather than weak to it
Fixed an issue where equipping Orus with a backpack caused the screen to fadeout when exiting the menu
Fixed a table passability issue in the cove
Fixed a portrait flicker when talking with Abner in the manor
In the initial fight with Marlan, his attack has been replaced with a skill called “Taunt,” which deals less damage & Burn is now the last status applied
Gin and Katarina no longer appear in Shiveworth until after Mercy is captured
Changed a few lines of dialogue with Abner
The leaf spirit in Shiveworth no longer requires the action button to trigger
Revised a few early choice menus to share better continuity with the rest of the game
Fixed a portrait flicker when boarding the ship in Shiveworth
Fixed a portrait not appearing correctly when returning to Ginny a second time to buy a fishing rod
TP required to trigger Trance state up to 150 from 100
Fixed some text-runoffs in Abner’s room
Fixed some typos in Shiveworth
Fixed an issue where sell shops previewed the sale as an expense rather than a gain (thanks to a member of the Discord, Lexicographer)
The sun chest is now visible in Esterholt before you get a Sun Key
The ladders/ropes of Hawk’s Keep now disable player followers while climbing
Tweaked the cutscene where Mercy fights the finder slightly, to try and avoid strange party follower behavior

New Weekly & Alpha Releases: v0.82!

Hi everyone! It's been a busy week with a lot of in-game and out-of-game developments. We're in talks with a number of voice actors to record a prologue for us, and we're chipping away at a lot of different parts of chapter 8 which we hope you'll enjoy.

There's not a lot to say that the patch notes won't cover, but it's a fun build and we hope everyone enjoys.

Notice how they all start with "added" instead of "fixed," which is a REALLY nice change of pace.

New Release: v0.83!

Hi folks, the latest weekly build is now live! We're still crafting the village of Fogsborough and populating it with new characters.

This little remove village is tucked away on the far west corner of Grey Clarion, and you'll have to do a little spelunking to reach it.

We've also spent a good portion of the week listening to auditions for the voice of Mercy, and we're pleased to announce that we've, at last, found what we think is the right fit. We'll have more on that subject soon, but at the very least, we're eager to bring Mercy to life for some of the important monologue parts.

Until next time!
