- Fixed Fenris having Soren's bust when talking to him while he's in the milking room

- Updated Soren's affinity scenes, portraits, sprites, etc. with his new appearance

- Added voices to the characters when selecting them during battle

- Changed the videos for the affinity scenes to increase the quality

- Added fixed resolutions to the windows to reduce scaling artifacts. You can change the resolution in the options, but if you want the game to look its best, it is recommended to play in fullscreen (1080p)

- Changed the special trigger animation and added several new special animations

 

 

*Below is a repost of this week's patreon post.

 

Palestra:

Alm will be the next update, but I haven't started on him yet due to the DA release. I do plan on doing his CG and writing in one go this week xP.


Dreadlord Ascension:

The new update is now available! While most of the work this week was focused on getting the new version out for today, I do have a bit of news to share.

To start off, we're currently working on an Android version of the game. Currently, I can make it work on my phone, but the controls needs to be better adapted and we currently have an issue where we need to work out how to transfer saves between versions. I can't guarantee this version would ever come out, but I would like to have a working Android version as the game lends itself fairly well to mobile. The development of the game will still be focused on the PC version though.

Since the two animations are due for release next week, I've also began making the new animations for Fenris xP

  1. Is there a way to close the stats screen in a fight when you accidentally open it for a unit? I keep having to close my game when I do that.

    1. Press escape or the right mouse button

      Delete
    2. Escape works, right mouse doesn't. On another note; how do you get the refresh scenes that are ??? to play? I've been using refresh when I can and no scenes play after chapter 1-1.

      Delete
    3. the ??? scenes are random. Once you've summoned a character, refreshing them or using the True Form skill from Cervius will randomly trigger one (we'll add a shop later to get any scenes you may have trouble getting)

      Delete
    4. I asked because I have no idea if one unlocked or such, because the scenes don't show during a fight so I am unsure if I'm possibly unlocking one or not.

  2. Can I transfer my file previous version to this version?

    1. It would be best not to, but you can try (it's probably gonna cause some bugs)

    1. Make sure you're not reusing saves from the previous version. And also, do not change the difficulty of the game (keep it to normal mode)

  4. Zel's second affinity scene keeps breaking at the end. Castle isn't loading up after I figure the end happens when Zel goes to bathe (which is when it breaks). I've been using a new file so that isn't the issue.

    1. Are you able to skip the scene instead of playing it all the way to the end? (we're still making a lot of changes so stuff like this can still be a little unstable sometimes) (the bug might be a fade out that doesn't fade the screen back in cause I fixed a few of those in this month's update...)

      Delete
    2. I have no idea how to skip scenes that haven't been seen before. As the screen goes to fade out it shows an image of what I assume is an overblown Lief, and Soren.

      Another note; Zel doesn't appear in the milking stalls at all. So I've had to take him off it then put him back on so I could get the sex training scenes.

      Delete
    3. Press escape twice, it should allow you to skip it. The bug with the oversized Leif and Zel in the milking room should be fixed in the current patreon update (which will be the next free update)

    4. kk, also the Push command you can equip to your characters does nothing but give the unit using it exp. It doesn't move the target ally like it says it does.

      Delete
    5. Yep, that's a bug that was reported this week so the fix will be in the new build I'm pushing out tomorrow on patreon ;)

      Delete
  5. Where do I find Sorren's last affinity?
