New Dreadlord Ascension update + weekly news

New update for DA is ready and there's a lot of new stuff in this new version. Of course, there's the new Asker chapter with his affinity and sex training scenes, but there's also more than that. I can't list every change we made because it's a lot of small details, but I'll do a list of stuff I do remember haha.

For this new version, you will need to start over, but I also included some saves with Soren's part already complete to save you guys a bit of time.

Reminder: It is possible your anti virus will detect the game as a threat, but that's normal and fairly common for games made in godot while they are still in development. The game is safe to download.

You can download the new version on the Dreadlord Ascension page.

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

 

Palestra:

For Palestra, I began working on the new update this weekend. Ragna's new design is going along smoothly. I don't expect him to change as much as the other characters since he already had a fairly solid base. However, it is too early to show his new portraits.

Since Ragna already has a few scenes in Palestra and all that. I'm going to treat his new portraits a little differently than Hiro/Tael/Aeyan. Ragna will keep his old portraits as the default ones, but will instead have new portraits added in via outfits. To justify his new looks, I also already have a nice event in mind!


Dreadlord Ascension:

New update is out! Refer to the post for more details on it. We have now reached the point where we've gone beyond the initial version of Dreadlord Ascension and we're almost done with Radian (at least for now!). 

The next update will be Chapter 5 and the last chapter for part 1 of Radian. Part 2 will happen much later down the road.

Right now, we're planning to release Chapter 5 at the end of October. After this update, we will be going over what we've done and do a big polish update. This update should be released by the end of December but could also be released at the end of January depending on how it goes.

The end of the year polish update will also give me time to prepare for Dregan, Cervius's next destination! I will be sharing more information on this when the time comes, but I'm super excited about it and already started the writing on that world's story! xP

    1. make sure to do battles with Zel to unlock his next part (1 battle = 1 part at the moment) and check on the map to find the nodes for his mission because the farther from the nodes you'd have unlocked by now.

  2. Couple of things found so far(not sure if already fixed in a later build). One of Cervius' offensive special's caused a crash for me, and Soren's Dawnbreaker kept playing the animation for the remainder of the fight, along with the sound effect until the scene ended.

    1. Yep! Those should be fixed in the new patreon build (unfortunately won't be fixed in the current one though)

  3. Here a couple of things I’ve encountered so far:
    - Despite being assigned to the milk room, while Leif is there, Asker stands in the Demon Shop. Same thing happens to Zel, Soren and Fenris
    - I know the crafting room is not done, but after playing the minigame, the “Ding” still occurs afterwards
    - After the story plot Nemesis and “beating” Befall the story ends with … heading back to the Twylin Sanctuary no further story point is visible. Does it end here so far or am I missing something?

    1. 1- Interesting, will have to look into this one

      2- We'll fix this one for the next version ;)

      3- I think you're missing Leif's Sex Training to be maxed out. The Twylin Temple has the sex scene to training needs to be done ;)

    2. We're currently fixing some of the bugs, and for additional details, could you tell us if you used an old save, a new save or the save provided in the update?

      Delete
    3. I used the save provided in update, also stuck after Leif survives Befall's battle.

      Delete
    4. Did you max out the sex training for Leif after the fight with Befall?

      Delete
    5. Okay, sex training was what I was missing, thanks!
