Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension weekly update

The post below is a repost of this week's patreon update.

 Palestra:

New update is coming along! This weekend, I cleared all the outfits/underwears in one go for Megaman, Lan and the MC!


Dreadlord Ascension:

More progress on the next update was made and we're aiming to release the first chapter of Dregan as part of the March update. We've added in a bunch of new skills to equip on units (like how we added an encyclopedia for Radian, we're adding a new one for Dregan). 

As you progress in Dregan, you should start hitting the max level (or maybe it already happened with the faction missions). After reaching the max level, the next way to upgrade your units will be through equipped skills.

In the first chapter of Radian, on top of Haiden and Sol, you will meet another character called Ayers.

Ayers is a high ranking member of the Sanguine clan and the most diligent captain of the guards of Pendranith. Of course, Mr. Captain would not expose himself to anyone but if you'd like to see a sneak peak of what Ayers is hiding, look no further than below...

Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension weekly update

 

The update below is a repost of this week's patreon post

===================================================


Palestra:
The poll was really close this month. However, Red's Choice managed to pull ahead and with this, I decided to pick Megaman for the next update. I will be wrapping up his story, doing the contest moves, training and everything that normally goes with the final update.
Upon finishing Megaman, I will finally be able to suggest the Ralkyx update in the polls!
 
Dreadlord Ascension:
For this week, I will not be showing the new character just yet. However, I can show some new content for Haiden which is a preview for Haiden's first sprite animation.
I am currently working on the second one and will make them both available as part of next month's package!

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

Palestra:

A new update has been released for Palestra. You can now download it from the related post. The new Palestra poll is also available to pick the next update.


Dreadlord Ascension:

I pushed today a new update with a bug fix for Zel if anyone is stuck for his affinity.


Use of AI:

With Dregan's story, we had a lot of NPCs and since we're already quite busy preparing for the new world, I decide to use an AI to create the NPC portraits. NPCs are most likely the only place where I'll ever use an AI since creating all those faces is a lot of work for little payoff. I do however make edits to the AI portraits to keep them fairly in line with what we have in mind. Here are a few examples:

Haiden:

Follow last week's preview of Sol, this week we have Haiden! Among the 4 Dregan characters, Haiden is the only one able to turn into a full fledged dragon. He is also an adept at magic, using his sword as a catalyst to launch spells in quick succession.

Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension weekly update

 Palestra:

A new public update is coming next week at the same time I'm releasing the new patreon build.

 

Dreadlord Ascension:

Since the current public has many issues, I uploaded some save files where pretty much everything should be completed. All missions and cutscenes can be replayed so you can use this to see anything you might have missed.


*Below is a repost of this week's Patreon update.


Palestra:

New update is coming along nicely! I now have 4 NSFW frames on hand and all the new outfits drawn! With all the visual stuff done, I can start assembling everything in RPG Maker. The update will be available next week on Sunday!


Dreadlord Ascension:

I released some new animations (1 for Alastor and 1 for Leif/Shade). The package is available for download.

A new update is available for Dreadlord Ascension with some additional bugs fixed. Since I was working on the animations earlier in Godot, I also included them in the new build for Dreadlord Ascension while I was at it. If you find anymore bugs, please do report them in the comments! :D

Concerning the next pixel animations, I may not do a poll this month because I would start making pixel animations for the Dregan characters as I will need them soon enough. Instead, I might make another event poll like last month.



For the Dreadlord Ascension update in March, Cervius will be moving on to the next world, Dregan! The story of Dregan will revolve around a tournament between the 8 dragon clans taking place in Pendranith, Dregan's capital city.

As Cervius arrives in this world, he quickly meets Sol, a dragon and member of the Phantasm clan.

As an extra little preview, here's a sneak peak at what all these pieces of cloth are hiding :P
