Dreadlord and Palestra weekly update

 The new public Dreadlord Ascension update will be coming out in a few days. Since we're making a demo out of it, we want to make sure it works as best as it can before we push it out.


Below is a repost of this week's patreon udpate

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

Palestra:

This week, I made the three underwears for Natsu. Next week, I should have the writing and the toy done! 

Dreadlord Ascension:

New update is out with version 0.9.5! All of this week was spent on bugfixing for the new version and we did a LOT of it! Hope you enjoy this new version with Haiden!

Weekly game news

 This is a repost of this week's patreon update

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

Before I start off, I wanted to say a big thank you to all of you who are supporting me whether it's through a sub, sharing or even commenting!

Palestra:

The poll is now closed and the winners are new underwears for Natsu, and a new sex toy! I will be starting on those this week and should be able to show something next week. Also, if you want to suggest ideas about the underwears or the sex toy, I will be taking them on the Discord Server or in the comments below! 

Dreadlord Ascension:

Really busy week on Dreadlord Ascension this week as I am preparing this month's update. During my testing, I reviewed the beginning of the game with a fresh perspective and found some transitions lacking and so I have added a few small scenes here and there and made adjustments. However, you will be able to continue your game as is. There is no need to start over, those changes are mostly focused on providing a better early game.

Should you want a reminder, here are the big lines for the next week's update:

- Dregan as a new world

- Haiden as a recruitable character

- A new faction related to Dregan in the reception room

- Haiden's affinity scenes (like Radian, those happen after Dregan's story. As such, it may feel odd with the story at first, but also I don't want you guys to wait half a year until it becomes available.)

- Haiden's sex training scenes

- Sex training scenes are now unlocked only if the room where the sex training is taking place has been built (mostly milking and pleasure room)

- A new special cutscene to build the pleasure room. (players who have already built the room can still do the event)

- The new training room. This training room allows you to get experience, SP or learn skills even if characters are not part of battles.


Aside from the new update, I have also begun working on the next sprite animations from the poll. The winners are:

- Alastor: cervius copycat

- Seilon: wall exposition


If time allows, I would like to make two variations for this animation. The first, Cervius summons another servant to take care of Seilon after he had his turn. A second, where Cervius fucks Seilon over and over until his shirt tears open from his belly being too full xP.


Whiteblade:

As I said last week, we're at a point where we're exploring ideas for Palestra and we're going to start testing what we can do with the game. We won't have any playable version or anything at least until Palestra is over (I want to focus on the current games as much as possible). Still, this doesn't stop me from sharing what we do want to do for Whiteblade. Buckle up, because this might get long haha!

To start off, we want Palestra to be a smaller scale game and easier than DA to approach. (DA is a FE style game which I know isn't for everyone but it's something I really wanted to make) To this end, we plan to make Whiteblade a turn by turn RPG much like the first game, that much we're pretty sure.

However, we're changing a lot of stuff from the first game. For one, the story will keep a similar structure but will be remade to better fit the new game. Familiar characters like Aeyan, Hiro, Ragna, Tael and Clef will still appear.

However, the game will have a much bigger focus on Clef. We plan to have Clef be the only playable character and as you venture out of town, you will only play Clef. This change is to make sure we're not too restricted with the combat because the thing I really want to make are erotic moves during combat. (Think Clef being assaulted by tentacles or Clef giving a blowjob to an hostile demon)

What would be the roles for the side characters then? They would become companions you can have relationship with and deepening that relationship, doing activities with them or the likes would allow Clef to unlock nodes in the skill tree.

The skill tree would be the biggest change from the previous Whiteblade game. Through this, you would be able to unlock new dialogue options, new erotic moves, new skills, new appearances and the likes. With some nodes you would be able to pick options (give Clef a bigger, or smaller dick. Make him more dominant, or more submissive, etc.)

Some nodes, however, wouldn't be compatible with each other, but it would still give more options to customize Clef!

As you can see in one of the nodes above, we want to make Clef able to fuse with the side characters. Each fusion would change Clef's appearance in some way and could also add new dialogues as he borrows their powers! This is the whiteblade skill I was never able to get to in the initial game but this time, it would come into play muuuch earlier in the game.

This is already getting long and I don't want to show too much just yet as it may still change! Still, I hope you will like what we have to show as we slowly develop it. Thank you so much again for your support and see you guys next week for the new DA update!

Future plans for Palestra, Dreadlord Ascension and Whiteblade

Concerning the public updates, a new Dreadlord Ascension update is planned for November, however, this version will now act as the demo version for Dreadlord Ascension and no new free updates are planned to be released after this.

For Palestra, however, I want to make the full game available for free at some point and so, starting in November, Palestra will go back to receiving one update every month.

I will still post public updates every week about the progress on any game. Also, to announce it ahead of time, I plan for Whiteblade to follow a similar pattern to DA. (releasing free updates until we find where we want to take the game then make a demo available and develop the game on patreon only afterwards)

 

 

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

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

This week, before I get into the updates, I want to share out plans for November for both Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension. Since Palestra's main updates should be ending next year based on our current plans, this means we need to start thinking about the next game.

As some of you may already know, our plan will be revisit Whiteblade in a completely new way and we need to start working on it to prevent a dead period like what happened when I suddenly stopped working on Mugen. With our current schedule though, it's impossible to fit in development for a new game. As such, we're going to scale down Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension but only for a month.

This will give us time to lay some of the groundwork for Whiteblade but also give me time to work on some future updates for Dreadlord Ascension.

For Palestra in November/December, the updates will most likely be focused on outfits/sex toys, but I will let patrons pick what they want. After December, the updates will come back to how they currently are.

As for Dreadlord Ascension, this month's update will still release at the end of October as planned, then we should also have a smaller update in November that will re-introduce the arena minigame along with the new rewards (tear-able combat clothing) for all characters. This means, however, that the second Dregan update will be coming out in January.

Thank you for understanding and I can't wait to reveal more on the content we've been working on!

Quick update this week. I currently am working on the second CG for Gray/Natsu and the update should be ready in time for next the weekend!

We are now preparing the Haiden update and putting everything ingame. If possible, I would like the bulk of the update to be ready so we can get some testing done. For those who have joined the Discord Server, the update should be available for testing before the 22nd.

Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension weekly update

 This is a repost of this week's patreon update

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

Palestra:

Been doing the writing this week for Palestra and the needed portraits for Gray's arena fight. Next week will be Gray's scene.

Dreadlord Ascension:

Been preparing Seilon's scene some more. I still don't know if it will be part of the next package but next week, I will be releasing said package with at least portraits from the new characters (although, I think I will have time to progress the animation to a point where I can at least show it in the package).
