Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension weekly update

First of all, happy holidays to everyone! This week's update and next week's update post may be delayed due to holiday season but I'm still making progress on the games in my little corner xP.

Palestra:

Natsu's last scene and the writing is now done. Next weekend, I will start tackling his contest moves!

Dreadlord Ascension:

With Seilon's affinity complete, I can now focus on the next step which will be making the tileset for his hero challenge map and continue the needed assets for his update. As it is so far, we've made a lot of progress on him!

Palestra:

Was waiting a bit before doing the update post as I wanted the poll to get some more time (3 options were really close so I was waiting to see if anything would change). With a full week of the poll being open, Natsu gets to have another update. This new update should be his last update to conclude the character. (This means milking and contest moves)

Dreadlord Ascension:

For Dreadlord Ascension I've been working on finishing up Seilon's affinity scene assets and I can safely say that a preview for him will be available at the start of January as part of the DA package!

 

Palestra update

 A new Palestra version is available! You can download it from the Palestra page!

With this new update, it is now possible to finish the Katakura Town Quest! To start it, you must have finished Yuu, Souma and Ritsuka's quests. Also, to trigger the first event, it's important for Shirou and Ritsuka to NOT be working at the brothel. The first event is triggered when entering the bedroom at night.

 

Changelogs:

- Added the Katakura Town Quest

- Added a new trader accessible once the quest is complete

- Added 3 new outfits

- Added 1 new animation

- Fixed some typos from previous updates

- Fixed Yuu always being at maximum value when his milking equipment is not removed

- Added a new travel crystal which can be used once the Katakura Town Quest has been completed.

Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension weekly update

The next public Palestra update should be on December 10!

Below is a repost of this week's Patreon update

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

Palestra:

I started working on the new sex toy and will have the preview ready for next week!

Dreadlord Ascension:

The new update is now available! You can download it from the update post!

The next update for Dreadlord Ascension should be coming out at the end of January and the content will be continuing the story and making Seilon available as a character!

Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension weekly update

 *below is a repost of this week's patreon update

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

Palestra:

The Palestra poll is over and Clef's underwears as well as the new sex toy won! I will start working on those this week and should have a preview for next week's update!

Dreadlord Ascension:

Testing will be starting on the Discord server this week and if everything goes well, the update should be ready for release next week! Since the update is around the corner, I can show what will be part of this smaller one month update.

Remade arena and minigame:

The arena will now be available to be built again. To build it, you need to have finished the first chapter of Daemonheim. Building the arena will give access to a new minigame where you need to push the opponents off the platform. Should you succeed, they will fall in a pool of semen!

From the arena, you will be able to earn the new Feeble Clothes and gain the materials needed to craft the Rune of Demonic Empowerment, allowing you to skip hero challenges that would prove too hard for your taste.

 

Hero Challenge skip:

As mentioned above, we are adding a new item to skip hero challenges you would find too hard. Once a stage has been skipped/completed. You can freely skip the stage at not cost to watch the winning cutscene. Do note that the cutscene before the fight will be skipped if you use the skip option, so we encourage you to at least try hero challenges once before skipping.

Hypno dates:

Hypno dates are new type of "missions". Each character is getting one and normally, these missions are used to know more about the characters by asking them questions. As Cervius talks with them, the characters will fall into a trance which will allow Cervius to ask more... daring questions to reveal their secrets.

Completing a hypno date will award a small amount of relationship the first time it is done. It can be replayed again to ask questions you couldn't ask the first time, but it will only give the relationship once. Hypno dates also take place after a world's story, which means that Haiden's hypno date might feel a little out of place (it will be pushed to the end of Dregan we're done adding that world).

2 New event scenes:

Two new event scenes with CGs are being added. One with Kevlan, Cervius, Asker and Leif. The other with Soren and Fenris. We hope you'll enjoy them!

Remade Asker's hero challenge:

Asker's hero challenge felt too hard and punishing for an early game hero challenge, so we remade it. We shortened the map by making it smaller and we also added some tiles on which either Asker or Cervius can stand on to boost  their resistance to magic when facing Enravel.

Feeble Clothes:

Feeble Clothes are unlocked by winning the first time with a character in the arena. When this is unlocked, characters will now have a small animation with their clothes tearing up when their HP falls below 50% in combat. Should you want to disable this animation, this can be done in the equipment main menu.

New Palestra version available and weekly news

 V1.59 is now available on the Palestra page. Here are the changes coming with this new Palestra update:

Changelogs v1.59

- Yuu's quest can now be completed

- Can now acquire Yuu's and Mika's underwears for the MC

- Added Yuu's cow outfit, dick cage and contest underwear

- Added a new random event for Shirou and Souma

- Added Shirou's brothel outfit

- Added Yuu's contest moves

- Fixed a bug with the replay for Megaman's first scene

- Fixed a bug when trying to sell Reki's semen bottles

- Fixed some typos

 

 

**Below is a repost of this week's patreon updates

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

 

Palestra:

New update for Palestra is out! The update adds 3 new underwears for Natsu as well as a new toy for Kirito.

The poll is up to pick the next update and as was mentioned before, the next update will also be similar to this new update. However, after this one, we're going back to the normal schedule of progressing the characters left in the game! 

Dreadlord Ascension:

This week, i've been working a lot on creating the visuals for the characters that will be coming after the Dregan chapter is over. I always create character a lot of time ahead in order to really flesh them out in a way I like them over time. I'm not quite ready to show them yet, but maybe I'll have something before the end of the month.

 

New Dreadlord Ascension version

Today, I released a new and official demo version for Dreadlord Ascension. Compared to the last public version, this new update has many, many changes and improvements. You should also be able to use your save from the previous public version. Furthermore, should you play the demo version, you can also transfer those saves to the patreon version.

Aside from updating the Dreadlord Ascension version, I also updated the page with character sheets and new information.

This should be the last public version available for Dreadlord Ascension. From now on, the new versions will be available exclusively to patrons. On the flipside, Palestra updates will pick up the pace and will come out once every month from now on!

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!

Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension weekly update

 This month a new Dreadlord Ascension public update will be released towards the end of the month.

 

Below is a repost of this week's patreon update.

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

Palestra:

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!

Dreadlord Ascension:

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).

Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension weekly update

 **This is a repost of this week's patreon update

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

Palestra:

As planned, I started on the Natsu/Gray CG. Since Natsu had a clear winning option, I started with him. This means you can still vote for which outcome will happen when Gray wins as two options are fairly close to one another!

Dreadlord Ascension:

Since we're a little ahead of schedule for Haiden's update, I started working on Seilon's stuff which will be the second recruitable character in Dregan. For October's package, I plan to have Haiden's new portraits as well as the torn clothes and the missing previous character portraits be part of the package. However, if time allows, I might also put in the WiP of Seilon's affinity scene animations! ^^

Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension weekly update

 

*This is a repost of this week's patreon update

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

Palestra:

Natsu wins this round for the next Palestra update! For his update, I plan to continue his story by adding Gray to the arena the same way Sting can be fought. However, before starting to work on this, I am holding two new polls! These polls will decide how they will each defeat their opponent should they win!

Dreadlord Ascension:

Haiden's update is well under way. On top of Haiden's story and his unit being part of the update, we are also adding a new room to the castle, the training room! 

In this room, you can give training regimen to characters. There are 3 different regimens, XP, skills and SP. This will come in handy to train any new character you come across as you explore worlds in the future so make sure to build it and make good use of it!

If given enough time, another room we want to look at as part of this update, is the arena. In its current form, it doesn't serve much purpose and with the added work from the other rooms, it no longer is possible to make HD sprite animations as they are really time consuming. Our goal will be to replace the rewards for something that can be made for all characters in a reasonable amount of time.

Our current idea is to make two rewards for the arena:

1- The currency with which you can craft stage skipping items in the hero challenges. (This may not be implemented in the next update but is in our current plans)

2- A new visual battle option which you can unlock for each separate character, the feeble clothes. Enabling feeble clothing for a character will play a quick animation in battle whenever a character's HP falls below 50* for the first time. The option can be toggled on or off at the beginning of battle to suit player preferences.

If we manage to implement the second option in the next update, every character will have the feeble clothing option. (the name for the option isn't definitive)

New Palestra public version and weekly update

This new update adds two new scenes as well as a new outfit for Megaman. While the update can be played fairly quickly, there are two new CGs included in it! You can download the new update from the Palestra page!

Changelogs:

- Fixed a bug with Reki and Souma's event (Reki's portrait being misplaced at the end of the event)

- Added new events to Megaman's story

- Added two new CGs

- Added a new outfit for Megaman (with an additional variant)

Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension weekly update

Palestra:

New update is now available! You can check out the update post to download it. The new Palestra poll is also now available.

Dreadlord Ascension:

Since Haiden's update is already well under way, we're going to try and add another new room to the castle. This time, the room would be the Training Room. This room will allow you to assign characters to gain XP, SP and skills. I should have a preview for the room next week!

Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension weekly update

 Below is a repost of this week's patreon update

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

Palestra:

The writing for Palestra is done and I started working on the needed CG for this update, everything should be ready on time for next week's release!

Dreadlord Ascension:

Just pushed out some new bugfixes (now version 0.8.3), you can download the new version from the Dreadlord Ascension post.

With this new version basically done, we're going to start tackling the next update. For the october update, our goal is to put Dregan back in with a completely revamped story. With this new update, the goal is also to add Haiden as a fully recruitable characters. This will be our first new character since Alastor, it's about time someone new joins the group haha!

New Dreadlord Ascension version

The new version of Dreadlord Ascension remakes the entire early game and changes the whole pacing of the game. This means this version requires a fresh save, but we're now committing to this new version as we're really happy with how it's working even if it needs more polish to get to the point we want.

You can download the game from the Dreadlord Ascension page

Known bugs: 

- Soren or other characters sometimes not refreshing properly. Like after crafting gifts or after you give them their prismind to train them (reloading the game should fix the issue)

- In Asker's hero challenge, it's not possible to go through the middle door (you can use the corridors instead)

V0.7.2 Changelogs:

- Nerfed Enravel's resistance to make him more vulnerable to magic damage

- Added the scenes to the scrying pool (character with scenes between each other will need to get the necessary affinity to trigger the scene)

- A bug with Cervius unable to take action should be fixed

- Fixed a bug where Cervius can no longer use refresh if his support skill was changed

- The "Milking" option does not work when talking to characters in the milking room. This is intentional and is there for the future milking minigame

Notable additions:

- Remade the affinity story for Leif and Asker

- Added the first version of the adventure board to send heroes on adventures

- Added the first version of the conquest map

- Added the sex training minigame for all the characters

- Added the defeated scenes for the Radian characters

- Added the hero challenges for Radian

If you have any feedback or bugfixes to report, you are always welcome to do so in the comments below! Thank you for your support!

 

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

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

Palestra:

For Palestra, since Red's Choice won, I decided to go for a little bit of everything for everyone in the poll. Clef's quest will have a new CG involving Tatsumi and all other characters in the poll will receive a new garment to wear.

Dreadlord Ascension:

The new update for Dreadlord Ascension is ready! Most of the week was dedicated to preparing the new update, but I've also been making the animations for next week's sprite package. Also, I a made some major changes to one of Dregan character, Ayers. 

Since I really like how he's looking now, he may keep the same appearance from now on minus some changes I might do his lantern. I hope you like the new changes I've made!

The next update for Dreadlord Ascension should be in october, and if everything goes well, Haiden will become a new recruitable character. He should also have his affinity and sex training scenes. (do keep in mind, those will take place after the Dregan story so it might feel a little odd at first like it was for Radian.)

Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension weekly update

This is a repost of this week's patreon update

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

Palestra:

With the new poll for this month over, the winner is "Red's Choice", this means I may do what I feel like doing for this month. I already started work on the update, beginning with improvements to Tatsumi's portraits because he needed it pretty badly x)

Dreadlord Ascension:

For Dreadlord Ascension, I've been doing a lot of writing to prepare for the update after the one releasing next week. Next week's update will be the first chapter of the main story while the one in October will be the new Dregan story, starting with Haiden's hero challenge.

Unlike Radian, Dregan's story was too complex and couldn't be condensed like Radian's so characters will have on average two cutscenes and one stage.

Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension weekly update

Dreadlord Ascension will receive a new update on the 27th for the public version!

**This is a repost of this week's patreon update

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

Hey there! I didn't have an update to share last week because liked a lot of people I got caught up in a... certain game haha but well, now we're back into it!

Palestra:

The new update is out! This update introduces Clef. At first, I wanted to also introduce the new town, but as I was planning out that part of the story, it was hard to justify some of the stuff I wanted for the story, so I switched stuff around and now, you meet Clef before entering the last town.

The poll for the next update is now available and should Clef win, he will now get his first scene xP.

Dreadlord Ascension:

The next update is well on its way and should be ready in time for the end of this month (on the 27th). We added a new event between Asker and Fenris and we're also working on a story scene with Soren!

Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension weekly update

*This is a repost of this week's patreon update

 

Palestra:

With the next Palestra update, an old character is making a comeback. With the next story update, Clef will be able to join your harem. He is Whiteblade's main character and my very first OC with an updated design. You will now be able to get him in the harem.

Dreadlord Ascension:

The next Dreadlord Ascension should be coming out at the end of August. Since I now have the text all done and ready for the game, I will be focusing on putting together the update in Godot with Threeclaws's help! I hope you're looking forward to Daemonheim's first chapter!

Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension weekly update

Palestra:

As voted by patrons, the next update will continue the main story! I can't say for sure there will be a new CG (I don't think i'll be able to for this update since I'll handle other stuff needed for the update) but you will be able to meet a "new" character!

 

Dreadlord Ascension:

This week, I worked on two things:

1- I will be adding a proper map to the conquest mode for a first layer of polish. In this map, you will be able to see a glimpse of Cervius's territory!

2- The second item on the list is Haiden's animation! I managed to finish the last part of Haiden's affinity scene and it will be sent at the beginning of next month as part of the package! In the meantime, here's a little preview of it :P

New Palestra version available and weekly update

 A new version (v1.57) can be downloaded from the Palestra page. Here are the changelogs for this update:

Changelogs v1.57:

- Fixed a bug with the exp gained from the brothel (xp will now be awarded when characters are removed from their position in the brothel)

- Fixed some typos

- Fixed a bug with Aeyan's portrait

- Fixed a bug with Hiro's portrait

- Fixed a bug with Roxas's bottle

- Added Reki's final update (1 CG scene, 3 new portraits, milking, contest moves, etc.)

The new version for Palestra is now available! You can refer to the update post for a list of changes! The poll to pick the next update is also available!

Dreadlord Ascension:

I've been silent last week about updates because I was busy writing and there wasn't much to talk about. However, with the writing all done for the first chapter, I can now resume working on visual stuff!

One part I've been working on is Haiden's last animation for his affinity but it's not quite ready to be shown. However, I want this last animation to be part of the August package!

Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension news

 **This is a repost of this week's patreon update

Palestra:

For the next update, I will have time to do what I had in mind as a little extra. Basically, I will be adding a sex toy for Natsu. When you first use it on him, he will be "connected" to it and afterwards, you can use the toy either during the night or day and something will happen!

Dreadlord Ascension:

First of all, thank you for the bug reports we've had so far for the new version. We haven't released a new version yet because the combat bug is proving harder to find/fix than anticipated.

However, on the side, we've made progress on the milking minigame. Now that we have something playable, I will be fixing some of the assets and then make the sprites for all usable characters!

 

Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension update (New version!)

 Dreadlord Ascension:

A new build is publicly available for Dreadlord Ascension! (v.0.6.0)

For this update, you can reuse saves from the previous version. However, know that for the next version (v0.7.1+) you will need to start anew, however, the pacing will have been shortened and will include new features.

You can download the new update from the Dreadlord Ascension page.

Changelogs (v0.6.0):

- in combat skills/weapons can be clicked in the status window to see more details about them

- the combat speed will now affect both player and enemy phase

- Added the first Dregan chapter

- Added the two events that were voted in the polls previously (Zel, Cervius, Soren / Leif, Shade, Cervius)

- Added the first level for the pleasure room with 4 worker slots

- reduced the selling price for most items but increased the cum market prices significantly

- added a new skill encyclopedia for Dregan in the shop

 

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

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

Palestra:

I start with the next update. It's not gonna be a big one because DA has eaten up a lot of time but I do have a corruption outfit for Natsu done! For the rest of the update, there should be two new NSFW frames and if time allows, I want to try making a little extra thing but I'm keeping it secret for now in case I don't have time for it xP

Dreadlord Ascension:

The next update is now available and we should have another update soon with more bugfixes. This weekend, I should also have a package with two new sprite animations for Haiden!

Small Update delay

 

Just a little heads up as we're trying to fix and polish the new version a bit, I decided to delay the update by 1 or 2 days just so we can fix as many bugs as possible before we deliver the update. Thank you for your patience!

Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension weekly update (+ Pal new version)

A new version for Palestra is now available. You can download it from Palestra's page.

Changelogs:

- Fixed a few typos from the previous update

- Fixed a bug where Tael could appear without giving a notification

- Added Ragna as a possible guest

- Added Hiro as a possible guest

 

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

Palestra:

New update is now available! This update introduces a new side daily activity for Natsu but this time with Sting! The poll for the following update is now also available. All I can say for now is that the next update will be a content and features update!

Dreadlord Ascension:

The next update should be coming next week! This week, we will focus on playtesting to get the update ready in this new update, you will have the following new features:

- Training minigame (currently the minigame should be where the character is standing, but when ready, we will be putting a training mat in the bedroom where this minigame will take place.)

- Adventure board (The amount of adventures will be fairly limited at first, but we will add more over time)

- Conquest map (The map is really simple at the moment but we will develop this further)

- Hero traits (The selection of traits is really limited at first, but again, we will be expanding on these)

- Scrying pool (This will be used to ease up the random scenes process happening in the castle and will be adding more scenes as time goes on)

- Hero defeated scenes

For now, there will also be some features absent from the previous version and features we are planning to put in later:

- Milking minigame

- Semen market (We decided to push that one back as to reduce a bit the amount of tutorials at the beginning of the game. However, since it will be tied into the main story, we couldn't include it in just yet)

- Bedroom decorating (more details on this later, but since the training will be taking place in the bedroom, we want to make this space customizable by the player. I've slowly started making assets for this but it may not be ready for a few more updates)

- Arena (We're reworking the arena completely. We're not sure how just yet, but I decided not to go forward with the HD animations for the arena because they are too time consuming on top of everything else I need to do in the castle)

Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension weekly update

**This is a repost of the Patreon update however, the free Dreadlord Ascension update will come out at the same time as the Patreon one!

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

Palestra:

All the assets are now complete for the next Pal update! This means the Palestra update should be ready for next weekend!

Dreadlord Ascension:

Same as Palestra, pretty much all the assets are now ready for the next update. However, we have some work left to do to put everything ingame and especially do the playtesting.

If everything goes well, the update should still be coming out one week after the Palestra update. (June 25th)

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

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

Palestra:

I'm making big progress on the Palestra update, however, since I want to put everything I have in mind as part of a single update, I'm going to delay the update by one week. (so it should come out on June 18th). This also means that the next update is going to be a content and features update.

In the meantime, here's a preview of the first scene of two part of the next update which adds Sting!

Dreadlord Ascension:

For Dreadlord Ascension, we're also making good progress on the update! All the hero challenges dialogues are now ingame and this week I will focus on putting in the new affinity and summon scenes for the Radian characters. This will only leave the Daemonheim story afterwards.

Also, we now have the first minigame working! It still needs some adjustments, but the base is there!

The second minigame (milking) will not be part of this update, it will be added later.

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

Palestra:

Doing a quick update before I get back to work on Natsu's update! I started the writing and decided to make something I don't think I'll be able to wrap up in a single update (will need an additional one I think). With this update, I'm adding a scene you can do once per day as a kind of alternative daily activity for Natsu but it involves Sting instead and will have two CGs (most likely only one with the first update). If people like it, I would also add Gray to it xP.

Dreadlord Ascension:

This week, I wrapped up the second closeup for Haiden's affinity scene and also started adding the scenes for the new hero challenges. Next week, I will also start adding the Daemonheim scenes and the missing hero challenge scenes.

Below is a repost of this week's patreon update.

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

Palestra:

To start off, I pushed a new update for the previous version to fix a few bugs. You can download it from the Palestra post.

For the next update, Natsu has won the poll again and I began working on the update. While I plan to finish his portrait tomorrow, you can already see a nice preview of Natsu's second side character!

Dreadlord Ascension:

We're still making progress for the next big update. I now have all the defeated scenes done and the text is basically all written! This week, I'm starting to put the new scenes ingame. However, while I was waiting for the proofreaded text this week, I began working on Haiden's affinity scene!

Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension weekly update

 New update for Palestra is available! You can download the new update from the Palestra page.

Changelogs:

- Fixed some typos in Gray x Alm scene

- Fixed a bug with Gray not properly appearing in the brothel sometimes

- Remade Aeyan and Tael's portraits and added them to the game. (They will only visit if Ragna's story has been completed)

- Added a new NSFW frame you can find by winning a contest with Cervius. (He will award the portrait the first time you win if Sora's story has been completed)

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

Palestra:

New update has been released. You can now get Natsu to be part of your team and the poll to decide the next update is up!

Dreadlord Ascension:

We're still missing some of the writing but we're getting there! As we almost have all the assets we need for the restructure update, we're soon going to tackle putting everything ingame.

Also, since we'll have all the Palestra guys ready, I'm slowly starting work on the first Dregan guy that will be recruitable by making his combat sprites. (He needs more than the previous guys lol)

 

Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension weekly update

*Below is a repost of this week's update

Doing a quick update this weekend, let's get into it!

Palestra:

Most of the assets are now ready and the writing is done! The next step will be to put everything together.

Dreadlord Ascension:

We're making good progress on the next update! I don't have much to show since we've been working a lot on the writing (hero challenges, making the start for Daemonheim (trying to get to the part where Alastor joins but it might take another update for that), the remade affinities and the summon cutscenes).

What I can show, however, is a small preview of a defeated scene CG, so here's part of Zel's drawn by Coco!

 

 

Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension news

Palestra:

Progress on the DA update with Natsu's companion getting a full portrait. Moreover, I want to add another companion who's one of my personal favorite after Natsu in Fairy Tail but I'm not sure I'll have time to add him in this update. I still need to make the writing, Natsu's daily activity and an art asset for the MC milking that was added in the last update.

 

 

Dreadlord Ascension:

 Last week, I mentioned new changes for Dreadlord Ascension, and since the poll was overwhelmingly positive I'm now ready to announce the changes.

Here are the big lines for those changes:

Adventure board and traits:

This new feature would be a board where you can send your servants on adventures. Many rewards would be added to those in order to cut back on the grind and heroes could also gain traits which would influence how they interact with some of the features in the game like battles or worker slots.

Shortened worlds:

Worlds like Radian or Dregan would be significantly shortened and no longer follow the current story format. Instead, we would make hero challenge maps where each completed map would unlock a new hero.

Since those maps would be harder than the story maps, we would also have a craftable item to skip a stage should it prove to be too hard for some players. Additionally, following the feedback we were given, each of those map will include a defeated scene should Cervius fail.

 

 

Most importantly, doing heroes this way would allow us to work on multiple worlds in parallel depending patron preferences instead of doing them linearly.

Daemonheim story:

One of the big points that brought us to consider these changes is how long it would take to progress the story. At the current pace we're going, we would only start to talk about Daemonheim in about 3 years. With those changes, the hero worlds would become shorter side stories to know the heores while Daemonheim would take a more central role. As part of the main story, you would still visit other worlds (like Fenris's world), but those would have a direct impact on the daemonheim story.

Conquest Map:

The conquest map would be a feature mixing both the adventure board and the current strategy turn battles in order to conquer and maintain Cervius's territory.

New training methods:

The training in Dreadlord Ascension would receive additional content. A new minigame in which you can directly train your servants to raise their sex level. Their sex level can also be maintained by putting them in a sex working slot, however, should they abstain from sex work for too long, their level would decrease. It would also be possible to assign characters like Alastor or Fenris to a room and train other servants automatically.

 

 

The other training minigame would be a milking minigame where you get to milk servants manually which can yield a higher number of bottles.

 

 

The changes we want to do would require some time (I'm foreseeing about 2 months which is in line with our regular update schedule). The biggest change here lies in the story, but with this new method, we would be able to explore new worlds and characters much faster and we would be able to focus more the interactions between Cervius and his servants, as well the between the different servants.

 

Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension weekly update

 This week on patreon, I am making a poll to ask patrons for important changes to be made to Dreadlord Ascension, once the poll is over, I will be sharing what those changes are on the blog ;).

 As for Palestra, I released a new build last week which gives a little preview on the next character coming to Palestra, Natsu!

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

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

 Palestra:

Well, I was expecting it, but Natsu won the poll by a landslide haha. I will be starting work on the next update but my biggest question now is who could be paired up with Natsu... guess i'll have to make my pick this week haha!

Dreadlord Ascension:

We're considering big changes for Dreadlord Ascension based on the feedback we received in the last two weeks to improve the pacing of the story and the castle side of the game. You can head over to the big post with all the details to vote on if you want those changes or not.

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

Palestra:

With the coming Ralkyx update, an unforseen guest will make his appearance. I'll only give a hint, but based on that, I'm sure you guys will figure it out instantly! xD

Dreadlord Ascension:

The new update is now available! In this new update, you will find a mission with a new "?" marker on the map. This new mission is optional and a really small preview for the new kind of missions we will be adding from now on. 

Each character will get one and that includes previous characters. We will add them to Radian and you can go back to complete them should you enjoy them.

While Sol's mission doesn't perfectly represent what those new missions will be (for lore reasons), I will explain basically what they are here.

To put it simply, in those missions, Cervius will ask questions to the characters. You have 3 choices with 2 good and 1 wrong choice. The goal is to pick the right answers through 5 levels and reach the end. As you progress, the questions will become more and more personal until Cervius's powers make the characters admit stuff they would never normally talk about.

Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension weekly update

 

A new public for Dreadlord Ascension will be released next weekend! More details will be included in next week's post to go over all the changes.

Below is a repost of this week's patreon update

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

Palestra:

The new update will be the Ralkyx story update. It won the poll by a landslide and not gonna lie, I was expecting it xD. I already did most of the writing for it and now I gotta start on the art!

Dreadlord Ascension:

The new Dreadlord Ascension update should be coming out next week. With this new update, Dregan will be available. While he does not appear in the first chapter, the last major character to be recruitable as part of Dregan will be Seilon!

Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension weekly update

 The new free version for Dreadlord Ascension will be released on March 26th.

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

Palestra:

The new version has been released for Palestra. This update concludes Megaman's quest which means the Ralkyx update now becomes available. The poll will now decide what I work on next!

Dreadlord Ascension:

The new Dreadlord Ascension update is coming and we've already wrapped up most of the cutscenes and battle maps. Since we're well on schedule, I've decided to do some more work on the lust room and I can now show some previews for the worker animations.

Palestra:

Update is ready to be compiled in RPG MV. It will be available next weekend!

Dreadlord Ascension:

The reason this week's update is delayed is because of DA haha. I've been quite busy finishing up the entirety of the Dregan text and it is now done! The next part of the text I need to do will be training and affinity of that world's characters but that's for later.

Since I need to make more moves for the Dregan characters before they are introduced, this month's poll will be about the three characters I have showed so far (the fourth one still needs to be refined a little before I show it off).

I have also been busy on different things I can't show just yet like a new room for the castle (it needs a lot of animations because it's the main sex room but I'm hoping to have it ready in an update or two).

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...

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!
