**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

Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension weekly update

The next Dreadlord Ascension update will be released this month, which means this month's free update will be a new public Dreadlord Ascension release!

As for Palestra, if you're currently progressing in the game, you can take a look at the new wiki made by Arky! It's pretty handy for finding stuff and I will be putting the link on the main Palestra page too.

Also, I don't think I showed it before on the blog, but I finished Zel's arena animation earlier this month, here's a preview for it xP

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

Palestra:

Palestra's new update is now available for download. In this new update, you can now complete Katakura Town's quest which means the only one left is Ralkyx before the final small town!

If you're looking to progress through the game to catch up to the latest update, you can use a new wiki that was made by Arky!

Dreadlord Ascension:

For Dreadlord Ascension we've begun playtesting and bugfixing the new update and the game feels quite different with all the new updates and improvements!

Also, since I wasn't doing the sprite animation poll this month (I'm still making 1 animation for Leif and Alastor), I instead made a poll to pick which new events you would like to see being added. 

I don't want all the events to be NSFW stuff so I can make more interactions between the characters and so I made two separate polls. I can't wait to see which option wins! xP

 

Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension weekly update

Palestra:

I'm almost done with the animation I showed last week. As soon as I'm done with this, I'm jumping into RPG Maker to finish up the update. The release will be on Sunday next weekend!

Dreadlord Ascension:

We are nearing the playtesting phase for the new update and we're hoping everything goes smoothly x). Once this is done, we can add the finishing touches and the update should be ready in time for the end of the month!

Taking a look at the current state of the animations for DA, I also noticed how little Leif/Shade and Alastor have in terms of sprite animations and so I will be making one of for each of them this month instead of doing the usual poll.

Palestra and Dreadlord Ascension weekly update

Happy new year! Here's to another year of work on the ongoing games! :D

 

 *Below is a repost of this week's update

Palestra:

Like in the Castle Town quest, a new outfit style will become available after the Katakura Town quest. This one is a little simpler but it's an outfit style a lot of people wanted a while ago so i hope you will enjoy them!

Shirou, Ritsuka and Yuu will all 3 receive the dog/wolf outfit!

Dreadlord Ascension:

For Dreadlord Ascension, we have been working on another new little feature which I think some of you will appreciate!

I'm not sure if this feature will stick to the current room, but from now on, when you upgrade the throne room, you will be unlocking a dick chart!

You can unlock additional information for the chart when training the characters.

With the chart, you can also get a few descriptive lines and change between the different shapes. (like Cervius's or Fenris's Essence Incarnation)
