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:

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)

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:

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

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:

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!

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

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!
