New Weekly Release: v0.60!

By Jove, we've reached our 60th release, which is a nice, tidy number to make public by my reckoning.
Next week, a polished up version of this build goes live, featuring all of chapter 6. MAYBE it's an omen that chapter 6 releases on version 60--I don't know. I'm just here to deliver the goods.

What this means, in full, is that version 0.61 will go live for weekly AND alpha patrons next week to ensure all patron builds are still ahead of the game.

With that out of the way, feast your eyeballs upon the patch notes, and enjoy the latest build.

Best,

Nym

New Weekly Build: v0.63!

Hi folks, we're back with another build this week--the last one before all the holiday madness! Builds WILL resume over the holidays, so you'll have plenty to do through the new year.

Chapter 7 is well under way, and we're beginning work on an entirely new continent: Grey Clarion, home of the nomadic and isolated harps.

This week's build gets a lot of new things started, but it also goes back and adds some nice touches to the debug room (accessible to Old Salt patrons and above), something we've been neglecting for a little while. Now you'll be able to unlock every scene in the game, even if you didn't choose a certain path or don't have certain characters unlocked, etc.

New Weekly Build & Art Announcement

The patch notes for the latest weekly build are below, and we're happy to say that they are cool and good, but we have an even more important announcement to make.

We have decided to bring an artist onto our team, so for the last two weeks, we've been in long and sometimes excruciating talks with dozens of qualified people, trying to find someone who is the right combination of available, talented, affordable and invested in the project, which is a sort of modern holy grail of attributes.

That said, we have made some progress. Not so much progress that we can announce a name and a time, but enough that we feel confident in announcing that our search is fully under way and that we've narrowed it down to a few potentials.

That said, nothing is set in stone, and if you know someone who you feel is right for the job, now is a very good time to pass that information along.

Version 0.66 - 1-11-2019

• Added a new cove event in Ch. 7
• Added a new toy to Wulfhilde’s tier 3 workshop: The Cathedral

• Added a new illustration to the Sparkling Plug scene
• Added rooms to the second floor of the cove dormitories
• There is now a new, duplicate cove area that players switch to after Ch. 7
  • (This was necessary because events have a 20 page cap, and this cap had been exceeded on a growing number of NPCs. Now I can start fresh and help keep organized.)
  • There is also a new duplicate cove tavern
• The first cove upgrade now correctly costs funds from Mercy’s stash
• Upgrading the throne room now correctly costs funds
• Updated the scene library with all recent scenes
• Fixed an issue where cove images could overlay during cutscenes
• Fixed an issue where combat read “she could not escape” even when controlling Marlan
• Fixed a number of typos and text alignment issues
• Fixed some misaligned item sprites

 

[IndoorMinotaur]

New Weekly Build: v0.67!

Another week, another update to Daughter of Essence for our patrons!

This one packs in a lot of new content in the cove, including tons of new character dialogue and a lot of that big, juicy story progression we've been building up to for a couple of updates.

It's been fun fleshing out the characters at home, so to speak, and there's plenty more where that came from in the future.

On the artist front, we've tentatively narrowed our focus down to one very promising candidate, and we'll update you as soon as everything's official. Let me just say... Audrey and I are very excited and optimistic about the future.

That's it for me tonight--see you soon!

New Build: v0.68!

Hey folks, just wrapped up the latest weekly build, which takes the big leap of expanding the world east, in preparation for the next big adventure.

As I might have mentioned already, we've also settled on a long-term artist (whose work is featured above), and we'll get around to making introductions once everything is finalized.

It's going to be good. At least, I'm pretty sure it's going to be good. I'm like 94% positive that it's going to be good, and those are the kinds of odds I like to bet on. Daughter of Essence has come a long way since we launched this Patreon, and the game has nowhere to go but up from here. And that's damn well where we plan on taking it.

Version 0.69, Dude (Weekly & Alpha)

At long last, after many hard months, we have arrived at version 0.69. To commemorate this occasion, naturally, we had to implement a new, thematically-appropriate NSFW scene.

But beyond the number of the build, this week marks another major occasion! After a few weeks of teasing and insinuation, we're finally pleased to OFFICIALLY welcome our new artist to the project long-term!

Her name is Numinox, or Numi for short, and she will be helping us with our art assets for the foreseeable future, so I hope you'll welcome her aboard and look forward to seeing what she contributes to the game! She's very talented and brings a cool style of art that Audrey and I think will fit in really nicely.

New Weekly Build, Version 0.70!

Here's the latest weekly build, in all its Frankenstein glory.

I worked on a lot of different bits and pieces this week, some of which weren't finished in time for version 0.70, so there are a few placeholders in there for now. Thus is the life of a dev who puts out a build every week, though, so y'all are used to that by now.

Even considering the works in progress, it's still a nice little build with some very oft-requested "features" snuck in there. It's a bit of a secret scene for now, so I won't spoil the fun.

Hello everyone, hope you had a great Valentine's Day this year, and if you didn't, don't panic: there's still time for a little date with Mercy this weekend in the latest release.

It seems like someone should say "good work" for the fairly regular progress over last few months, so... good work.

New Weekly Build: v0.72!

Hi everyone, hope you're well and excited for the weekend. As is our custom, we have some CHOICE entertainment options you might consider integrating into your weekend activity list.

The art in our header is courtesy of Indoor Minotaur's newly contracted artist-in-resident, Numinox. We hope you like it, because there'll be plenty more where that came from going forward.

Next week, I'll be taking a little break from advancing the primary narrative to start tackling more SIDE-QUESTS and optional or secret content. This kind of stuff really gets me going, so I'm excited about it and hope you are as well.

New Weekly & Alpha: v0.73!

Hi everyone!

We're pleased to present the latest weekly & alpha build, version 0.73!

In fact, in much the same way that a Robert Frost poem might, this build diverges along two paths: one with additional features that is NOT compatible with old save files, and one without those additional features that IS compatible with old save files.

These builds will be very explicitly notated, so you don't have to worry about getting the wrong one. However, if you're not far along with your save, haven't tried the game yet or are even considering starting over from scratch with new decisions and a new build, you'll definitely want to pick up version 0.73.1.

The final consideration is that at some point down the line, the old save compatible versions will stop. It's simply too much work preparing two very different builds every week, but I didn't want to cut everyone off cold turkey. That just seemed rude. My current approximate deadline for that is with the public launch of chapter 7, which is still many weeks away.

I hope you understand! And without further ado, the patch notes (for both releases):

Version 0.73.1 - 3-1-2019 (New Game Required)

• Mercy and Orus can both equip two accessories
• Equipment types Orus can’t equip no longer appear
• Added new categories for better inventory organization

Version 0.73 (Old Save Compatible)

• Added a new NSFW scene! (Beatrix, Toy, Futa)
• Added a hunter’s campsite to the overworld
• Added new treasure to the overworld
• Added all new Ch. VII Esterholt content
• Added more progression clues to the siblings portion of Ch. VII
• Added new cooking recipes
• Fixed a sink tile error
• Fixed an issue where you can leave Fort Wilkes without your crew
• Fixed some typos
• Fixed an issue where Beatrix’s direction was incorrectly locked
• You can now cook in the Esterholt manor oven
• You can no longer hear the sea from inside the cove dormitories

New Release: v0.74!

Happy release day, everyone! Same as last week, it's split between two builds (to continue for a little while longer): one that is compatible with ALL old saves, and one that requires a v0.73 save or newer.

The old save compatible versions will be phased out eventually--probably once I wrap chapter 7 up and make it public. I wish there was a way around this, but alas. I'll make sure to ease the pain somehow.

Also, if you haven't yet, check out our brand new trailer here:

New Release: Version (Fallout/Soldier) 0.76!

Hi, everyone! This week's build, version 0.76, is the patron release of what will eventually become the next public build, which means it's not far off!

This ALSO means the save compatible grace period is approaching its gruesome end. I expect support for old save files will end around after version 0.78, so apologies in advance for that.

New Weekly & Alpha Release: v0.77!

Hello! This week "officially" concludes chapter 7 and begins chapter 8, although I still have a few loose ends I'd like to tie off before I can remove those quotation marks.
