We continue preparing "Version 0.2" for release on Steam and Next Fest. However, the news is not the brightest. Some of the planned content related to characters and mechanics we won't have time to finish and test properly. Therefore, I made the decision to disable these elements in the demo version. It's better to spend more time polishing them and release the full versions later than to show them in a raw state.

"Version 0.2" will bring a bit of new content: the trading mechanic, the city map, and the "Tavern" location (which will be rather empty for now). Of course, we'll fix this mess in later updates and make everything as it should be. These updates will be released as usual on our Patreon. We also have several new additions planned for this version. For example, a new character who will start one of the main storylines - the Flesh Witch who lives in the swamps. You might have heard of her in Steffa's quest.

And here's what we've done this week: - Continuing to work on the delicious-looking art for the city map and its surroundings;

- Integrated the map into the game, made the tavern "The Last Call" accessible, and added the ability to move between locations; - Started integrating the tavern into the game - now you can visit it at any time and even talk to a few people;

- Continuing to work on the animations for Erzhbet and Miloslava; they will be partially added to the game (without the hot scenes, which will come later); - Animated Rena looking at the notice board in the tavern; - Finished and animated the Innkeeper, who will gladly share fresh rumors for free;

- Working on the story quest of the Dragonid girl, who will appear in future updates; - Added an animation for studying and writing down recipes; - Planning to improve the interface and add a button to skip Rena's opening monologue.

That's all for this week. And if you feel an irresistible urge to support our project with a coin, you can do so on our Patreon. For that, we say thank you, add your names or nicknames to the credits, and keep working on the project with renewed energy!
