Hey everyone, it's been longer than usual but here's 0.16!
Now... where to start with this one... There was this cute guard from 10 updates ago or so, I'm sure you all remember her. It finally is her time to shine. She gets a full quest line in one update, a chunk of work comprising of over 500 images, animations and multiple quest steps.
The major scenes also include Kateryna, a date with Zahra, and even the Queen gets some screen time. Apart from that, there are lots of small additions here and there and reworks, detailed in the changelog below.
Keep in mind regarding the NSFW scenes that one or two out of the existing 10 or so animations are still in need of being done over time.
It's our first time putting most of a character's arch into one single update. Let's call it an experiment. Let us know what you think.
Thank you for your huge support!! I hope you're enjoying this one. For any bugs, always feel free to post them in the comments, or preferrably on discord.

today is the day, waiting for the public release
I really like your work. Can you answer this question? I will be able to die comfortably. where you create animations What program is this beautiful thing from? Do you model all the characters yourself?
Are you getting ready for early release on Steam?
if anything for 0.17 maybe, not for 0.16. lots of work to do
i paid for 1.5c. is this not going to be added to that? paid $20
hey, the updates all go public after a few days just like 0.15, this is simply to mirror the supporter websites and early access. I think I also clarified that on the last update but I did not on this one, I will change that now :)
thanks for the reply. but i was also wanting to know if i am going to have to look for a new prduct page every update? its very tedious. why not just update one prduct page
DesertSharing * meh
Games now for sale? 21.50 wow
this is just a pre release similar to patreon tiers, it goes down every 3 days until its free in about a week
wdym romanced Shani?
there are other options? :O
Hi Zetan,
Your game is my favourite and, in my opinion, the best out there. You've inspired me to create my own game. Could you share how you got started? Any advice on programs and asset creation would be immensely helpful!
Thank you :)
hi thank you ;) I started off learning how to make renders in daz3d, and then how to combine these into a playable renpy game including coding. Took a number of weeks to learn everything, but it was interesting to create. My tip is don't get discouraged by comparing yourself to better creators at first, my renders looked horrendous before I reworked them eventually. Yet I was convinced of the story I wanted to tell and I was fortunate that people liked it
Nice one man, thanks for the tip. How about animations? Do you use daz for those as well or do you use blender?
I can't seem to download the file from any of the links provided after my purchase. The pages keep timing out. I think too many people trying to download at the same time. Popular game. :)
ow, does that happen?? Let's see, I will try to diversify my upload.
Been trying since last night :D
I finally got through! This update is amazing! Worth every minute of the wait! :D
There are still many bugs in Android for version 016a, in several parts when Zaton is with the queen. And when you want to see the end
bugs as in crashes, or missing pictures? Without running any mods or other third party additions?
Missing picture and I don't use 3rd applications or mods.
Most of the pictures disappeared when he was with the queen in the arena and when he was with Lirah in the room with the Queen.
yes those are missing pictures only in the android version for now. We will update it in the next few days. sorry about that for now
Hints for Gallery entries will be interesting.
How was I supposed to know using the toilet properly would block the 'Healed path' for Fairy
that decayed bathroom scene actually is irrelevant to it, the hint was more about when she is with you :)
Amo esse jogo só não gosto quando tem que dividir com outro homem aí sempre eu vi evito disso acontecer
