Development for v0.14 is progressing nicely. Though it's still a bit too early to announce a release date, it should follow the usual schedule, with a release planned between December to January.
The new story content will be divided into two main parts: the flashback of the MC's past, and a direct continuation of what happened in v0.13. There will also be a new scene added to Act 1, as well as new positions and improvements to the training system.
The flashback shows events from nine years ago, with the MC in their early twenties. This is a very important part of the overall story and the MC's growth as a character. It will also touch on some philosophical and moral questions, which I think are important for a dark fantasy game.
After the flashback, the story will return to the present with the MC and Valerie in the forest. The rest of the update will set things up for v0.15, which will conclude Act 3 and kick off Act 4.v0.14 adds plenty of new training positions, including a proper scissoring position for female playthroughs. Some players weren't a huge fan of the original scissoring position, so this version should be far more appealing.Though the new training positions are still a work in progress, you can expect a nice variety in what's added.
I've also added a short scene to the start of Act 1. After the MC helps Lucius for the first time, the MC will find themselves robbed of their precious gold coin. The way the MC handles the situation will be determined by your personality type (diplomacy, reasoning, or intimidation). This should improve the pacing of the early game, which otherwise was a bit slow for some players.Anyway, that's a small teaser of what you can expect from v0.14. I hope you look forward to the next dev update. Thanks to everyone for supporting Rebel Duet!
