[RPG] [Patreon] Daughter of Essence (New Content Update!)

[IndoorMinotaur]

aaaaawww i reached the end of the current public build.
*facepalm* ooops it is on gamejolt

Thanks for playing! The public build is available on game jolt, but because there is an update to the content every Friday, it doesn't really work to publish the latest build in multiple places yet. That said, once a chapter is completed in full, it usually goes public within a few weeks.

 

[IndoorMinotaur]

Hi there, just wanted to make a brief announcement about the latest weekly build. I keep saying that Esterholt's "finally finished," but in version 0.33, the fourth chapter of the game officially concludes, and the fifth chapter begins!

This is the content that will be going live in our next public build, once it's polished and ready. That means this coming Friday, both weekly and alpha patrons will be getting access to version 0.34. As always, our public build is available to download at https://www.patreon.com/indoorminotaur

To see what's changed this week, you can check the patch notes below. As always, thanks for your support and we hope you enjoy!


Version 0.33 - 5/11/2018

• Added the departure from Esterholt
• Updated cove dialogue to reflect time passage
• Added new NSFW scene (Foursome/Futa)
• Added new additions to the cove
• Touched up early-game lighting (the Albath manor, in particular)
• Revised some of the dialogue from Mercy’s first interaction with Aunt Agatha
• Updated the scene library to include all current scenes
• Fixed a few continuity issues with NPCs still being in the cove when they shouldn’t be
• Revised some dialogue with Bell’s crew in Shiveworth
• Added more treasure to the Esterholt Hunting grounds
• Fixed some dialogue in the cove not correctly triggering

This game is on the same path as Fate stay night.

The original fate stay night game was actually an adult porn game but due to how good the non-sexual part of the plot was, it got famous fast.

The non-sexual part of the daughter of essence story pulled me in time and time again to the point that I often forgot about the adult elements(then again Mercy's oufit is a constant reminder in that area)
To summarize, this game is good. I look forward to the rest of the story.

Thank you, Mokeo! We're glad you like it and hope it becomes a success!

We think as long as people leave nice comments like this, it has a chance.

 

[IndoorMinotaur]

Hello! It's a special release tonight, because we spent a lot of time polishing, fixing and tweaking to make sure the latest weekly build was also ready to be sent out to our alpha patrons.

Version 0.34 is not a flashy build in some respects, but it gets a whole lot done AND adds 2 awesome new toys to the game, as well as their respective scenes.

Another feature we're excited to announce is a planned reward for the First Mate tier of patrons. We've added a bathhouse to the cove with guest suites above it. From this point going forward, if anyone ever becomes a First Mate, they'll get a permanent, lore-friendly character with their own suite in the cove.

Next week, version 0.33.1 will be going public to the world! Anyone can download the public version here: https://www.patreon.com/indoorminotaur



To see the rest of the pile of fixes and tweaks, have a little scroll through the patch notes.

Thanks, everyone!

• Fixed another bug where some dialogue in the cove was not correctly triggering
• Modified the effects of “Jolted” from 10% evasion to 10% critical hit chance
• Fixed an issue where the ship sprite may look like a rowboat after Esterholt if the save file was started on a much earlier patch

• Fixed the Esterholt manor’s exterior not having a proper battle background

[IndoorMinotaur]

Hi folks, we're very pleased to announce the public release of our latest chapter: Esterholt. The public build is jumping from 0.24.3 to 0.33.1.

In addition to new chapter, there have been many tweaks, bug-fixes, improvements and additions to the game as a whole. More than we can realistically list in this post, but if you would like to see the full changelog, you can scroll through it here.

Thank you all for playing, and we hope you enjoy!

Just wanna mention: There seems to be a bug with the bat in the port, before Mercy leaves? It says it cannot load Mercy1_8.png. After checking the files, there seems to not be a file named that either.

Also, I am a bit confused on 'strength' when it comes to pulling boxes. Is there a stat that plays into that, or is it something else? I'm assuming its one of the stats due to how agility is also used for skill checks.

Hello, thanks for the bug report. I'll get a fix out for it soon, but a temporary workaround is to just add a blank image with the same name.

"ATK" is the stat the governs Mercy's box-moving potential.

(Edit: A hotfix has been uploaded to address this and one other issue.)

 

[Craven12]

First a bug: in Witchwood in the mercenary Quarter i think it´s the first floor? the Red chair near the door if you walk in it and use the spacebar you get ported to the floor below.

And the fishing spot in the sewer of Carvanah don´t ask if i want to use a lure. Also the Spot near the fishing Master in Witchwood if i don´t leave that map and fish there more then once i don´t get ask if i won´t to use one.

Also a question last update Dietrich was in Witchwood this time not? So do I need to recruit him in Carvanah? and how to? Buy more of his toys? I only got the crow guy( violent way no idea how to get it over the guard) and the miner. Also nice change to the fishing! Only downside for now after 3h of fishing in Witchwood I still need a Toothfish? over 230 i only had 219 now. Will see Esterholt next! Greet game! Please keep going!

Hello! First, thank you for the kind words and also the bug report.

Dietrich appearing in Witchdale previously without recruiting him was a bug. He can only be recruited if:

Spoiler: Spoiler

Hallie is not rescued, and you visit Dietrich one last time just before getting on the boat to go home.

If you don't find every fish now, don't worry! The fish lady will appear again later. Thanks for playing!

Hi everyone,

As promised, the latest weekly build is live and features the fully implemented quest journal system.

This has been a feature requested since the very beginning, and I'd always meant to get around to it, but I'd always prioritized other work since it wasn't very exciting to look at (or work on).

But, enough was enough, and I spent most of the week grinding to get it out the way. I'm happy to announce that it's finished, and I can now move on to more exciting things!

The Big 4-0

Hey everyone. We did it! We somehow managed to survive until the 40th weekly release of DoE.

Some days I'm not sure where the time has gone! Other nights... like tonight... it has felt like the passing of ten-thousand years.

But the march continues ever forward, and I'm here to present the notes for our latest and greatest.

As always, thanks for playing, and we hope you have fun.

Version: Life, the Universe, and Everything

Good evening! I will keep this short and sweet, since the patch notes are LONG and SAVORY.
Managed to get a lot of work done this week, including many relatively major system updates and changes. The notes will speak for themselves, mostly, but I will say that, being still fresh, you can expect some more fine-tuning and balance adjustments to come from these systems.

Other than that, hope you enjoy!

New week, new build! Come and get it, fresh off the video game assembly line.

This week's release pretty much wraps up chapter 5, somewhat astonishingly. It'll be a couple more weeks before the chapter goes public, but our non-patron friends will have something to look forward to in the month of August. Non-patrons can try the public build at https://www.patreon.com/indoorminotaur!

This was another tricky chapter, similar to Witchdale, because there were several branching options for how it resolved, and the quest journal only adds another level of complexity to the whole thing. But it's 99% wrapped up, which feels good.

Chapter 6 will take us to a couple of places more familiar, which will be cool. Don't want to spoil too much just yet, so just hang in there.

I'm also personally working on the art for another scene as we did a poll and I came out as the (surprise) winner but I have to sneak in time for my art here and there or I'll never get any work done on the rest of the game.

Anyway, that's enough rambling. I hope our weekly patrons like the build, and I hope everyone else is looking forward to it!

Version 0.43 - 7/27/2018

• Fixed an issue where the octopus deepfolk scene could be repeated
• Added Mar’Liore morning & departure
• Added different cutscenes for the results of Mercy’s decisions in Mar’Liore

• Added a new SFW scene (?!)

• Moon is not going to Mar’Liore after all
• Added the return of Carlisse (showdown coming soon!)
• Revised some dialogue in Mar’Liore

 

[IndoorMinotaur]

[IndoorMinotaur]

Hello, everyone! We are very excited to announce the public release of our latest chapter: Mar'Liore.

This has been many months in development--longer than the average chapter as a consequence of numerous time-consuming system updates and overhauls, particularly the quest log.

Mar'Liore also features some of our most complicated and divergent quests to date, branching off multiple times to accommodate the different decisions our players make along the way.

We hope everyone enjoys, and we also hope you'll join us in our brand new public Discord: https://discord.gg/7hTwuTH
