I'm a bit late to update you all, but Terri's scene has been finished! We may be delaying Iski (our kobold girl) past this month depending on our art workflow. We had a prospective animator in the worlds but they have backed out. No bad blood, they were going to give it a shot and just didn't feel animating in 2D was something they wanted to do, but it did leave us in a sticky-ish situation!
The next update will be large, very large... so that might have gone unnoticed if I was smart and didn't mention it, but here I am still typing... not highlighting and erasing that for some reason... damn my stupid honesty!
But that's not to say we will be light on content, oh no... expect a very healthy serving of stuff in the next update. Well, that's all from me and Team Dead Deer for now!
Demo contains: 3 locations, 1 companion, 1 sex scene, 1 short quest, and some extra NPCs to talk to.
Keep in mind combat is in very raw shape, due we couldn't polish it in such small time window so we added optional "skip combat" button if you don't want to go through it.
