Hello and happy new year !

2025 whas an important year for Whispers of the Sirens : The transformation was finally added in, to say nothing of the extra-scenes and the queen of the siren hub : Faye herself !

I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it : Thank you so much for the support and kind words ! As time goes by, more and more of you join in on the adventures of Leto and I've a hard time putting into words how much this means to me. In these times, this really makes all the difference

This year also marked the decision to add Artemis into the vn. As she's an important character to me, adding her in is something I really look forward to ! There's been a couple of similar changes behind the scene regarding what's planned, all great stuff I can't wait to show you.

But before that, I'll need to finish the casino games ! It was always mean to be more "game-y" but thanks to what I've leaned on various smaller projects, I've got the confidence to really flesh these out as a turn-by-turn games. And so far it's looking really great ! The main logic is up and running. Some tweaks, balances, and Qols, and it'll be fully functional, imagine that !
Making it from scratch really helped me making the rules as I wanted them, so I hope you'll enjoy the result >: 3

Here's the gist of it : 

The influence of the sirens will progressively increase and take the form of interferences, having a chance to replace your actions with one of many possibilities. Will you remain and get more tokens, at the risk of loosing yourself along with your winnings ?

Human Leto will have to use her wits to stay up to speed with the casino bunnies, eager to make her one of them !
Siren Leto doesn't lack wits, but she's not very interested in resisting the charms of her peers. If she falls to them ? Oh well, there's always next time. On the other hand, she's got powers of her own, and would love to try them on these funny bunnies...

Here's to yet another year of sirens, mysteries, and otherwordly affairs, cheers !

Whispers of the Sirens discord is live ! 

Well hello, Whispers of the Sirens just got a discord server ! 

I'll link it to Subscribestar, so if your profile here's linked to your discord, chances are you've recieved an invitation already, sorry for that, I didn't think it'd do that o _ o )

If you haven't recieved an invitation yet, here is a link : https://discord.gg/mry4XD4fVT

There's no special privileges for now, it's just a place to chat and recieve news about the vn for now ; ) 

And while the bot ensures you're in a category of the tier you've subscribed to, everyone, paying or not, is more than welcome here : 3

Alright, now it's been two weeks and the polls are closed, with an overwhelming victory for Seraphine, who gets to be the one to teach Leto how to use her siren powers !

Now, you know one part of the next update, but what of the rest ? Well there'll be a little bit of story too, and most importantly : Casino games ! 

That's right, the next update will flesh out the casino with games you can actually play ! It'll be turned based games (two are planned at the moments : the wheel of fortune and the slot machine). Those are very simple games, but with the twist you can imagine : sirens will be around, and they will very much pester Leto to their heart's content...

And now you see why it's vital that Leto in her siren form learns to use her powers, since she'll be able to sway other sirens too during those games~

I've also received a couple of messages asking how much was still planned, so I'll post a roadmap in the future. Short version is that the story is between 1/3rd and half completed ? Point is, the ship still has plenty of secrets yet ; )

Great news, Whispers of the Sirens version 0.3.2 is now fully available to the public ! 

As previously stated, this update doesn't introduce new mechanics or progresses the story. Instead, we take some time to get closer to secondary characters who were a little neglected so far.

Sit down, have a drink with Sarrah, train with Tatienne, or come back to June for another taste of her powers..
The differences between the human and siren version of things shows a lot more ! Both in how Leto acts, and in how the others see her~

There was also some small changes, such as Leto siren having a chance to spend all night playing with herself instead of sleeping. Or her sprites having been slightly reworked (just changed how her nipples used to have the zipper going right over them).

And the usual small bugs and typos fixes, as I updated the plugin used for the dialogue (Dialogic).

I hope you like it ! And as always, let me know if something doesn't work (while I do my best to run through the game a couple of times before each update, there's always something that seems to slip by)

All the best ; )
