Star Knightess Aura 0.46.0-prerelease-1

Whew, finished just barely today but it is done! We are still missing the epilogue scenes in between the Ending Frames but in general, you can now completely play through the game to the Corruption Ending!

Shatter Aura's Idealism Crystal to trigger an event sequence where Aura is given a chance to enter his Domain --- with a different result this second time around. :) There are some turns and twists especially involving Alicia that I don't want to spoil so I will leave the reporting on story events on that and instead just talk a bit about some structure details.

There is a new Recollection Room called "Recollection Room: Endings". It's located on the east side of the Earth Recollection room and requires you to clear any "proper" ending. In this case currently only the Corruption Ending, Soul-Break does not count. Deluxe users can get around this requirement with the new option in the Deluxe Console to cheat open the Endings Room.

Clearing or cheating open the ending will also unlock the Dark Star Knightess costume Aura will be using at the very end, so you can use the costume in a NG+ playthrough.

*Deluxe Console can only be used on the Patreon exclusive Deluxe version

Note that the costume doesn't work with "Earth" hair due to various small inconsistencies from Earth Aura and Isekai Aura being treated as separate characters in the game. But I think just having the costume itself is already nice.

The ending itself is made up of a longer scene when shattering the Idealism Crystal and 4 events. The first three making up the Ending Start storyline and the last one the Epilogue End Scene, which is a sort of curtain call scene where a lot of the Earth cast characters get to be united on one last final H-CG.

When watching the Epilogue End Scene you will see the chracters make some references that are pretty short and while they theoretically are self-contained, I will be expanding over the next two weeks when working on the Epilogue Scenes. There we will also see what happens to the Roya cast depending on your progress/decisions.

Aaand that's the main meat for this update. Instead of reporting more on it, I recommend to find out yourself, especially about the fate of Alicia---ahhh I don't wanna spoil!

Anyways, this marks another two major milestones off the list! The completion of the mandatory mental changes for the Corruption Ending and with the H-Scenes in the Corruption Ending itself we have also added the last mandatory major H-scenes. From now on, there will be no new H-Scenes that require new H-CGs until 1.0 is complete. There might be more stuff like lewd skills and lewd books though. And perhaps the toll bandits will make a return but with reused CGs.

Anyways, epilogue scenes is the next objective to tackle and then in two weeks I hope we can cross out the full Corruption Ending milestone!

Star Knightess Aura Internal Release 0.45.0

Aura finally stands on the threshold to crossing over into the corrution ending! This update adds the last Earth Corruption scenes and mental changes necessary to take her to the end of the corruption journey. Only the ending itself remains next month.

Overall, this update advances the game in three major categories

Completion of the non-Ending Earth scenes - The Earth Recollection Room is now complete!
Completion of the Demon-crazy quest - This time for real you can advance to the Expert Rank as we now have enough Intermediate Rank quests!
Completion of the Charlotte Corruption Storyline - All key Roya lewd scenes are now complete with this as well!

A lot of milestones down as you can see, including various sub-milestones like the completion of all appearance mental changes with the addition of the tan mental change.

As usual, those who are interested in reading on the details of development progress, I refer you to the detailed devlog posts. In the following, I will be giving a summary of what's new in this update and also from this week of development.

And to start that off, let's recap the numbers as we always do: We have 1 new H-CG, Tan Variations, 4 new mental changes, 5 new lewd scenes, 11 new Corruption scenes, 6 new passives, 2 new passives, 2 new books and an additional level at Pasciel!

I mostly already talked about the additions on the Earth side in my devlog posts. And beyond the intro text of this update post that we cleared out all the prerequisites to move on to the Corruption ending next month, I don't think there is much to add without spoiling everything. George suffering! More sex scenes with Richard! Tan! The 'Next Supermodel' storyline coming back into the main story! Aura being Tired and Lazy all the time! I will just leave it a couple of random sentences with exclamation marks like this haha :D

Our assistant developer Trihan also finished the Demon-crazy quest - corrupt the girls of Nephlune into servants of the demonic cult or use them gather support for Liliana so that she can rise up to the position of a Magistrate and overcome one of the cult's most fervent demonic supporters - the Shadow.

Either way will complete the last Intermediate Rank quest needed to finally rise up to Expert Rank - the prerequisite in order to unlock the two outstanding Expert Rank quests we will begin developing in the final phase of the development of SKA.

Finally, I completed the Charlotte corruption events this week. First, let me start with the bad news: Lady Charlotte only contains 3 events. I had originally planned to finish Lady Charlotte 3 this week and also create a Lady Charlotte 4 but with the development of the events being slower than I expected and kind of dragging, I decided to cut Lady Charlotte 4 and merge the content of its event into Lady Charlotte 3. So the result is a longer Lady Charlotte 3 at the expense of the 4th event.

This sadly makes the event sequence feel a bit more rushed due to the missing intermediate corruption state, but, and here comes the good news, thanks to this cut I was able to work on something else: Dialogue variations for Charlotte post-Corruption state. I originally wanted to avoid this for Charlotte since it was a lot of work for Paul and Charlotte has a lot more dialogue. However, most of the complexity for the dialogue variations with Paul/Paulina came from her various different states male, female, female maid, female maid corrupted, female maid fully corrupted - in contrast with the simplicifaction of the Charlotte corruption events, she only has two real states.

The first two corruption events of Charlotte mostly deal with her relationship with Victor and her behavior around him, it's only in the new Lady Charlotte 3 lewd event that she then changes to become more haughty and ladylike in general in order to please Victor. Triggering a change in speech. I combined this reduction of Corruption states with some tricks like representing post-Corruption Charlotte being more focused on "not embarrassing herself or Victor" and "behaving ladylike" by parametrizing dialogue with variable subsitutions so in one case for example she would use lots of "!" and post-Corruption "." to finish the sentences. This way we don't get double dialogue boxes which multiply their complexity when in dialogue with Paulina x_X I then mostly focused on adding a couple of meaningful variations where she becomes haughty and talks down to John and Paul(ina) for being commoners to have key speech variations stand out.

Anyways, the short of it is Lady Charlotte 4 RIP, Charlotte speech changes yay.

Furthermore, if you decide to learn a skill from Lady Charlotte that requires a full day to learn (Heat Up I or Fire II), on the second day, a special scene will occur where Charlotte proposes to go partying instead of teaching Aura the skill. If Aura has not unlocked Party Girl she will refuse, but otherwise it depends on whether she has the Lazy state. Finally, if Aura has at least 10 Maid Obedience of 80 Maid Score, a special variation of this scene will occur.

To close out the update, the simplication of the Charlotte event line gave me some extra time, allowing me to sneak in the Magic Academy's 4th (and for 1.0 last) floor - The Magic Academy Library. It contains a couple of hints and tips for monster hunting, but most importantly a new book NPC. Currently, it only has two books. Reading Proficiency II to further power up your book reading abilities provided you have not yet obtained the Useless Knowledge passive.

The second book is mostly for Slime fans who want to make their slimie eVeN biGGeR!! The book is only for those who already invested a lot of materials into their Slime, growing it to level 15. If you have done so, this book gives you the ability to double any future EXP gain from feeding. Slime got a lot of nerfs in the past because it went out of hand way too soon, but I definitely want to enable it to be able to grow really strong in the late-game and knock out Demon Generals. This book should help with that.

(Also, unsurprisingly, the books in Pasciel are of course overpriced :'D)

Okaaaaaaaay, and that's it for the week! I hope you have fun with the update. And then are ready to play the Corruption Ending next month! After that Chapter 3-B will be finished and we can change our focus back on the content necessary for reaching the Good Ending for the final development phase - Chapter 3-C.

Star Knightess Aura 0.45.0-prerelease-3

The the final pre-corruption ending milestone falls this week! With the 45th month of updates, the non-ending corruption events are now all DONE! It's not a lot of scenes, only 3, but they finally round out the remaining storylines.

The storyline for 'The Next Super Model' intertwines once more with the main plot, this time more fundamentally than just that shoutout scene. Likewise, the storyline of Aura overtaking Alicia takes form. I don't want to spoil too much but besides that we also have a bit of Patricia focus and George's storyline gets a little more aftermath. I think after the scene I wrote this week there really isn't anymore to do there, it's kind of like kicking a puppy that's on the ground at this point :'D

Anyways, it's hard to believe, after all these years of adding one scene after the next, but the Earth Recollection Room is now completely filled up. We still have more scenes in the form of the actual ending scene and "epilogue scenes" coming up in the ending itself. These will probably get a room of their own east of the Earth Recollection Room. I will talk more about the structure of the endings in the Project Plan Update next month.

Then on the Roya side, Trihan has finished the first iteration of the complete Demon-crazy quest. Corrupt the girls so that they support the Shadow getting power or fight against him when he tries to win the election by force. I did a quest test run, the quest is still quite buggy so proceed with caution. :'D

Also on the Roya side, but not included in the prerelease is some progress on the Lady Charlotte content. Sadly I only managed to finish the Vice scene of Lady Charlotte 3 today, so I'm quite slow at that one. I'm not sure what it is, but the Charlotte content has been really dragging in terms of speed. The Earth scenes have been chugging along nicely, but since I tried to do her quest in April, it's been kind of a struggle.

I'm not unhappy with her content, I really like especially Lady Charlotte 2, but unlike say Paulina scenes which I could just brain -> rpgmaker write down, these require me to do a lot more sessions just to figure out how I want to write the scenes instead of just writing them from my imagination. Well, anyways, on the bright side, I did write the Vice sub-scene, it's sadly not in the prerelease as it's thightly coupled with the follow-up lewd scene content I then need to get started on next week.

On the art side, Cheerleading Game 4 has received it's H-CG and I also created this week the brief to Fighting Over Richard 5. Probably again one of the most complex CGs in the game as it's the first one featuring 6-people in a sex scene x_X The prices reflected the complexity accordingly.

Finally, one little more experimental balancing change. the MATK lewd book could kind of go bonkers in the mid- to late game and therefore received a nerf to cap how crazy it can go. The MATK bonus from Lewd Knowledge is now limited by 50% of your base MATK (in Status menu the full value - the green value). This allows to majorly boost your MATK but not to levels where the game is fully trivialized and additionally you need to invest into your MATK to gain the benefit, so it's not quite 0 cost.

Alright, that's it for the week! Next week, more Charlotte stuff and whatever else I managed to squeeze in before the major release!

Changelog 0.45.0-prerelease-3 (19.07.2024)

Added Cheerleading Game 4 H-CGs
Added mental change Demon Queen Question
Added scene Wanting To Be A Model 10

Star Knightess Aura 0.45.0-prerelease-2

And once again, we finally close out a series of very long-running content strings this week!

This week, my primary focus was on pushing on the remaining Earth lewd content in the form of the last stage of the Late Night Sex With Richard event chain. Insert him into the Evening Relationship and have Aura indulge in her role-play as his Demon Queen, to the point where she just doesn't want to stop♥ --- and as a consequence of fucking until near-morning ends up dead tired in Roya :'D

Besides that, we also have further progress on Social Ranking on Wanting To Be A Model. The latter had a small change where Wanting To Be A Model 8 now triggers a repeat work slot for Aura where needs to work until later into the night every 7 days.

Aura's turned into a busy girl, with quite some things of higher priority than her role as a Hero by now! Always Tired and/or Lazy :'D Besides the new Rising Star schedule passive (which results in Tired I every 7 days), Sex DutiesOf A Demon Queen can also achieve its second Rank, reducing the time interval between Richard repeat sex scenes to every second day. Speaking of second Rank, Modeling Proficiency now also ranks up during the Rising Star repeat-modeling scene giving you a 25% extra tips from Lewdness (multiplicative with Art of Seduction).

To trigger the new Social Ranking scenes, you can now apply the Superiority III mental change in the Happiness Room - which also means that this room too is now complete! In fact, every mandatory mental change besides the final Identity Question change is now complete!!

Moving on to Roya, it appears Trihan is nearly finished with Demon-crazy. What is missing is the boss fight for the good ending of the quest? He was finishing up as I am writing this so no clue on what the state is exactly :'D Anyways, including the general progress of this quest, we also have a new Liliana and Aura centric lewd scene doing some "voting encouragment". :)

Also in Roya, we have one notable balancing change. The Water Skin II spell no longer reduces Hot Area Damage by the fixed number 4 but rather by 1 per 10 MDEF. Meaning at 40 MDEF it has its old effect and for every 10 MDEF it becomes a bit stronger. It's not a crazy lot since the damage reduction is applied before the resistance, so you effectively need 40 MDEF to effectively reduce damage by an extra point while you have Fire Resistance. Still, it gives something to work towards to in order to challenge Mount Firestorm.

Aaaaand that's it for the week! Next week, final Identity Question mental change! Currently, I am only counting 3 more scenes and one mental change to finish up the remaining pre-corruption ending content. And then with what time is left, I will be swapping over to Lady Charlotte, maybe finishing up her 3rd event. Or just starting it and finishing in up in the week after that. We will see.

Anyways, have fun with the update! For the complete changelog including today's patch, as usual, see below.

Star Knightess Aura Internal Release 0.44.0

Note that the public release will be in 3 weeks. You can also skip the waiting time by buying Star Knightess Aura on itch.

Big tiddy month comes to an end! Like last month, my quest to continue pushing towards the Corruption ending has progressed quite a bit over this month. One last batch of work next month and then we are off to the Corruption ending in the month after it!

But before we get ahead of ourselves for the future, let's take a look at the present of the progress of this month. As usual, for the details I refer to the detailed weekly devlog posts and will instead only look at a summary of what is new this month.

Starting with the numerical review! We have: 11 new Corruption Scenes, 5 new Lewd Scenes, 2 new Mental Changes, 4 new passives, 5 CG variations, and tons of other things like progress on the Demon-crazy quest, new pixel art assets and many other little things!

The first important batch of changes is on Earth / the mental change. Two new Identity Questions can now be answered to trigger a bunch of new scenes and gain new passives. Among the new scenes, the probably most dominant sequence is the continued competition between Rose and Aura over Richard. A bunch of lewd scenes deal with these events where to gain Richard's attention the two girls compete by bringing George towards the brink of despair.

On the lewd department, we have a new threesome with Rose, Aura and Richard, a group sex scene involving Elizabeth, Laura and their boys, as well as another threesome but with Aura, Richard and Alicia - her lack of appearance in lewd scenes finally being broken!

Visually, we also have a bunch of new art assets! Although no new base CGs we have a lot of variations of other CGs this month. The slutty bikini outfit from last month is now represented in the Richard sex scenes. Lewd Streaming 7 is now illustrated with CG variations of the George lewd events - except with George replaced by Richard and Aura's character design updated to the current corruption level. And then we also have the upgrade of Rose's chest area who has undergone breast enhancement surgery to raise her chances to win back Richard.

I will also show the detailed results of the current poll next Monday, but it looks like Tan variations is winning which is why I went ahead on Wednesday and discussed them with our artist Emubi. I was hoping I could already start adding them today and wrote the mental change and scene for it, but there were some issues in the organization of the assets, making them not work with all the costumes. It's not a big issue, but big enough to postpone the addition of the tan mental change to next update.

Finally, besides new corruption scenes we also have a bunch of minor visual improvements. It's always a bit strange to see certain assets cycled after staying with us for so long but such is the cycle of life. The discprepancy in the pixel art chars and their 2D portraits always bugged me and for Laura, Rose and Aura this has now been finally resolved. What's more, the Library Club always felt a little bit too stylish for some girls. Thanks to our pixel artist Amysaurus, our Library Club now fully looks the part!

And what's more, their appearance now also progress. Starting with the scene where Aura blackmails everyone to "take better care of themselves" the Library Club members will start dying their hair and in the second stage also swap out their clothes (doing an opposite order from Aura for some changeup). Well, mos of them progress, except for one girl for whom I decided to leave the appearance the same as she is the side character who receives the most bullying (after Laura) so I figured her not visually progressing to be related.

On the Roya side we have two points of progression. One is the Lady Charlotte event chain which contains one new lewd event that is very, very long x_X and gets Charlotte into bed. Her chest development can also be progressed to the last stage - hence combined with Rose's breast enhancement story Big Tiddy Month ;D

The second point is the progress on the side of our assistant developer Trihan who has continued to implement the Demon-crazy quest which last month only had a very basic stub to get it started. Recruit members to infiltrate the cult and engineer the election so Liliana can guide it to a better future --- or sell out the girls and turn them into agents of the chauvinist Shadow.

Before closing out, there are two one balance changes I would like to highlight. For one, that the Underground Pub Job no longer gives Lewdness. You still gain Lewdness from Customer Service and Uniform Upgrades as usual but the job itself no longer does so. It's a bit problematic, because it was the generic way to increase Aura's Lewdness to 15 in case it was lagging behind and the player couldn't find any lewd events. But I believe at the current stage of the game, that benefit is no longer as important. O

On the other hand, ino longer giving Lewdness also means no longer giving Corruption. I always found that the job gave too much corruption for too little reward but increasing the reward wasn't really an option as it would muddle its identity compared to the Brothel Job. So yeah, you can no longer raise your Lewdness up with the job, but you can now also work it on higher lewd levels without worrying about Soul-Break. I believe investing a day end into the job for its smaller rewards instead of, say, learning a skill or investing into an enhancement, is already enough payment.

The second balancing change affects the Knowledge Room. Here the process of pumping out Knoweldge no longer requires 2 actions. Since the first pump action never triggered an event, I didn't find it too interesting. So with the goal of shortening the journey to Chapter 3 just a little bit, I decided to cut it out. Note that if you are currently in the pumping process and need to smash the Orb, it will happen automatically if you interact with it without giving you an option. This way backward compatibility with this state is preserved.

Aaaaand that's it for the month! There are various other small changes you can read up in the Changelog if you are interested. For example, some coming from this week's polishing work. Especially in all scenes involving a TV and the Interestes Room containing one, you can see now some funny little animations. And that's about it. Have fun with the update, let's hope we won't need a hotfix and otherwise see you until Monday for the next month's Project Plan.

EDIT: Android and Google are fucking garbage and I hate them. I'm doing a fixed version build. Nothing should change. I shouldn't have my build broken because of some deprecated libraries. Android build wasn't deployed when I first made this post. Updated the dependencies and retriggered the deploy job so the android build should be there BUT WHO KNOWS IF THERE ARE ANY CONSEQUENCES TO UPGRADING THE DEPENDENCIES.
