Update 25.08.12 changes:

- When you're married to Vampire you get a new event with her in the time skip phase "Preg." The first icon is next to Tabsy's Big Farm, then the next icon appears in the forest east of Aldlyn in the same phase. The event has six steps in total in the "Preg" and "Birth" acts which include one CG scene.
- In the time skip act "Birth" or later appears an icon on Aldlyn which allows you to enter an upgraded sleeping chamber interior of the castle. There are no events or treasure chests in the area yet but a lot to explore.
- A story dialog with Frall was added in Act 2 of the time skip events next to the barracks of the vanguard forces. The dialog continues with an icon at the border to Amagal, and then in a third step with an icon near Siriveta in the west of Dorgania.
- In the north of the lake villa which you can enter during the time skip phase stands Kurohime after you recruited her for your party. She now has the option to start a memory mini-game. The game is meant for a future event, but I added it this way for testing purposes. [There is no reward for winning.]
- Fixed a bug with the new CG room search function that was indirectly responsible for an error that could appear in the sniper mini-game of Elly during the events with Adrianna.
- Fixed a mistake that caused the CG room face images of Joel and Yasmine to be shown before you met these characters.
- The hair color of Naomi's character sprite was changed to fit to her CG image.

The next update is scheduled for somewhere around the end of August and will contain the stories about Raziel's group in the time skip act 3.

I checked the abilities of the main party members to see what skills are useless or could be merged together. In the end, I came to the conclusion that only very few skills should get merged or removed. Most skills are different enough and have a right to exist. The problem is just that the need to use them is missing. For normal enemies it's fine if strong players can rush through them with damage skills alone but to make buff skills more viable I plan to add or change some special (boss) monsters. The idea is to give them abilities like a temporary invulnerability or greatly reduced damage that slowly fades away. This way the players would have some turns during battle to "prepare" themselves with buffs or heals instead of mindlessly pressing attack all the time.
Something I've already started to do in the time skip phase a long time ago is to increase the evasion and critical hit evasion of enemies so that higher hit and crit chances are needed for new enemies.
An increase of HP or DEF of enemies to drag out battles seemed like a bad choice, as I fear it would only make the normal battle more boring rather than adding something of value.
The mentioned changes are still a work-in-progress. The ideas will get checked and carefully thought through before anything gets added to the game. Feel free to leave your feedback to the ideas to help me improve the game into the right direction.

Update 25.07.19

Changes:
- After you finished Akane's story to "obtain" the beach villa it becomes accessible on the time skip map.
- Bondage story event in the time skip phase. The events starts in the villa which you obtain during Akane's spy events. [Requires the relationships of Tsubaki, Sandra and Elly at 100+ and Scarlett needs to be in the party.]
- After the bondage event with Scarlett you can talk with Elly twice to trigger two different CG scenes. [Requires that you unlocked Elly's second CG scene prior.]
- After the bondage event with Scarlett you can talk with Tsubaki to trigger a CG scene. [Requires that you had Tsubaki's first sex CG scene.]
- After the bondage event with Scarlett you can talk with Sandra to trigger a CG scene. [Requires that you had Sandra's CG scene at the Forgotten Brexeet Isles.]
- New dialog with the Windspirit Melody in Act 2 of the time skip events. [Requires that you had the events of the spirits in Act 1 to know that Melody is called Melody.]
- After Melody's dialog, you can interact with the icon again to get a follow-up dialog with Tsubaki about her family's story.

- In the CG rooms you can now use the "search" button to not only search for a name by writing text, but also by haircolor and race.
- A system change was made to improve performance on win 10 PCs.
- An issue with a weather effect staying on the screen after replaying the second CG scene of Ziki was fixed.
- An issue with the quest log for the android version was fixed. (Thanks to ryanu!)
- The treasury in the castle of Aldlyn was extended. (But the new area isn't used for anything yet.)
- All party members can now learn the skill Magic Storage on the skilltree. The icon for it is directly above the EXIT button. This new skill allows characters to access an additional shared inventory. The main purpose is to give people a way to declutter their inventory from rarely used or unnecessary items without having to sell or destroy them.

- The background of the skilltree pages of Tsubaki, Mira, Mirel, Vampire, Sandra, Chiyo, Elly, and Ryoko were updated with their newer full body CG images.
- Ryoko's skilltree background now changes when you reach that point in her story where her right arm changes.
- The backgrounds for Ryen, Trey, and Brad were adjusted to make the size for the full body CG image the same as in the backgrounds or other characters.
- The only exception is Kayelinth, who still has the same silly background image as before.

Update 25.06.24

I made a quick update to finally add the wedding of Trey, but also because a problem with Darude lead to some confusion in the main story line. To help newer players, I change the requirements for his event to appear.

Changes:
- New story with Lady Akira. The event starts when you talk with her in Witton after renting and visiting the private beach of the island Amaranthe, when you had the first dialog with Lady Akira before entering the room through the door from outside, and you need the events of Trey about his girlfriend from a few updates ago. (The previous event of Trey starts with a sparkling note in the center of the sleeping chambers after you used the Fast Travel system when Grey joined the femaled adventurers, Kayelinth is in your party, you solved the mystery of Fürstenstein, you found Hellhound in Old Ashton, and you had the portrait events with Scarlett.)
- Darude now appears in front of the castle in Aldlyn after you repaired the abandoned barracks where you meet Mira. If the vanguard system is unlocked, he'll tell you about his new trade system, else he'll ask for help with bandits and Trey will make a remark that you should go to the barracks to talk with Jessy. This change ensures that you can advance the main story without confusion, and also get an additional reminder to go to the barracks after repairing them.
- Fixed a bug that only the turn end button on the country overview map reduced the cooldown of Darudes trades, but not the turn end button on the special management screen where you pick delegates and other things.
- Fixed a bug which caused you to lose vanguard equipment components after the vanguard battle of the trade routes instead of gaining them.
- The quest "Clinic Request" now appears on the Aldlyn city board after you repaired the abandoned barracks on the country overview map. This ensures that people know about the country management map and can enter it before getting the quest to construct something on it.
- Fixed a bug with Ziki's wedding event which didn't properly turn off after the first time watching it.
- Scarlett received her full body CG image! The image was added for her skilltree, face images, is shown when you talk with her in her house in Aldlyn, and can be seen in the CG room after you had the events about getting a portrait for Ryen from Scarlett.
- The Poison and Burning status effects are now removed from the party when you enter a vanguard battle.

Update 25.06.11 changes:

- A new event and CG scene with Jackie was added. To trigger the story, you need to talk with Jackie or Lexi in the monsterhall at least once after the update. When Ryen's happiness value is at 5+ (which means at least 5 girls are pregnant) when you re-enter the monsterhall, a !-icon appears over Jackie and shows the start of a new quest.
- I added a book icon on the timeskip map right of the "Children" act icon. You can use this icon to access a work-in-progress for an extended worldmap. The map itself has no events or accessible areas, but shows what the world beyond the known worldmap looks like. It also shows the location of some known locations, like Fürstenstein, Mira's temple island, and The Forgotten Brexeet Isles.

- The system for Darudes trading routes was upgraded. The trading now takes place on the country overview map.
- The caravan travels with multiple possible routes, where you can pick up more loot by defeating bandits with your party or vanguards. Overall, the trades are now more interactive instead of just waiting for them to return with resources.
- The trades to Diminus Castle and Tajurata Fort require you to finish some events first before the trade route is available. The events start with sparkling icons on the country overview map.
- The events for the trade route to Diminus Castle unlocks the CG scene of a new character.

- The storage screen for the vanguard forces was upgraded. It now shows all equipments and items at once.
- The new screen also allows for equipments to get exchanged for components, and the components can be trades for other equipment pieces or sold for Budget. This way you can make use of unwanted equipment.
- The new trades with Darude give you a bunch of components for vanguard equipment as well.

- The "Absolutely Unique Book" to increase the level of characters now works for Lady Akira, Citrinne, Kurohime, and Scarlett after they join your party in the time skip phase.
- A Fast Travel option was added for the church in Aldlyn.
- "Bunny Ears+" was changed to "Fancy Bunny Ears+" and now requires the new item "Fancy Bunny Ears" to craft them. The new fancy bunny ears can be found in chests in the castle of Aldlyn, in the room of Lady Miles in the noble families living quarters, and in the new Thremten map in Flaire's new house in the time skip phase.
- Fixed an issue with the swap skill. When escape was pressed during the choice, it swapped the active character with Scarlett.

Update 25.05.07 changes:
- After the CG scene with Ziki in Pumumu a new quest will appear in Calterburry in front of the castle. At the end of this quest you unlock Ziki as a marriage candidate on the special marriage screen in the church of Aldlyn.
- The old images of Ziki's full body and CG scene were replaced by new CG images.
- All old face images of the main party members were replaced by CG versions.
- After recruiting Lady Akira, Citrinne, and Kurohime for your party, you can go back to Thremten in the time skip phase for a new event with the thief who stands to the right side of Flaire's new house. He has a !-icon above his head to show that he has a new event for you.

- The CG room pages were re-organised, and sorted into new groups to make browsing through them easier.
- Characters that weren't in the CG room even though they had full body CGs but no scenes yet were now added.
- When you select "CG" or "Scene" for a character in the CG room, the choices now have icons that show if the scenes are locked, partly unlocked, or fully unlocked.
- Shey's face in the CG room now changes when her body changes during Ryoko's events.

The early version of Trey's wife's wedding dress CG looks really amazing, and I look forward to make his wedding once it's done. Sadly, they weren't done in time for this update. My apologize for delaying this wedding again.

A little preview:
Since I want to advance the events of the time skip phase, some of the content for the next updates is the CG scene with Lucilla, more lore about Central and the "outside" world, and stories about Raziel's group.

Apart from the usual content for characters and CG scenes, I also plan to make some changes of existing systems and addition of new features to make the game more enjoyable in the future updates. This includes:
- A way to exchange or trade gear of the vanguard forces to let you make use of unneeded equipment pieces in some way.
- I want to make the expeditions more useful. For example by adding augments as possible rewards, to make them more worthwhile.
- There will be a re-work of Darude's merchant system for trading. The system will probably be moved to the country overview map, instead of using it's own screen. But similar as with the expeditions, the rewards needs to be re-balanced to make sure there is a motivation for players to actually use the system.
- A system was suggested to upgrade, merge, or remove skills, to make the skill list shorter and better arranged.
- An achievement and/or rewards for collecting all of the in-game TCG cards.


Thanks to everyone for your continuous support and interest in my game.

Update 25.04.08 changes:
- A sparkling note left of Ryen's bedroom triggers a lengthy scene. It appears when you use the fast travel system after you have Trey-f's wedding, Kayelinth in your party, the first encounter with Hellhound, the first meeting with Scarlett, and Grey-f as part of the female adventurer group.
- New event with Scarlett in act 2 of the time skip events. The trigger is a heart-shaped icon at the right side of Aldlyn. The event requires the scenes of Scarlett and f-Grey to be done.
- After the first dialog and CG scene with Scarlett, she can be recruited for your party in the new Thremten map of the time skip phase. She can be used everywhere in the time skip phase afterwards, but is removed from the party when you leave the time skip phase to go back to the "old" content. (And re-added to the party when you enter the time skip phase again later.)
- A follow-up event can be triggered in act 2 with an icon that appears at Old Ashton in Begus. It requires the initial events with Citrinne, and the events with training Jiliesh from Millwater. The event will unlock three more new party members, which can be used during the time skip events. Same as Scarlett, they'll disappear when you leave the time skip phase, and re-enter the group when you come back.

During the new events with Scarlett in the time skip phase, you encounter the criminal Pheloya. She won't get a CG scene or any big events, but in this poll you get to decide what her future shall be: https://strawpoll.com/6QnMQD0M7ne

- The entry to the skilltree menu was added to the in-game menu again. The icon on the fast travel screen didn't turn out to be very practical in the end, as there are too many situations where that screen is disabled. So, same as with the CG room, I put the option to enter the screen back into the menu, where it used to be.
- The skilltree screens were changed. You can now access all skilltrees from each page. So the pages of all side-characters are now accessible from the screens of the main party members.

- Since the CG room and skilltree use the old system with 12 party members and Ryen fix in party slot 1, Ryen is automatically moved to party slot 1 and locked when you enter those screens. When you use the exit button, the actor who was in slot 1 before entering the screens will get moved to that position again.
- The system changes made it possible to unlock Ryen as a fix party member in slot 1 for the time skip area. Which means more flexibility for party formations. However, he'll still remain fix in the "old" content, as his position in slot 1 is used in dozens of events, and can't quickly nor easily be changed anymore.
- The swap skill was updated to include the new party members.

The decision to make Ryen locked as party member 1 was done about 10 years ago, and is used in many places as a certain factor. In hindsight, there could've been better ways to do things, which would've allowed me to make a change earlier or easier. But I think that the time skip phase is a good place to start making the change, to allow the new content to be enjoyed without this restraint anymore.

- A few more additional party members for the time skip phase, like Lace and Hellhound, are planned for later.
- A small system change was made to fix the message about a "newer nw.js" file.

Originally, I wanted to make Trey's wedding in this update, but realized that I don't have a wedding dress CG of his lover yet. Even though it's not a wedding with Ryen, it felt wrong to do the scene with their casual outfits, so I delayed the scene for the next update, when I'll hopefully have the CG for it.
I'm also planning to add Ziki's CG remakes and her wedding in the next update.
