Hi, guys, TechnoBrake is here!

Today I’ve released a new side quest patch for the Gold Hero and Palladium Paladin tiers, along with an update on the progress of the NymPri main game.

This month’s patch adds 2 new side quests, along with 1 new standing portrait and 3 new event CGs.

[Side Quest: The Senile Old Man at the Royal Capital Church]

Once a devout believer, the old man’s dementia has worsened with age. Now he mistakes the Sister for his deceased wife and repeatedly harasses her.
 Can the teachings of the Golden Seven reach even the senile?
 The Priestess’s challenge begins here…

The old man who’s been sitting in the church since version 0.1 now has a side quest.

This quest is not accepted from the Quest Board, instead, it begins when you talk to the nearby Sister.
 Quest Requirement: The Priestess must be in your party (solo Priestess also works).

The ending will vary depending on your choices and the Priestess’s Lust level.
 If the Protagonist is in the party, he can also resolve the quest himself.

This quest includes 1 Sex scene.

⚠️ At this time, this quest cannot be reset with Fate Reversal.
If you want to test all the choices or don’t want to risk missing the Sex scene, I strongly recommend saving beforehand.

[Side Quest: The Fate of the Poor Dojo]

The party receives a request to either collect on a debt that has long passed its due date, or persuade the debtor to accept the lender’s conditions in exchange for clearing it.

The debtor turns out to be a struggling swordsmanship dojo run by a young Eastern swordswoman -Samurai-. With few disciples and the dojo on the verge of collapse, repaying the loan is out of the question.
 But a debt must be repaid. If she cannot, she will have no choice but to accept the conditions laid out by the lender.

This is another multi-ending quest. The outcome changes depending on your choices and ability checks.

Although it’s a Rank 2 quest, some options and ability test requires fairly high values. If you dislike “bitter endings,” you may want to first raise your abilities or earn more money through other quests.
 (To achieve the best possible ending, you will need 2,000 SC.)

This quest includes 2 Sex Scenes.

One between the Protagonist × Eastern Swordswoman

One between the Financier × Eastern Swordswoman

For the Protagonist × Eastern Swordswoman route, there is an Ability Test, and the outcome will slightly change depending on success or failure.

This quest can also be reset using The Eye's Fate Reversal, allowing you to retry different outcomes.

I’m currently working on the text for Chapter 4.
 There are two routes, A and B, but since route B is basically made up almost entirely of ero events, the workload feels a bit lighter there.

While working through the dialogue, I started reconsidering a few things. In fact, I’m now thinking about adding some elements that weren’t originally planned for the MV version.

One of them is Iris’s mother.

She made a brief appearance in the VX ACE version, but she was such a minor character that when I ran a survey later, people commented things like “Wait, Iris's Mom? Who's that?”

Back in the VX ACE version, Iris’s mom was actually supposed to play a fairly central role in the latter half of the story. 
But during the scenario rebuild for the MV version, she got cut, mostly because her involvement complicated the plot.

But now that I’m actually writing the dialogue, I’m starting to feel like “Yeah… having Iris’s mom show up might actually make more sense for an eroge after all.”

The big concern, though, is that adding her back in would definitely extend production time. And to be fair, in the current MV storyline she’s not strictly necessary. 
So it’s a tough call at the moment.

[Elf Village]

The other addition I’m considering is “Elf Village”.

Originally, I had no intention of including Iris’s hometown in the game at all.
But after a certain divine oracle, I’ve decided it’s going in.

The real problem with making Elf Village, though, is the matter of the elves’ body type.

In NymPri, elves are supposed to be very slender by default. 
Iris, however, has adapted way too much to human society, gorging on meat, getting chubby, developing strong body odor, and even having pussy juice that’s practically slime-like.

So if I create Elf Village, then naturally, the mob elves there will need to be portrayed as skinny. Otherwise, it would contradict the established setting.

But personally… unless I make them at least a little thicc, I just can’t find the motivation to make H-scenes. 🤔

So now I’m torn, do I twist the original setting and turn the entire village into a crowd of juicy, voluptuous elves? Or do I stick to the lore, keep them skinny and lore-accurate… but not exactly boner-inducing?

Well, NymPri is an eroge, so I guess it makes the most sense to follow the will of your little buddy down there. Which means the right answer is probably going “thicc.”

I can always make up some quick lore like “Because of their contact with human society, the younger elves have started eating human food and naturally put on more weight. Humanized eating habits, basically.” 
That should be enough justification. After all, it’s an eroge.

So the dilemma is follow my lust and go for thicc, or respect the setting and stick with skinny elves…
 I’d love to hear what you all think!

Okie, that's it for now!
See ya next time!

Yo, it’s TechnoBrake.
Lately I’ve been feeling a bit down.
There are many reasons, and honestly my English isn’t strong enough to explain them all properly but hey, life’s full of ups and downs, right? lol

Don’t worry though, this hasn’t affected the game’s development at all.

Today, I’m releasing a new side quest patch and a fix patch for the Gold Hero and Paladin tiers.

This patch adds a Rank 2 quest, “We are Breeding Brothers!”, to Crossroad Village.

This quest is like a MAKUNOUCHI BENTO—packed with everything: vanilla, netorase, netorare, gigachad Jimmy, happy endings, and even tragic conclusions.
(MAKUNOUCHI BENTO is basically a lunch box filled with lots of different things… kind of like a McDonald’s Happy Meal, if that makes sense.)

In this quest, depending on the Priestess’s stats, the Breeding Brothers might break her womb protection. On the other hand, depending on your (Protag’s) stats, you might be the one to break it instead.

This quest also comes with 3 new CGs and 1 new cut-in to enjoy.

Please have fun with it!

This patch fixes the following bug:

I’ve also uploaded version 0.80f, which already includes this fix.
Play whichever version you prefer.

Note: Please apply this month’s side quest patch after updating with Patch f.

The text for Chapter 3 is nearly finished.
 Sorry it’s been taking longer than expected.

I tend to get obsessive, once I start refining, I keep rewriting things again and again.
 (Probably most players don’t care that much about the story details, but personally, I just can’t bring myself to compromise here.)

Since the story work doesn’t give me any new illustrations to show off right now, I’ll share a rough sketch of one of the characters who will appear in Chapter 3.
 The design isn’t final yet, so it’ll still be adjusted from here.

[The Archbishop of the Golden 7 Pillars]

She's an archbishop of the Golden 7 Pillars s, overseeing the Royal Capital area.
A truly kind and caring figure, she also runs the settlement known as the Village of Peace, raising war orphans and children without families.

That’s it for today.

Take care of yourselves and stay healthy!
 See you next time!

Today, I’d like to talk about the August patch and the progress on the main game.

 First, let’s start with the August patch.

[August Patch]
Before diving into the contents of the patch, let me explain the background.
After releasing last month’s mini-game, I ran a poll on Discord.
The topic was about what kind of rewards we should offer in the coming months.
Here are the results:

As you can see, it’s pretty clear that rewards tied directly to the main game are the most popular.
Some supporters mentioned that mini-games don’t really feel like part of the full game’s content, but side quest patches do—so they’re more appealing.

From a developer’s standpoint, completely standalone mini-games are actually easier for me to work on since they don’t interfere with the main game, so the creative freedom is higher.
But with such a big gap between the top two poll options, I think it’s safe to say I should focus on side quest patches.

Aside from side quests, I could also release standalone events for characters like the gyaru dwarf or the bathhouse girl scenarios not connected to the main story before the full game comes out.

This might split opinions again between players who’d prefer to save that content for the full game, and those who’d like to see them concluded in monthly updates.
Either way, I’d be happy to hear your thoughts.

So, for this month, I'm going with a side quest patch that ties directly into the main game.

[Side Quest: The Lady’s Bucket List]

A young lady born into a prestigious noble family.
She was frail from birth, and though she has miraculously managed to survive until now, her condition has worsened and the end is near.

Her parents and butler, wanting her to accomplish her dreams while she still has the strength to walk, send a request to the Adventurer’s Guild to fulfill one item on her bucket list: “Go on an adventure.”
Will the protagonist and the priestess be able to grant the dying lady’s wish in time?

[The Lady]
A kind-hearted young lady from a noble house, born with a weak constitution and only a short time left to live.
Despite her fragile health, she has big tits. (And of course, she has a big ass)
She’s a quest character, so she won’t become a follower.

I didn’t notice it while drawing her, but her design ended up overlapping a bit with Yan from the Ying-Yan Sisters…
So if the Ying-Yan Sisters appear in a new scenario, I’ll probably redesign Yan.
(Either way, her current graphic feels a bit dated now.)

Like "I want to be a Great Wizard" and "The Black Shadow Approaching the Capital", this quest has multiple endings depending on the player’s choices.

Depending on your choices, there’s also an H-scene with the lady.
This includes two new CGs, BJ and Sex.
This side quest already has its English text ready.

You can also reset the quest if you want to change its ending—simply visit the Eye alone as the protagonist.

After applying the patch, the quest will be added to the Quest Board at the Royal Capital Adventurer’s Guild once you reach Adventurer Rank 3.

This patch is built on version 0.80e.

[Full Game Development Status]
To be honest, July’s progress wasn’t great.
If my target for the month was a 10, I’d say I only managed to hit about a 6.

The main reason was a slump in writing work, but either way, I’ll need to make up for the delay in August.

Tbh, I really struggled to make progress in July, and I’m sorry for the significant delay.
However, by shifting my working hours for writing from daytime to nighttime, I’m starting to see signs of breaking out of this slump.

 Anyway, please take care of your health, everyone.
 See you next time!
