Hello everyone, I hope you all had a great new year. This is just an update on what's coming up for 14.0 and also want to share a bit, less than ideal, situation with the development of Sovereign going forward.

Version 14.0 is plan to be out by end of February and will focus on Emily. This should push her content to level 9 which as mentioned before, the higher the level a character get the more works need to be done since I would like to make their event longer than normal as well as needing to update their interaction, cloth, dialog, events etc. So I would like to focus just on Emily for this update instead of also focusing on other girls. With that say, 14.0 won't just be about Emily, I'm also planning to introduce the last interactable character into the game as well as all the update for Cathy, Evelyn, Reina, Dalia and Olivia events/interactions to match their latest level.

On another note, I also want to share something a bit more personal that will effect the development of Sovereign going forward. This is because of my actual job, I'm a programmer. FYI, I have a normal 8 to 5 job throughout week days and only have time to work on Sovereign on the weekend. For a while now, I was able to work from home and only have to come into the office one or twice a week, so my work load was not particularly taxing. However, since December last year, we were asked to come back into the office fulltime. This was why I took that 3 weeks vacation back in December. And to be honest with everyone, I am starting to feel burnout. Having to drive to work on the entire week days and then still need to work on Sovereign on the weekend make me realize how valuable the weekend was to rest up and relax. I mentioned before that I started making Sovereign because it's something I enjoyed doing rather than for any monetary reason. I don't want to turn this into something to stress me out. I hope this burnout won't effect version 14.0 since I already committed to that release date. But afterward I will have to see how to handle this going forward. If need to, I can close/pause subscribstar so that I won't have the pressure of hitting certain deadline for updates and can just work on the game whenever I feel like etc. Whatever I decided to do, know that I won't abandoned the game, but rather just changing my approach on development cycle.

Hello everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Here is version 13.0. Unfortunately, there were some issues found during testing around Cathy and Reina interaction update so I have to pull them out of 13.0 to make sure I can get this out before year end. All new contents tested fine so they all here. Check the changelog for more details.

Now let get on to what's coming for 14.0. As usual, I will aim for a two months release, with January focusing on updating existing events and interactions to match with characters' new level. Cathy and Reina new interactions should be fix by then as well as updating interactions/daily events for Evelyn, Dahlia and Olivia. Then February will focus on new content, this time with Emily for the household girl and the rest will be up to vote as usual.

As always, reach out to me on discord if you need any help or reporting any bugs with the new version.

Sovereign version 11.0 Release

Hello everyone, here is version 11.0. As mentioned this update is to focus on moving the main story forward and introduce 5 new characters. I also spend quite some time cleaning up content for Evelyn, Cathy, Alyssa and Jeanne. Doesn't sound like much as far as new content go but it's works that need to be done.

On to what I'm planning for next release. With the main story out of the way, the next release will be back to focusing on content for the girls. I will have a poll next month for patrons to vote for which girl to be focus on for 12.0. I will probably have one poll for the family girls, one for the old main girls and one for the new main girls so that new content can be spread out. 

Aside from that, I also need to add in the new job system at the school, a new suspicion system after control story level 30 event, learning new skill from Zach etc. So still quite a lot of stuffs to implement for the gameplay after the new main event.

All in all, I'm aiming to release 12.0 end of September .

Hello, everyone, just a bit of an update for the next version. For June, I was mostly just prefilling and updating Alyssa, Jeanne, Cathy and Evelyn event to match dynamically with their influence/corruption level. New outfit, daily event, interaction etc. The next thing I will start working on is for the main story. It's still in the planning phase but I know I want to start involving the school and introduce all the new characters into the story properly.

All in all, I'm still on track to get version 11.0 out by end of July. Hope you all have a good weekend.
