One thing was missing from the game!
:o Magdalene!
Where did she go?? :shock:
I get you decided to not have her as a yuri romance but the leave her out the game completely! I'm shocked :shock: (Just kidding No skin off my nose but I was wondering why she wasn't in it though?)

To say the truth I wanted to, but she was really a "long shot". I mean she was a childhood friend of Heileen, and lived in Bavaria... a bit hard to explain her magically appearing in the Caribbean! Also, needed new artwork and I don't think the artist could make it in time. Is a character I like a lot, but sometimes you have to make some tough decisions and leave someone out :oops:

Fair enough I wondered how you were going to get Jonathan in the Caribbean too since he wasn't on the ship but you did wonderfully. Poor Magdalene she will be missed

Yeah, the main problem was art/time/costs and all that! To be honest I did this third episode just to make some fan happy but probably won't be really worth much my time. But anyway, I'm indie not for money for sure :lol:

Ok so today I'm going to make the various separate installer and upload version 1.0 which has only some typos fixed vs the 0.73. The short scenes for the +3 jobs will be added later, probably as I release the yuri version since we're at good point with it (aiming to have it finished beginning/mid of January). I wanted to have the game ready for Christmas, the promo video is done so definitely will release the game sometimes this week 8) thanks for everyone for the help in testing it and for the suggestions!

Got a latest update for the texts today, the scene with Lora and Heileen meeting the drunk pirates after the dance was replaced. It was meant to be a somewhat sexy/funny scene, but I agree with the writers that came out badly, and could be misinterpreted and for sure doesn't fit well with the general game setting (light comedy). So that one will be removed and replaced with a new one :) After this change will probably release the game!
