I made a sort of list of things left to do until we reach the beta, so people know better about what's going on behind the scenes:



CODING / DESIGN

- I need to code the last area (Mercenary) houses to rob

- I need to code the "final battles" section (no spoilers )

- probably tweak a few skills and check better the vendors (they already work, but haven't seen yet if they need to sell more or less stuff, if the items price is OK, etc). Nothing major though!



WRITING

- Forsaken already wrote both otome/yuri paths. She coded already the yuri, so she needs to finish scripting the otome

- the final scenes (won't say more details because of spoilers!) of the story, plus the epilogues for the various romance combos and other main characters

- some other small writing (like how the sisters find out about the mother, etc). Nothing big though.



ART

- Add all the romances CGs once are done (yuri all done, otome are missing a few)

- Add a few more NPC or fix an issue with sprite height (long story short: the sisters were drawn fullbody, while other characters not, so it's hard to place the other NPC in the game since they look all too short ). I might be able to tweak this myself though, have to try it.

- Maybe add new CG for some final epilogues/scenes (optional)



So as you can see still quite a lot to do, though I think in the next couple of months if things go as this month, we could make good progresses!

OMG the Yuri done first! Woo!!! Why am I starting to feel the hype train? Ooooo I know discussion of the roadmap to beta woooo Soooooon QoT will be in my library!

Wait, I will still release both versions at same time (after what happened with THE CURSED GAME... I don't want to do it again!). That won't cause any delays though, since I'm still finishing the coding, and the otome CG/scripting will probably be done before I finish my task!

Lol all you need is another cursed game but with the highly popular otome version.....I can feel the burn of the perceived rage now o,0

Today coded a good amount of the mercenary area, including a cool scene where randomized bosses show up (they have different name and sprites but if you do 50 mercenary missions, you'll probably encounter two with same name/appearance but at least I tried to vary them a bit!).

I honestly think unless anything happens, I can be done with this part by the weekend.

Then my work is done, I'll need to code the final battles too but I'll do that once all the writing and CGs are finished, hopefully by end of this month (maybe writing will go over March/April though).

started checking all the various scripted yuri scenes today. Mary-Ann kicks asses

Shouldn't that be "stay at home"?

Yes I thought so, will tell writer

edit: she said: "It's not a typo. What I wrote and what Franka suggested are both grammatically correct. It's just a matter of what people think reads best."

Fair enough, I've just never seen it phrased like that. Looking forward to more though!

Me neither, that's why I thought to ask her. Anyway, those dialogues are really hilarious. Just the three sisters talking to each other make this game fun

I am going to step in on the side of the author here, I have heard it said both ways and considering the setting of the game and what I know about who is speaking, I think this fits the speaker better. If Kira were speaking I would agree with you, Franka.

I will have to agree with Franka on this; for simple put British and American sayings are: 'Stay at home', so it will come a bit off for native English speakers, though I must concur that both are grammatically correct. The seemingly normal way seems to be the truncated version; expediency mate! ^_^

I will have to agree with Franka on this; for simple put British and American sayings are: 'Stay at home',

Bit presumptuous to speak for two nations, especially since the writer is a native English speaker. Both are perfectly correct but it can be changed if the majority of testers think it should be.

<3 Lived in both, you are the writer so it your story to tell, and I am not your editor! XD Lol I just want to play this lovely master piece....as soon as humanly possible!

Let's get more context during the beta. It's not the most used phrasing, but it's also not uncommon for characters to have particular speech styles and habits that are difficult to convey in a single screenshot.

In my experience, "in the home" is something I've seen used only in the particular context of discussing gender roles like this.

Well I am a born and bred American, I am quite familiar with both ways of saying it, and how it is said is more a matter of how the speaker communicates. In the home is more likely to be said by an educated person, but at home is definitely the more commonly used form.

This discussion is pretty comical if we consider how sentences end up when Jack writes them. If we took the proofreading of his works anywhere near this level, he would still be correcting SotW.



(Celso, why do you call yourself Jack anyway?)

Yes exactly, is a bit fun to discuss about this when every sentence I write in forums (and not just here) are full of grammar errors



About the jack thing is a nickname that got at my previous daily job, and somehow carried over internet and then stick with it

I'm not an authority on the English language. When I see something that looks wrong compared to my existing knowledge, I point it out though. When the writer says it's correct, I accept that. No need to go any further than that.
