The beta is ready. It's being uploaded as we speak, and in an hour or two you should see an e-mail with the link to download it.
The biggest difference is that Princess Melita's path is now available. There are a LOT of little differences, however, so keep your eyes open for bugs.
A Few Notices:
1: As I prepared this I forgot to remove a testing shortcut character standing outside Princess Tasa's house in Sayda. Looks like an Ogre. Don't talk to it, as it'll almost certainly cause horrendous bugs. It'll be removed in the second version of the beta.
2: The "Upgrade Loyalty" option in the slave pits does not yet work. Shade can be learned early by spending Orgasmic energy. In the second beta and later it will be the only way to learn shade.
3: I rewrote the militia slave's sex scene, check it out!
4: There's a new title screen and custom battle sprites for Rubati and Nanshe.
5: There is still not a servant's quarter to the tower. I'll have that done in version 0.4, along with the Dwarven Heroine's path.
There'll be a lot lot of little tweaks and a few large ones. Bugs may lurk almost everywhere, so please check carefully. Please report the bugs here:

To those of you who have donated and are about to receive this beta: I salute you. I hope you find it fun.
EDIT: The links are out. Enjoy!
Where are the links?
ReplyDeleteI have a mailing list. The beta is released strictly to donators. The general release goes out once I'm sure the game is game-breaking bug free.
DeleteAsking because the 'current game links' is 0.2.6 afaik, is that .3 currently?
DeleteAh, apologies then!
Deleteyou might want to relabel your edit to say that the links have been released to the donators. Instead of only saying the links are out.
DeleteI agree with codered: Although one can easily interpret what is written currently, one should never, and I mean NEVER overestimate the intelligence of one's readers.
DeleteIf I ever learned anything from my silent lurking on Fenoxo's blog, it would be this:
There's no such thing as too much clarity.
What's the minimum donation required to be on the donator list and get early releases?
ReplyDelete$2...no $300!!! Just kidding, he mentioned earlier that he's had people donate as little as a dollar and as much as $450 but all donaters are treated equally and given a beta.
DeleteIf you donated before the beta and haven't received a copy, I almost certainly missed you when going over the list of donations. You should send me an e-mail with the e-mail you used to donate. I'll confirm that you donated in my paypal records and send you out a copy.
DeleteIf you donated right AFTER the beta came out I don't always send out copies individually. I'll send it at some point today when I have the chance.
When is the general release?
ReplyDeleteWhen the donators have the game crashing bugs, and Cypress has fixed those bugs. So hopefully less than a week.
ReplyDeletePossibly quicker, he's been hammering out the bugs incredibly fast and other than a simple mistake he made with a couple extra monsters that will crash the game if you select them, there aren't any game crashing bugs. Just things that needed to be fixed for the story and one spell that was backfiring big time. I think he's gotten pretty much all the bugs already.

Agreed. I want to write out the Bandit Camp after a Melita victory, and then release a version of the game after that to make sure I didn't break the game fixing bugs.
DeleteOnce I'm sure there aren't any significant bugs in the second beta, I'll get ready for the general release.
I think you once mentioned eventually adding an option to betray both sisters. Did you add that already or did you decide not to do it in the end ?
