TL;DR: Next update will be released in
early October.
The Good News[/p][p]The upcoming update will be a full overhaul of the Marbia quest, including:[/p]
- [p]At least 40 new animations
[/p] - [p]~80% of stills re-rendered with sharper detail and improved lighting[/p][p][/p]
- [p]Hairy/Smooth variations for Nahir, Alam and Domia[/p][p][/p]
- [p]Alternate model for Fahda (you’ll still be able to play the “classic” if you’d like)
[/p] - [p]Reworked dialogue
[/p] - [p]Added sound effects all over the place
[/p]
[p]Most of the Marbia-related content was created back in 2021, when I was still finding my footing. Looking at it now, I know how far I’ve come, and how much those early scenes needed love. Enclosing a very simple comparison of the same image, one currently in the game, the other from the coming version. [/p][p][/p][p]

[/p][p]And Marbia isn’t just the Ziruan oasis quest. It also covers:[/p]
- [p]Alam, Domia's Ac2s[/p]
- [p]Fahda’s revisit[/p]
- [p]Nahir’s scenes and Act 2
[/p]
[p]That’s a lot of content, and a lot of work. But the results speak for themselves: the renders are crisp, the colors more lively, and the animations really bring the lewd scenes to life.[/p][p][/p][h3]
The Strange News[/h3][p]You might notice I’m calling this update
0.15 and not
1.0, as originally intended.[/p][p]While I handle art, dialogue, plot, and freelancers, I’ve had a long-time partner,
Gojira667, who has been working on the coding side, especially the world map and meta-game systems. Unfortunately, I’ve lost contact with him. My last interaction with him was on
July 26, and since then… silence.[/p][p]Because of the privacy involved in working on adult games, I don’t have alternative channels to reach him. If he doesn’t resurface soon, I’ll need to find a new developer. Such is life in the 21st century of distributed teams, I guess.[/p][p]This doesn’t affect my ability to create
“pure AVN” content, but it does delay the final release. There are still key Khaganate management features I want in place before I can confidently call the game
finished.[/p][h3]
Looking Ahead[/h3][p]The update is still coming, and since Alam and Nahir are among the most popular girls in the game, I think you’ll enjoy this return to the oasis.[/p][p]
Thank you as always for your support, it means the world.[/p][p]Cheers![/p]
