[p]Development for v0.14 is progressing nicely. Though it's still a bit too early to announce a release date, it should follow the usual schedule, with a release planned between December to January.

[/p][p]The new story content will be divided into two main parts: the flashback of the MC's past, and a direct continuation of what happened in v0.13. There will also be a new scene added to Act 1, as well as new positions and improvements to the training system.

[/p][p]The flashback shows events from nine years ago, with the MC in their early twenties. This is a very important part of the overall story and the MC's growth as a character. It will also touch on some philosophical and moral questions, which I think are important for a dark fantasy game.

[/p][p]After the flashback, the story will return to the present with the MC and Valerie in the forest. The rest of the update will set things up for v0.15, which will conclude Act 3 and kick off Act 4.[/p][p]v0.14 adds plenty of new training positions, including a proper scissoring position for female playthroughs. Some players weren't a huge fan of the original scissoring position, so this version should be far more appealing.[/p][p]Though the new training positions are still a work in progress, you can expect a nice variety in what's added.

[/p][p]I've also added a short scene to the start of Act 1. After the MC helps Lucius for the first time, the MC will find themselves robbed of their precious gold coin. The way the MC handles the situation will be determined by your personality type (diplomacy, reasoning, or intimidation). This should improve the pacing of the early game, which otherwise was a bit slow for some players.[/p][p]Anyway, that's a small teaser of what you can expect from v0.14. [/p][p]I hope you look forward to the next dev update. Thanks to everyone for supporting Rebel Duet![/p]

[h3]v0.13 of Rebel Duet is now live![/h3][p][/p][p]This update significantly advances the plot, setting the stage for the Act 3 climax. It adds four major sex scenes (two male, two female), with extra content for players who have chosen the sharing route.[/p][p]Development took a little longer than expected, but the update should be much better as a result.[/p][p]I hope you enjoy it! Please feel welcome to share your thoughts and suggestions, as well as reporting any bugs you might encounter.[/p][p][/p][h2]Patch Notes (v0.13)[/h2]

[p]v0.13 is about 75% complete, and will be releasing between early-to-mid September![/p][p]
[/p][p]During your date with Valerie, you'll experience an amusing situation as Valerie mistakes a portly man for an ogre. There's a lot she still doesn't understand about this world... and she is, after all, quite the troublemaker.[/p][p][/p][p]This update also utilizes the narrator's voice (third-person) more often, particularly during Rena's fight scene. I've had a lot of fun writing these parts, since they allow me to expand on the lore and fight mechanics in real-time. [/p][p]Since these parts take more time to write, I'll continue using the narrator voice in moderation going forward.[/p][p][/p][p]With the release of v0.13, Act 3 will become the longest story arc so far. After this, there will be two more updates before the arc wraps up, so I'm expecting it will be the largest overall of the 8 planned acts. Much of the character development and emotional payoff will happen here.[/p][p][/p][p]I hope you enjoy playing v0.13 in just a few weeks! Thank you for reading this dev update, and for supporting Rebel Duet.[/p]

[p]v0.13 is now halfway complete! I plan to release it by the end of August, though there's a chance it could fall into early September depending on how smoothly the writing process continues.[/p][p][/p][p]During your date with Valerie, you'll be able to deepen your bond with your succubus partner. While most of Act 3 has focused on the other heroines, this date brings the spotlight back to Valerie.[/p][p]In terms of sexual content, this date will also provide the opportunity for something a little different— namely, getting frisky with Valerie in a public place. Will you give in to the thrill of potentially being seen or heard?[/p][p]During your time together, you and Valerie will also run into a familiar face: Mira. [/p][p][/p][p]While the date is filled with light-hearted fun, the rest of v0.13 takes a considerably more serious tone. The protagonist, Valerie, and Rena are forced to depart their home and confront a familiar threat. [/p][p]To survive, the three of you must fight together and devise a strategy to take down an enemy far more powerful than any you've encountered so far.[/p][p][/p][p]Towards the end of v0.13, you and Valerie sit down for a heart-to-heart conversation. This is one of the few times Valerie truly opens up and shares her raw, unfiltered emotions. [/p][p]What happened in Valerie's past? Has her thirst for revenge faded, or has it merely taken a backseat for the time being? These questions—and more— will be answered in v0.13.[/p][p]Thank you for reading this devlog, and for supporting Rebel Duet! I'll have one more devlog to share before the v0.13 release. I hope you'll enjoy playing it soon.[/p]

[p]Development for the next major update (v0.13) is underway and proceeding smoothly! I expect it will be released faster than usual— potentially before the end of the summer— but I'll be sure to keep everyone updated as development progresses.
[/p][p]
At the start of v0.13, you'll have the opportunity to go on a date with Valerie before Rena's attack begins. This will include both romantic and sexual content, and will serve as the last big slice-of-life section of Act 3.
[/p][p]
Naturally, this update includes a lot of action, as Rena begins her assault on the vampire nests. However, it won't be an easy task for her, as the nests are guarded by a powerful foe.

[/p][p]This assault kicks off the main phase of Act 3, pushing the story into heavier and more emotionally charged territory. Valerie receives important character development, which directly connects to the protagonist's personal arc in the following update. [/p][p]Towards the end of v0.13, players will have the option for another sex scene with Valerie. Unlike previous scenes, this one is designed to be different in tone, as it will be more romantic than sexual. Although Rena's and Annestria's scenes have already featured romantic dialogue, I felt it was the right time for players to develop a stronger emotional bond with Valerie as well. [/p][p]Thank you for reading this progress update, and for supporting Rebel Duet! I'll have more details to share in the next dev update.[/p]
