This week my focus was on getting the remaining 4 art pieces done and I somehow managed! Here is small collage of the many faces of Mila!

These are zoomed in because most of them are pretty spoiler heavy. One of them isn't and that is why I will be sharing the full image (both versions) with all of my patrons!

The art took of the majority of the development time I had this week, but I did do a bit of polishing to parts of the script that were already written. The casino quest in particular still had a lot that needed to be adjusted with its bad ending and also what happens after you get the canon ending. Casino area is now fully done! I also began creating the battle data for enemies in the game and the writing for those battles as well.

In my very short time play testing, I've decided to make this chapter a bit easier battle-wise than some of the last contracts. I want to strike a good balance of difficulty for players  that decided to do all the contracts and side activities and those that chose not to.  The side activities should be fun and rewarding in their own right, but I don't want to make them a requirement for progressing the main story, at least not this early on.

Earning rewards from side activities will become more necessary near the end of the game, but seeing as this chapter can be played immediately after chapter 2, I don't want there to be so much of a gap. I haven't settled on the balancing of the enemies yet, but my goal is to not make the battles a frustrating experience. Either way, there will be plenty of fodder vampires to fight in this new area and it is still recommended you take down as many as possible to collect more gold and vampire dust. Refilling SP and reaching Faahlda to level up will be easy and convenient in this chapter as well.
