I’m finally back from my vacation! The return trip home was a tiring experience. The late night flight was delayed by a few hours, so I returned home at around 10 AM, my time. I wanted to post a short bonus update last week, but I was pretty exhausted and jet-lagged... 

(Also I wanted to play Zelda since it came out while I was gone…) 

Here’s a few pics I took during my cruise!

Seeing actual mountains like this is a real treat for me. My home state is pretty flat, so this sort of view is extraordinary to see in person! My inner cabin even had a virtual balcony! 

It was a neat addition… if it didn’t glitch out to the windows screen every night at 2 AM.

It felt very appropriate to work on the Terror of the Seas quest while actually out at sea. I did however, get fairly seasick on the second night, so that wasn't very fun. 

I am, however, happy to be back home. The chaos of travel always tires me out. I feel like I need a vacation after my vacation! Overall, I had a pretty good time but I think I'm done with sea travel for a few years at least.

Anyway, onto what you’re really here for!

I’m finishing up the last few scenes for the update. These take place after the Terror of the Seas quest and are just some small interactions with your new thralls. The other scene I’m finishing is the mermaid bad ending, which I wanted to write after all the art for it was finalized. I’ve also decided that the first side quest will become mandatory to complete as a requirement for Chapter 3. Not only to formally introduce contracts into the vampire route, but obtaining a ship will become necessary for future story events…

The cruise did give me some time to work on art, and I’ve got a whopping 3 art previews to share with you this week after my absence! Each with multiple versions! Here are a few teasers!

The full versions of the art are currently available for all my $5 and up patrons. Check it out if you want to help support me.

I’m working on the finishing touches on the last illustration for this update and some minor revisions to character portraits. But, we are getting close to the release of the latest update! I hope you’re excited to experience some new content in the vampire route!

That's all I have to share with you this week. Until next time everyone!
