New Antioch [R0.4] Dev Log #16 (Patreon)

Hey everyone,

Got a big update for you guys. I completed ~60 renders and 3 animations this week, which means the rendering for ep 4 is all done. I'm now working on the audio, codex, doing a final review of the script, and of course testing. I'll post release dates soon, but before that I remember promising a proper preview of ep 4, so here goes:

Episode 4 is called "Gold and Steel", and will take you through a few days in the life of a rookie praetorian. You'll dip your toes in luxury (literally), but you'll also be getting your hands dirty. Will you stay loyal to Aqua Palma, or take your first step towards New Antioch instead? Will you take a risk for a humble farmer, or be safe and placate the evil that threatens him? Will you ruin a young man's life, or nudge him (albeit harshly) toward a better path?

You'll get closer--emotionally and physically--to a number of love interests. You'll dive into another person's memories, learning the truth about your parents. And you'll be sent on a mission that will ultimately decide the fate of the whole world.

I say this with every new episode, but I think this one's my best work so far. It really fleshes out the city of New Antioch, and with the codex + map, the rest of the world too. It also ramps up the adult content, which I plan on ramping up even further in ep 5.

There will probably be one more dev log before release, so I'll see you all then. The last thing I'll mention is that Aquila, Safiya and Luciana all tied for the April monthly render, which will be coming soon :)

Cheers,
