Content for v3.9.9
Right on the deadline, even a day early!
The main goal of this update is further completing the intro-rework/re-design. With this new update, I'm adding a total of about 90 new images to the game, mostly centered around the story's intro.
I've talked before about my goal with these last two updates. TSSR has become quite a large game, and while at first I didn't have very many resources, I'm now fortunate enough to have those resources as well as having some great colaborative artistic partners.
As a result, many of the newer updates (that were later in the game) had the quality and the quantity of art that I hope the entire game will one day have. But the intro had remained very static, as it had originally been designed.
These two new updates go a very long way in re-working the game's intro, so that new players can immediately get an understanding for what I hope to create, rather having a lot of that good art hidden in the later segments of the game.
How to get to the content
The new scenes are all included in the intro-segment, replaying this should reveal all/most of them.
Other Development news
With this 2nd update, I consider the intro-rework to be largely completed. Players can experience the story with full art, right up to the point where most of the story begins to branch off (like leaving with Kate, or staying to help Thomas).
The rest of the updates for the year will all be new content. Specifically, I hope to release an update for each of the three major storylines (mage, warrior, princess) before the year is over, as well as closing out one of the medium-storylines.
It's an ambitious goal to set, but the script is ready, now I just have to crack the art whip.
