November 27, 2025 Progress Update
Over the past two weeks, I've been busy editing and organizing the newly drawn asset materials, and Now I've completed a brand-new trailer! This time, I invited a voice actor fluent in three languages to handle the narration. Also, I found a mixer to remixed some of the existing music tracks (just to save the budget from making a new track😉). By pushing our artist Birctreel and video editor Birctreel to their limits, we managed to keep the total cost under $150! What can a trailer with such a super low budget possibly look like? Well… let's wait and see…
Also, this week we finished scripting the C22 performance. On a side note, after Ren'Py was updated to version 8.4, I noticed some strange positioning issues in the game's scenes. After reported the issue to Tom, the creator of Ren'Py, on GitHub, and we're happy to say it has been fixed starting from Ren'Py 8.5. This means that in the future, our game may be released on a more advanced and stable version of Ren'Py!
In other news, the entire storyline for Evgeniya's route has now been proofread in English! Our editor Diana spoke highly of the plot. And it seems she really likes Machka. That's a relief hahaha 😄

Q: Why does Vipaci, a mountainous region, produce so many cavalry units and horses?
A: Mountainous areas can indeed produce cavalry and horses! This is mainly due to a combination of geographic and historical factors—and the type of horses bred here is quite different from those in the plains.
The horse breeds native to Vipaci developed in rugged highland environments. Due to the harsh terrain, they formed a symbiotic relationship with humans early on, making them relatively easy to tame. These horses are accustomed to uneven ground, offering better balance and endurance, making them suitable for combat in complex landscapes. They aren't particularly fast, but they're tough and resilient—ideal for long marches. As a result, Vipacin horses have been introduced to other regions over time.
That said, outside of military use, Vipacin horses aren't very popular. As racehorses, they can't compete in speed. Although their fine balance makes them suitable for dressage, their overall appearance is considered a bit rough… Let's just say Vipacin breeders didn't prioritize looks when breeding them 😅
The same logic applies to Vipaci cavalry. The eastern part of Vipaci is notoriously hars. Throughout history, during times of famine, many Vipacins left their homeland to seek livelihoods elsewhere. Those who succeeded often became mercenaries; those who didn't turned to banditry. Either way, their reputation for being… let's say, unrestrained by conventional combat ethics… made them quite feared far and wide. 😓
