Here are the release notes for 0.7.04 update, enjoy: - A new machine has arrived in Zalesie: a manure spreader. Load it with manure or compost, harness it to a tractor or horse and efficiently increase the fertility of your fields. - A new machine has appeared in Zalesie: a trailer. Large and capacious, with drop sides. A horse won't be able to move it, and even a tractor may have a problem with it, but you can transport half a farm on it. - The sawmill twins revealed a certain explosive recipe to Casimir. If you're annoyed by ruined houses, tanks, trees or fish then try a new piece of equipment that can be glued together on a work stool. - The sawmill twins have started selling fir and poplar cuttings. - The farm's composter and manure pit have gained significantly in capacity. - Staszek found a manufacturing defect in the diggers and reworked a few parts so that these wonderful machines now harvest as much as Kazimierz's overworked hands. - Staszek also adjusted a few things on Kazimierz's tractor. The machine is now able to pull uphill not only itself, but also heavier loads. - Kazimierz has learned to travel with the help of a map in such a way as to always set himself in the right direction on the spot. - You can already liquidate found and unneeded jewelry. Ask at Zoska's. - Casimir has come to an agreement with the local traders and from now on he can sell them goods directly from the cart or wagon. - Antek has rethought a bit about the contracts he orders and decided to make them a bit more affordable. They come in versions of varying degrees of difficulty. - Another batch of tasks that were blocked for some players has been unlocked (e.g. New Life at Philip's). - Annoyed by disappearing seeds and duplicate items, Casimir decided to change his approach. A side effect is grenades, which eventually merge into groups in the inventory. - Casimir's wife no longer tries to bring a horse into the stall along with a harnessed device.
For the STEAM Winter Sale Maid Mansion will be 20% off. :)
Those of you who are reading this are probably more interested in finally getting an update on the DLC for the game, so I'll get right into that. Some of this information you may already know, but wanted to share with any of our newer customers.
Script
As has been mentioned before, the script is fully done and has been for some time. I hope to go through that here over the holidays, add in my notes, and finally pass off to our programmer.
Sprites + CGs
These have been updated and the newest (7) CGs to be added with the DLC are also ready. Mild spoiler warning on which characters will get more screen-time... ;)
With my holiday time off, I'm definitely hoping to get caught up on this work as well, and will be in contact with our awesome animator to keep moving forward on it.
Voice Acting
As of right now, I have approximately 9 of 14 voice actors work completely done and ready (all lines are approved and "split" for programming). 2-3 more I expect to have done within the next couple days. The remaining are in various stages of completion.
Takako - delivered, checking files this weekend to begin line splitting (Saturday) Narumi - completed Umeko - delayed, still waiting Kaori - completed Misaki - delayed, needs modifying Reiko - audio files need modifying + line splitting tomorrow (Friday) Pa Zong - completed Sarana - completed Akemi - completed Chisato - completed Cheryl - working on today to finish line splitting (Thursday) Makoto - completed Romana - completed Mutsumi - completed
*line splitting - means cutting up delivered audio files into their separate lines*
DLC Release Date
Given the current speed of things, my hope would be to release the DLC in time for the Steam Spring Sale (on or before March 16th 2023). Honestly, that might be a bit too ambitious at this stage, but that would be my goal. And as its been mentioned before, I still plan for the DLC to be FREE once it's ready.
Thank you all to those who have purchased Maid Mansion before, or those that will purchase it in the future. Your help goes towards this DLC and my next upcoming project. Stay tuned. ;)
