Update 2.4 Mission 07 Added


Hello Internet Void,

I had a lot of fun with this mission update, so I hope you all enjoy some rogue vs rogue! I had some extra time to properly test this time so I apologize for some of the bugs that slipped through last month. Please let me know if I missed anything!

Bug Fixes/typos with Katnir’s, Beileph’s, and Beisel’s bond chat, and some quips bugging out were fixed. Fixed bug where forest entrance was not appearing as an option in the Bandit's Hideout.

Lots of fixes to spelling and grammar in mission 5 + 6 content

Added mission 07 Cat and Mouse

Added new dungeon “Underground Roots” exploration + 3 new BGs

Added Ashur’s voice, Ashur’s battle sprite: Ashur’s voice lines added to mission 4 Sewers scenes (Sorry about the delay!)

Added Ashur’s Skill Trigger animation “Sleight Hand”, Jeth’s Skill Trigger animation “Execution”

Added quips 7 to the quip chain (available after mission7 completion) (there is variant dialogue to reflect romance route going forward!)

Added new relax notes based on +4 bond level with common units,+5 bond level with elites

 Added new gossip and wander convos post Battle of Brookhaven in both the forest hideout and Brookhaven

Added morning new helper routines for forest hideout and added Beileph and Beisel to the morning rotation in Brookhaven

New gods dream

I'll be getting started on my break with OtomeJam now so thanks again everyone for the love and support~!

<3 Jen

Hellooo! ı couldnt help but wanted to play this game since ı was kind of stressed out and wanted to take a rest (from university work)... and well although ı said only a peek for new update story was reeallly good so ı ended up playing whole update ^^; !  well ı can simply took it as me taking a day off hehe x3 well while wondering what will happen ı arrived to forest without having any idea how huge adventure was waiting for me. at first things were going normal and ı was trying to detect the culprit who gave info the crown (and failed haha) then suddenly two ''girls'' came to me and suddenly pulled me to outside of hideout.. well although at first tried to resist nothing changed so in the end ı decided to get helping them option since ıt didnt really matter about choices. at this rate ı was like ''yep ım doomed..''. in kidnapping scene ı was actually feeling sad for katnir because ı literally walked the path he said dangerous thinking ı can survive ıf ı just dont get out from the hideout but nope. though Ashur (ı hope ı wrote his name right..) immediately got my attention... at first ı was really irritated how he was saying he didnt mean that but in the end he literally helped jeth to kidnap me (even though he didnt really know about kidnapping) but my thoughts and anger slowly changed into... well .....sympathy??? ım not really sure but the moment ı got swallowed by ground with him, Beileph and jeth ı managed to see his character better.. ı could tell that he is blunt, selfish ( ı mean even though he did his actions for a reason there was tons of better ways to do it just as Beileph said.. he could try to get it legally without just trying to steal it) but he is not a bad guy... well at least not entirely.. Ashur kind of reminds me of hopeless villains who are there like for pure comedy (not to mention how both him and other water rouge of this game are kind of similar?? like wow are all water rouges are like this? XD). as for jeth... well he didnt do much to my suprise but with witnessing trasient one's power ı guess he will weigh his thoughts. (since ı stubbornly won every battle using quick saves but ı admit all elit rouges made battles so easy) ı seriously cant read jeth XD.. but the way he was staying calm most of the time and helped at the end where sudden explosion (?) happened was good. ı seriously thought he would at least fight against me to take his chance to get me but he didnt do that either. well ı guess ı will see whats in his mind in future. as for the scene where suddenly my team arrived at the roots (?) goldfish memory here. sorry) poor katnirs hand suddenly got burned and something inside of that tree took the ''heart'' away and then explosion (?) happened. I cant help but think that perhaps we awakened someone we should never have... like perhaps one of the old ones? ıf so that would explain why gods suddenly said ıts becoming dangerous for me to communicate with them and they wont be able to do it for a time and warned me to stay away from variables... which is creepy because ı have no idea what was they talking about especially those ''variables'' was it something like ı should stay from people who would take advantage of me? or like perhaps the one who got awakened can create dangerous things or situations and ı should realize it and run away? ı have no idea but ıt seems like either new boss or someone strong joined the story and while ı do hope they are friendly ı also highly doubt it :'). oberall storrryy was soooo excitiiinggg ı had tons of great time while playing it ! ıdk why but perhaps because of ı never thought story could keep like this (ı just thought ı was about to battle with jeth haha... ı know ım saying this twice but he really suprised me alot that he actually didnt tried his chance more than once and he also suprised me with kinda interesting plan he did with Ashur ıdk why but ı felt like he just joined in the plan with ''lets see what will happen and what ı can get from it'' mode XD)  so once ı realized things were getting different shape ı was actually pretty happy.. with this chapter ı guess the story took on a broader perspective. but ı like it X3 !! thank you for all the hard work!



well right after story finished ı immediately wanted to give Lor the pendant ı made for him so ı was excitedly choosing gift options.. getting ready for his reaction well until ı noticed that ı cant give him the pendant :') game told me that ı have to finish mission 6 first but ı already did? plus ı cant seem to finish mission 7 too because whenever ı visit Beisel she says Ashur should cool down first.... so ı guess ım kind of stuck haha what should ı doo ;-; or perhaps game doesnt have routes yet? then ı will get my rings ready and wait :3

edit: ı finally managed to get one oath ring after dealing with beasts many many times but once ı also tried to give it to certain person (well ıts not a secret ı just made oath ring for Beisel). but game said exactly same thing. I could manage to give token ı had so the problem is for the friendship and romance paths.

here is a screenshoot:

Hi JustaOneGirl,

I hope that everything is going well with your University work and that you are getting enough rest. Please try not to stress too much, it's not good for your health!

I'm glad that you enjoyed this mission content, as it was meant to be pretty playful and fun. I'm glad I was able to surprise your expectations a bit, as I do try to mix things up and not let the story get too heavy with constant wars, tragic backstories and stuff. Hopefully it was a good break.

Thank you again for sharing your experiences and interpretations of the events and characters! It's always so helpful for me to see if my words are being interpreted as I intended, as I'm not always the most direct with my writing and characterizations. 

I apologize for the forgotten text in that pendant/ring offering. I decided to re-work the pacing of the bond conversations since the story had been expanded and I forgot to change that information text. I was planning on having these gifts and bonds unlock after the next mission 08. I'm very sorry for that mistake and any confusion it might have caused. The bond 6 conversations will be a pretty hefty amount of text and story in their own right, as well as introducing the bond specific morale skills, so I might try to make a separate update for this added content alone if needed.

Again thank you so much for sharing thoughts with me and I wish you the best!

<3 Jen
