Peek-a-boo !

It took a while, but I FINALLY finished writing Hilda’s third and final romance quest. I’m pretty satisfied with how it turned out and I’ve already started implementing her quests with the placeholder art.

So why did it take so long ?

Well first, I didn’t write everything in one go. I did the first and second quests in December, and the third one took a major part of January. Second, I did other stuff as well, some days I felt more like coding or designing other parts of the game, which is how I generally function the best. Third, I wanted to have some sort of detective story and while I won’t know if I hit or miss until 0.3 gets released, I did have to prepare a lot because there are things you can’t improvise with that setting.

And lastly, her questline is A LOT bigger than expected. That third quest alone is around 7000 words, the size of a small novel. The three quests together make 16 000 words, which is longer than the 5 quests for both Y’shtola (~13 000 words) and Estinien (~11 000 words), though to be fair these two will have some future “epilogue” quests and content with their couple / polyamory routes.

As for Hilda, the content in this update (and the friendship route I’ll write after a short break) will probably be all there is to her. There are A LOT of characters I want to implement in this game, so aside from the "main" romances (3 males and 3 females) and their special treatment, the rest will also have all of their content released in their update.
