I'm happy to announce that you will, in fact, be seeing more of Mikleikko eventually. Once the other nations have at least one route, I'll be swinging back around to him.

Those choices are just not written yet. It's so that players don't assume that there's only going to be one option on that path in the future (like the Continue passages) and also so I know what options my past self wanted when I revisit to write.

Thank you very much for bringing this to my attention, the issue has been fixed.  I ended up rewriting the link code entirely so it should work no matter what date paths you take, and took the time to reformat the line breaks so there should be fewer big spaces in between.

That particular route is unfinished since I'm still fleshing out the clothing system, sorry. Once everything's stable with the system I'll revisit the route and finish it.

Timo's fight revolves around elemental reactions. A closer look at the magic system and why elements react the way they do will be added later on, but for now it's just a matter of remembering which elements lose to the other and which spellbooks represent them. My best advice is to make sure you don't mix up the winning and losing reactions, because if you use an element that's weak to Timo's he'll shred through your health.

Sorry, I forgot to account for negative player health. That issue has been fixed across all versions, and an additional issue regarding the Metal-Water reaction in Phase 1 has been fixed as well. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Since quite a few people seem to be having difficulty with this fight, I posted a guide to the fight on my Patreon. Don't worry, it's not paywalled, it's just long and doesn't really fit in the devlog section. You can find it here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/60210454

Actually, practically all of the attacks in the Camille fight comes in a pair. If you read over the attack descriptions carefully, you'll realize that there are differences in the startup that correspond to the different attacks that he makes. There is no luck whatsoever, I can assure you.

Apologies, that's just a wick I forgot to cut off before release. It'll still be present in the next public build, but the next patron and next next public build will have it fixed. I'll write that passage at some point.

Just released Conquerrence, an NSFW yaoi CYOA Twine grand strategy-esque game. You take the role of a king and decide how to approach other nations and its leaders.

As said on the page itself, this really came out of a desire to see a yaoi game on par with those found in the straight parts of the eroge genre. While some yaoi games are masterfully made, they are so few and far in between compared to straight counterparts that I waited literal years for something that would satisfy what I wanted, grand strategy with a lewd gay twist. Since none came, I just made it myself. While it's tailored mostly to my taste, I hope that other people can enjoy this project as well.

The last time he took a break, it lasted roughly half a year, but given that we're getting all this content for free and at such high quality, I don't mind if he takes these kinds of breaks.

Dev said they're planning a romantic ending as well. It's further down in the comments.

A game that recognizes that anyone can be a bro is great in my books.

My thought process: 'Is that Hotcha? This can't be Hotcha. Oh- It's Drake. It is Hotcha!' I guess I should've expected this given the Minotaur game before, but it's a nice surprise to see more!

I've been checking this page every other day and I see a glorious update to an already brilliant foundation. This is one of the few in-progress games that have managed to get my full attention, bravo.
