Apostles (Latest Update 0.11: July 2024)

[WaxeRed]

@Torge134

Just finished 0.11 and wanted to say hats off to both of you. CJ’s sprite work was great, especially for Dina, Gretel, Sophia and my personal favourite of the update Sam.

While your writing peak fiction as usual, really enjoyed the subversion of exptation with the parody apostles and how we saw lily mature over the update, with the cliff hanger being the cherry on top. You’ve both put lots of effort into this update and it shows.

Thank you so much! Seeing someone enjoying the game always lets me start the day with a smile!

I’m glad you liked the subversion with the parody Apostles, that was a moment that I was excited to show for awhile! (I actually had the scene written ahead in update 0.10, and hid it in the files!) And of course the cliff hanger reveal was one I’ve been eager to show for an even longer while! I wasn’t sure how exactly I was going to get the information out, but then I was inspired by this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8t16cTYsvXM

@Torge134

A roleplay scene between Veronica and Sophia, in which Sophia is dress as a cowgirl on all fours, with veronica borrowing a trough from sargi and filling it with loads of food for sophia to eat while veronica rubs her belly.

Gonna write that down real quick great idea, and thank you for reminding me of the dream scene from before, that would make a good callback!

Though Sophia hasn’t actually seen any of dream novels just yet! I do think it may be fun for them one day to discover the Detective Lily S. Awesome stories and meet their detective counter parts. But that would be a much, much later event.

@Torge134

I think having the option to choose what dina wants or needs and have it correlate to the level of slob for the scene would beneficial as some players might want minimal amounts others might want average amounts and certain players might want extreme amounts with the optionality benefiting players experience.

While perhaps not quite the same thing, I admit I am hesitant for any true “multi-choice” paths for characters, purely because of my own failures with Red Route Heather. I ended up enjoying Blue Route Heather so much, that the Red Route got less and less content each update, until I quite messily just forced red route into a blue route.

Though on the other hand, I understand making some scenes skippable since some players really dont want to see certain types of content like slob. So while I probably won’t make two completely separate non-slob and Slob Dina routes, I will try to keep her more excessive slob elements optional.

@Torge134

After this scene I Think it would be interesting to see Fresha interact with dana after a its suggested by Gretel as both are going through the similar trauma and their interaction together would be good look into the depths of their characters. After She Then has dinner with Greg and Pamela, where she’s able to relax and laugh after her conversation with Dana, while also showing the side of fresha we don’t often see. During Dinner Fresha get embarrassed when they eventually mention her breasts growth with Pamela and Greg joking that she’s pregnant.Soon leaves after dinner finishes and while walking back home she hears a crash from outside her house, with her walking in to find dina’s bed broken with a suspicious mouse fleeing the room, which would end her section.

I will surely be doing scenes like that soon! Fresha has finally gotten out of her isolationist mindset, like Dana, so it’s time for both girls to interact with the town more. Expect to see both of them play a part in the next town feast/festival!

And of course Fresha will always need to come back to take care of her no-good slob daughter

A bed breaking scene Bringing back Mouse Lily would be fun, so I’ll write that down too!

Thanks again for the suggestions, hope you enjoy what comes next!

I enjoy game a lot, though there are small mistakes I think. Like e.g. Gretel mentioning to wife and husband to say names of three and gives 4 of them. Or I might have not read carefully enough something. Anyway keep up good work.

[WaxeRed]

Thank you, glad you are enjoying the game! Can you be more specific with where the error you saw was?

[Urielzael1]

I am not sure if this is error. It is in long story segment where Maya (Mayor Wife) and Mayor pledges vow to Niss (I hope I get that name right. Again I am not sure if it is mistake because even I like reading I have tendency to sometimes involountary omit stuff. Like there are those 4 names Niss and Gula, Luxuria, Acedia but I am not sure if I just haven’t skipped some important part that mentions those are his part like trinity).

Also I’ve seen very similar game to it but in like desert town settings.

[WaxeRed]

Ah gotcha, think I know the confusion! “Gula, Luxuria, and Acedia” are the 3 names, and the group of them together is known as “The Niss”.

[Yojumbo]

Gula, Luxuria, and Acedia are each individual beings. Incidentally, they are the Latin names for Gluttony, Lust, and Sloth.

“The Niss” is the term our protagonists use to describe them as a pantheon.

[Yojumbo]

While we’re covering gods, you’ve also heard the name Ivo. Ivo is not one of the Niss- he has a religion based around him throughout the Kingdom. He’s similar to the Christian God in our world (the Church of Ivo is Catholicism with the serial numbers filed off). Steph is a particularly devout follower of his.

[Urielzael1]

Yeah this I’ve noticed.
Speaking off I have possible spoiler question because lets be honest I played for 25 hours in total for like 6 days and taking rest for now. Is there more content after festival (which has SBS easter egg).

[Yojumbo]

Yes, a lot of it. I think you’re maybe two thirds done.

[Urielzael1]

Found small bugs in fair.

• If you enter weigthin room from side of bald elf leave and then by accident enter it again and click again you may accidentally bug game so restart of game is needed.
• You can enter on stall
  
  

[WaxeRed]

Thanks for the reports! I’ll make fixes.

[Urielzael1]

No problem, found another possible bug.
After Heather part moved to room part of story we are moved to Super Detective Lily one and there are two sprites of Mistress

[WaxeRed]

Oh shoot, yeah that really shouldn’t be there! TY!

[Urielzael1]

Hello, found another small bug. It is already in new update (aka after talking with spinning Lily segment). I happen to found it after setting date between Bel and Anya (Nullen elf). You can got on a table here.

[WankA12]

I can’t help but feel that’s not an accident. We already have mentions of Ira, Avarita, and Superbia. If I’m not mistaken, the only sin we haven’t seen is vanagloria. 7 sins, each with an Apostle, a manifestation of the sin. 7 virtues, maybe with their own manifestation.

[WaxeRed]

Thank you for the report. I really must not have been paying attention to those stall tilesets. Thank you for letting me know.

Also, it looks like you are nearing the end of the current content, so I very much hope you enjoyed the ride! After a 11 update binge, you must prepare for the cruel waiting between updates, I’m sorry ;( !

[FAsoraKB]

it’s hard for me and maybe for the rest of us to wait between updates BUT it’s truly worth the wait!! more now that we know the next update will be focused on missionary activities and we’ll be able to see Gretel fatten herself up a bit more

[WaxeRed]

There was actually two different times the “full list” of Apostles of the Niss were given. Once by Sebastian to Heather where he listed them as, “Acedia, Luxuria, Gula, Ira, Avarita, Superbia, and Invidia.”

Though the second time the list was given by Clair to the parody Apostle she listed them as, “Acedia, Luxuria, Ira, Avarita, Superbia, and Invidia.”

As for the virtues…you’ll have to wait and see…

[WaxeRed]

Thank you! Means a lot to have people so excited to see these games! I know the addition of Atlas has extended the waiting for Apostles, (still a lot of work left to go there, as it’s somewhat become 2 updates worth of content in 1) but hopefully should be well worth the wait, and something playable might be coming from there soon!

Also, a benefit of the swapping between games lets me relax on one project and regain that fire! I was a bit burned out on Apostles after 0.11, but already I’m eager to get back at it, with some big plans for 0.12. Gretel is gonna get fatter, Sebastian is gonna act even more shady, Lily isn’t just going to Suckle a Duckle, she’s going to Duckle a Suckle!

[FAsoraKB]

don’t worry, take your time, i love atlas too. I really like the obese sprites that you’re using on the game and after seeing the video of what’s going to come to the game i feel excited too i like the whole new map, and… i’m curious to know if the Main characters are going to get fat too?
