Hey everyone! We've completed the half-dozen. Ain't that something?

Let's get the Discord Server out of the way first, yeah? If you want to join the official Conway Discord server, you can do so via this link: https://discord.gg/8YPttEsW

Leading with the bad news, Story-wise this one is unfortunately a bit light. I had hoped things would even out a bit after the last update, which, honestly was rather packed in retrospect. But unfortunately real-life turbulences persisted and the writing ended up coming up a bit short.

It feels a bit rough and probably will go through some adjustments in later updates still but it is what it is.  Now the issues should actually be done and dusted If nothing unforeseen crops up then update 7 should be a bigger one in regards to the story part again. (Spoilers since I'm mostly copying this from the old Patreon post, and now of course Update 7 is out. It is an update with more story stuff!)

Art-wise though we're looking pretty good! It might be a bit deceptive because now we're moving away from the main cast, and so the illustrated characters are gonna be less frequently seen, but we have Konrad! The local Ear-Tuft-enjoyer who's got his proper detailed character sprite treatment.

Alongside that, we got the first Patron character in as well! So we got The Senate's character Ayllinwe Sabari making an appearance.

It is a very brief one at the beginning of the game when you're still on the dock, but that's down to sticking to historical accuracy to some degree and so I have to make the women on board the ship count as there weren't many around. It is a very short appearance for now, but she'll find some other spots further down the line.

And lastly in the art department we of course got the illustrated scene in here as well.

Also some refining happened with some of the characters here and there, some new expressions and all that jazz, but that'll be an ongoing thing anyway as I get a better feel for how I want the sprites to look.

And of course the lighting as well! Got two different lighting versions now for every character for some added immersion!
Really happy with this one. It's not quite polished for every character, but i think it adds so much to just tie the scene together.

I think that is about it, we got the Menagerie sketches in as well of course, but yes, for the most part been a month where everything got chipped away at a little bit and I hope you enjoy it even if the added story is short of what I had hoped It would be this time around.

I hope you enjoy this update! And if you want to help this VN get the love it deserves then consider joining the Patreon over here:

It is unfortunately not a self-sustaining project just yet but we are getting close! So I would really appreciate it if you help us along if you've enjoyed your time with it. Every little bit helps, as they say, and even just chipping in a buck a month as a little thank you is greatly appreciated. :)
