Conway Update 17 is now available!
Hey everyone to our not-April fools Update.
I just said Updates will release on the 1st every two month, and i'm way too schedule driven to not do it. Just because society has decided that today nobody will believe that it is an actual update, and not just me taking the piss.
So yes, we've got Update 17 ready for you. This one is a bit of a lighter update. During the development we had NFC happening over here, and additionally ended up making the call to delay one of the scenes. But we're still sitting at about 14k words of new scenes, some new art and some of the usual bits and pieces that get added over time. So even if it's not quite where we wanted it to be, I still think it's a pretty solid Update all in all!
Alright, what's new then? let's get into it!
Story Updates:
- Nomax path has been added for the Day 12 night section.
- The Opening for Morocco has been added as well.
- The lashed route should now be fully caught up as well.
Art Updates:
- Added 2 pieces of artwork for the Nomax Day 12 night path.
- Added additional expressions for Konrad, Perce, Arthur, Nomax and Samuel
- Added sunlight layers for Konrad, Perce and Torres
- Added Aryte's Maritime Menagerie Character
- Additional bits and pieces as needed
Other Updates/Fixes/Adjustments:
- More small adjustments to the Textbox UI.
- Added a Click-to-Continue arrow, to indicate when the text is fully displayed.
- Added a border on Character names to aid with legibility.
- Minor adjustments to some Character's Name colors
- Added a click sound to the UI, for a better feeling of the UI.
- Other Minor fixes to previous text. (Typos, small refinements etc.)
And of course it would be amiss of me not to mention that if you want to be one of the cool supporters making this all possible in the first place, then you can do so over on either Patreon or Subscribestar.
The start of the year is always tough and we've taken a bit of a bump in our available funds. So if you'd like to jump on, now would be a great time!

Nomax really had some time to shine this time! Very fun scholar that he is, enough that I was kinda disappointed when I went down the spicier path that almost led to him making a mess in his pants and not getting to see the more magical path where he gets to show off a little more. Beautiful seeing him by the water with his explanation, though I suppose it was a little funny seeing the shift from majesty to MC just fondling him in the naughtier path.
Editing time: "Fine... Fine.. At least you knew Rings O' Barley. That saved us." (Rigs)
Choice "Nomax, some relaxed company is just what you need this evening" (Debatable; could be relaxed if Nomax himself is relaxed or relaxing if the shared company is inducing relaxation)
"Nomax closes his eyes, grasping at memories more slippery than eels." (Notated as Nomax saying this when it is a description)
"Mayhaps. When I smentioned I read it a few more times than needed..."
"The painted chuckles softly." (missing 'dog', though I suppose it might not necessarily be wrong to refer to the painted dog as its descriptor, just unsure if you were making a stylistic choice here that you haven't before afaik within the work.)
"And... All of it is in that book. The passage I recited is even interspersed with impeccable drawings of the small critters." (Personal call, I feel like Nomax wouldn't say 'critters', at least not while being in a more academic mode? Your character though! Just felt a little surprising as a reader to see that all of a sudden.)
"A few sailors have taken their eyes off him, mumbling." (References Sam post gender reveal)
"Yes, sir?" transitioning into "His clothing presents no hindrance when the cheetah makes his graceful way over the gunwale..." (Arthur's lack of legs are revealed during the transition, but understandable if that's not the highest priority)
"Quarantines around here? Are they expecting the plague? . But... that's true, yes, we're all healthy here."(Extra period after the question mark)
"Following the direction She points, you can just make out the jolly boat..." (Capitalization)
"You're not sure what She's got in mind, but Samuel has the respect of the officers, and you'd like to earn her respect in turn." (capitalization)
"A little. If you visit, or just sail along the coast of Andaluc_a, you'll see all the torres we built. The watchtowers." (Instead of an i or í, a strange little box appears. Screenshot attached. Might be dependent on Mac version or even something else?)
Ah very good catches as always. Thank you so much, Azure. Yeah the one transition I'm not sure I can fix, it's just how the game handles the transition from one position to the other. There are most likely other instances like it as well. So yeh, just one of the quirks of the engine and how I position the sprites.
Appreciate bringing it up of course, since it's always better to bring something up once too often rather than me never hearing about it. :)
The rest will of course all be sorted out come the next update. Thank you once again, Azure for lending another set of eyes and helping us polish things up. :)
Many thanks for dont doing this 1.April shit :3
