Hi everyone, The patch this week is short, in terms of playable content, because most of it was spent doing 3 things: - Trying to fix a single bug that took 2 days - Adding new, hand-made tomes to the cove that detail every weapon skill and every spell in the game, right down to their damage formulae. No more puzzling over what things do or spending essence blind. - Tweaking/Rebalancing a lot of moves and equipment Also added a couple of DEEP SECRETS this time around. Hope you enjoy.

Fifty versions! JEEZ. Since I took 1 week off for Christmas last year and 1 week off in June this year, this means I've officially been releasing weekly builds for a full year. I know I say this a lot, but it's unbelievable to see how far we've come at times. Looking back at our launch version, 0.01, it was just the opening sequence at Shiveworth, hanging around the town, visiting your aunt at the abbey, and climbing aboard the ship. It seems particularly ironic that exactly 1 year later, we return to Shiveworth again. This time... not as Mercy? Anyway, I'll have some more news about new patrons rewards coming soon, probably early next week. The long and short of it is that I want to do something special for the folks who've been around a long time as a gesture of my sincere appreciation. Here's to another year! New to the game?

New Weekly & Alpha Builds! Hey folks, we're very happy to bring you the latest weekly build and alpha builds this week, featuring art as a result of the latest art poll for our patrons! The second place result, "Mercy & the Idol," has also been commissioned, so you'll have even more nice-looking scenes coming in the near future. Drawing took up almost my entire week, but there's still a nice little bit to play in the weekly build, so we hope you enjoy. New to Daughter of Essence?

New Weekly Build: v0.52! Good evening! Here is the latest & greatest, version 0.52--a respectable number by any metric, but especially a gambler's. This has been a week of system-implementation and bug-wrangling, but there's also a pretty juicy sequence of brand new story content that I hope everyone enjoys. One thing that is important to note is that there are a few variations to this week's story content--five, to be precise--which is the first major crossroads we come to with regards to the player's choice re. yielding or resisting the essence all this time. NEXT week, patrons can expect some spicy new written scenes, at the very least. New to the game? Try the public build at: http://patreon.com/indoorminotaur Best, Nym Version 0.52 - 9/28/2018

Latest Weekly Build: v0.53! **[SPOILERS AHEAD]** *** In her hubris, Mercy returned to Shiveworth and was captured by Oldlight. She has been blinded, shackled and subject to the Church's "conditioning" rituals, whereby they strip their finders of everything that makes them who they are. But Mercy cannot forget. Not even if she wanted to. She is the Daughter of Essence. *** If you haven't been keeping up, the latest chapter takes a pretty sharp turn. The latest build is, by far, the most complex yet, stacking choices on top of choices for what amounts to three separate paths and dozens of slight variations between them. As you can imagine, this is time-consuming, and it's in a stage of only half-completion right now, so I do NOT recommend saving over your old file until it's completed and all the kinks are smoothed out. That said, the game also adds a couple of radical new NSFW scenes to the game, so PEEP EM if you want. Want to try the game? The public build is at http://patreon.com/indoorminotaur. Version 0.53 - 10/5/2018

New Weekly Build: v0.54! Hey everyone! Continuing from last week's theme, we have another intricate, multi-path release, and the end of the chapter is finally starting to take shape. This is another rough WIP build, but there's a lot to tinker around and experiment with, so my advice is to make multiple new save slots and don't overwrite your old one. That said, if you're more of a "wait and see" kind of guy or gal, I think next week will be the build that finally finishes tying all these threads together and cleans up some of the loose ends. Plus, if my memory serves, there's also an alpha release next week, so bonus points to me for timing it perfectly. New to the game? Try out the public build at http://patreon.com/indoorminotaur.

New Alpha & Weekly Builds: v0.55! Hey everyone! VERY excited to announce that the last 3 weeks of development hell on this portion of the chapter are finally finished. This section has been tested extensively, and it's in a pretty good place, but if you do encounter any issues, please let me know. Once you play it, I think you'll understand how much can go wrong with all the different variations. Somewhat surprisingly, this also marks a denouement of sorts in this particular chapter, which means it's not too far away from wrapping up and going public. We might see that in a few weeks, depending on how hard or easy the next portions are to make. If you're new to Daughter of Essence, you can try the public build at http://patreon.com/indoorminotaur. Thanks, Nym Version 0.55 - 10/19/2018

New Weekly Build: v0.56 Hey, folks! Got a fresh new build right outta the oven with a lot of little tweaks and updates, many of which have to do with the fact that Mercy needed new sprites for fishing, riding Orus, combat, etc. on account of her change in appearance. Remind me to never change Mercy's appearance again! Other than that, making a little more progress on the story and managed to squeeze in a spicy new NSFW scene in the process. Hope everyone enjoys.

New Weekly Build: v0.58! I CANNOT believe another week has blown past us already. They're going so fast! 58 of the things so far? Anyway, have some cool new features for the game this week, like a fancy new map of the different factions in DoE, based on player recommendation. Hopefully having something like this early on will help visualize who's who and what's what in the world. Made a ton of bug fixes this week and implemented a secret new NSFW scene. It's time-sensitive, so find it if you can! New to the game? Want to become a patron/try the public build? Visit http://patreon.com/indoorminotaur Best, Nym Version 0.58 - 11/9/2018
