Transylvania 0.3.10 - The Pledge + Progress update

Hello everyone,

The new patch is finally here! This update brings new story, scenes, art, engine updates and a step closer to completing Chapter 2.

But first, let's look at the yearly recap - in January 2021, we set a target of roughly completing Chapter 2 by the end of 2022. So where are we at ? The answer is - almost there.

With the current patch and the Elder's storyline, all of the major things are in place. You should notice Chapter 2 beginning to feel a lot more "free form", with locations being interconnected and many events being "free floating" like they are in Chapter 1, instead of railroaded to happen at a specific moment of your playthrough.

Our immediate forecast is as follows: *A* conclusion to the storyline in Chapter is coming in February, with more alternatives and variations to account for different choices coming in March. After the backbone is complete and stable, we will spend at least 2-3 months adding some extra scenes and variations for traits, clothing, relationship choices and other flavor and personalization options  to make sure that the conclusion you reach in Chapter 2 really feels your own. After that we will begin work on Chapter 3, which will be shorter, and we're still aiming to complete around end of this year.

Without further ado, full patch notes below:
