Instructions in a Readme inside.
You play the role of Sir Patrik of Akros, a charismatic, handsome and middle aged (for the times) Knight that set by bonds of loyalty and family to the new Countess of Kathia, is bound to gather the fealty of the vassals of his liege, cajole with the outer counts, and overthrow the Duke of Luvia. It will not be only a path of conflict, choices of whom to trust and whom to make a head short, but will let the player enjoy the power fantasy of the Middle Ages, using the lesser and being used by the higher, both for power and for pleasure. In your treacherous journey among medieval politics, nothing will stop you from romancing and lay with any woman that is put in your way, for lust, love or political interest. Not only nothing stops you: Is part of your mission.​

Developer Notes:
Small FAQ:
For those who want to know before hand , playtime (mainstory, side stories, and side minor romances) is from 3 to 4 hours for a single run. (It has multiple branching paths of higher or lesser consequences, also different options to take about the war management part of the game that doesn’t have still an impact until Chapter 3). The important choices present in Chapter One are not branching the end of the game, but the way you go to there)
About game engine:
1-The game includes two fast modes and a hands free mode, they are welcomed due replayability. (I’ll add a text speed control in the next update to fit the hands free mode to your needs).
2-You will have to forgive me for the unability to save the game during cutscenes, but that is mostly a problem just for the prologue, due to being linear and a bit lengthy. Game autosaves and let you manually in some points of it tho.. Beyond the Prologue, you are in “freeroam mode” and you will always have lots of chances to save, and non-important cutscenes are not are not long.
0.20.c Changelog:

-Three first romance trackers coded. May not be perfect yet but are a great improvement for the game.
-Cross fingers this is a good one. (but I’m a bit rusty so…)
Known Bugs for 0.20.d (already fixed for 0.21/0.25)

-Fixed some quest trackers.
-Added final scene (report to Irena) (+34 renders)
0.20.b Known bugs:
-Nothing gamebreaking
-Some typos have been informed that I’ll fix

0.20a Changelog Initial release:
Content and Quickstart:
650+ still renders
60+ video animations
+other animations
+2500 new dialogue lines
(Sitting at 16.064 dialogue lines now total)
Kaelkirk Main Quest complete:
Once Vael gave you the quest (that you probably got earlier), head to Duston villa’s forest. Along your quest, you’ll “replay” some scene various times. Don’t skip them for the second and third time at least, as the text changes significantly. It is a little wit puzzle to solve… And probably you will be entertained during it.
Main Story finish when reporting to Irena.
Chapter 2 Penketh Finished.
(Dexter introductory scenes, more Robin scenes, Full market, Full church interactions and unique scenes)
Chapter 2 Gypsy Camp Finished
(Lia, Emilia and Minerva Progression)
(To continue, taking in consideration you have progressed already at max possible level, talk with Emilia. Progressing in the gypsy quest will take you to Kaelkirk too). Knowing how to progress is easy. With this update, only a final progression (that will be included as extra content in the next updates) with Minerva will be available in chapter 2.
Technical/Others:
New mechanic: Game tracks if is an Odd or Even day. This will allow a bit more complexity on lively places. For example, in up to date progress with Robin, robin will be at the tavern during day time on Even days.(Less extenuating than a full week schedule). So when finally all Robin scenes will be available, on odd days she’ll be in the market, and in even days in the tavern.Will be helpfull when some Hubs become quite busy with characters.
New humor mechanic: Sometimes you’ll get Plus or Minus humor with someone without a direct conversation option; That’s because that result is the accumulation of several previous conversations options (So a plus can be given with 2 of 3 “correct” answers, for example.
More Applied mechanics: It already happened before, but it will more common now as we keep progressing advancing in the story; high stats (400+) will often change Sir Patrik dialogue. After Chapter 2, beyond Path stats, Path Choices taken will affect important options, but we’re not there yet.
If you feel like you’re doing something wrong, like only have 300 lewdness when trying to unlock something of 400 lewdness+…. Unique lewdness gains go up to more than 700! That means you have a lot of scenes you haven’t seen or willingly refused.
Big Documents update: 90% non-updated documents finally filled, and many secrets unveiled (the oldest, oldest savegames, may lack many documents that are given on start a new game since some updates ago, but visiting Penketh will give you the missing documents).
PS:-Also good for refreshing lore when returning to the Luvian marches-
Current engine changes:
-Saving is now handled by a different CPU thread in order to not lag the game while saving (autosaving, etc)
-CPU multithreading to help performance.
Mechanics temporarly disabled (need work):
-The new romance tracker (Most of it, first three trackers coded and visible)
-The new camp system
