This is it
🕑 Added 2023-10-23 12:28:35 +0000 UTCWe are now working on V1.0, the final build of Aurelia!
What does this mean?
For starters, it's going to be a big endeavor, the game is gotten quite massive after this 5 years, specially due to the patreon mentality of "gotta rush content out or people will lose interest"
But at the same time, that rush has made the game somewhat buggy, unpolished and inconsistent in many places.
Therefore, we will be moving away from that "Patreon lifestyle" and dedicating our full time from now on to finishing and polishing Aurelia to the best of our ability.
We will keep Patreon around, but change the rewards shortly according to what I've written above.
AND NOW THAT WE ARE DONE TALKING SERIOUS STUFF!
This is what you guys can expect from 1.0
- Probably the biggest build we've ever done, both in content and quality.
- A complete rework of Ivy's questline. Including all new dialogues and scenes.
- Finishing the main game storyline and giving it a proper ending.
- Adding the last few scenes for Duchess/Eri/Ivy/Scarlet.
- Big reworks to both Lily and Janet content, both in writing and a few reworked scenes.
- Testing and polishing almost every questline in the game as much as we can.
- Reduced or outright removed a lot of unnecessary "grind" / "fetch" questlines.
- 2 more locations.
- New OST, more in line with our retro feel. And yes, the old OST will still be there to those who want it!
- Much more structured game plan, no longer finding places you can't "unlock yet" or having to check the wiki/Naamu religiously.
- Integrated the EXTRA SCENES into the game as it's own mechanic related to a certain character.
So, when do we expect to have all of it done?
Most of Ivy's content is already done (you can check in our discord).
The Duchess/Eri content is soon to follow and our aim is to end that content by December.
After that we will dedicate the rest of our time to the Lily/Janet content and to finishing the game properly. Which means 1.0 will most likely be released in the first half of 2024.
In the behalf of the entire Mirthal Games team, I want to give you all guys a big thanks, this wouldn't be possible without you supporting us.
See you in the next (and final) build!

We are pretty happy with Crystal's questline and scenes atm.

I hope Crystal can get some more love.

Love the game. The old OST is great. Can I access the music files?

Thanks John, while this might be Autelia's end, its just the beggining of what we want to do :)

I just have to say, as someone who struggles to enjoy most erotic games I find on the internet, this game is the best in it's class. Others deter me with their awkward dialogue or wayyyyy too much exposition. This is one balanced it all perfectly and hit that sweet spot. Thank you for this wonderful experience and I'm glad I got to contribute towards this game on here and watch it grow. Cannot wait to see what you guys make next. Will definitely be there to support and play whatever it is you have planned.

I'm a simple man of culture. 1. I support games that look like they will be good, so no need to feel rushed. Just keep us consistently updated with dev updatesand take as long as you feel you need to create the game as best you can. Screw the impatient ppl. Well, I say that but I get the balance needed cuz of needing the support, but still, quality can't be rushed. Just keep me updated with progress updates and to let me know you're alive and we're good. 2. Options and plenty of content. 3. As long as I get a proper harem ending option out of this after everything's said and done, I'm good. Like I said, I'm a simple a man of culture.

No worries, I have the same reaction to that fact.

just noting the pass of time nothing to do with dev time!

Man, it's been quite the journey since I found this game. It really is crazy to see it coming to completion, thank you for all the hard work!!!
Mirthal
I felt like the game has grown enough in content for the "click on everything" game plan to fall more on the "huge time sink" side than on the "necesary retro padding" old games had due to their techological limitations. That said, we will certainly keep the sandbox/exploration elements in the game (and probably add a few more), just trying to make them more pleasurable and less frustrating.

I didn’t think you’d include a “more structured game plan” cuz the charm of oldie games was clicking on ever damn thing. Fun if you’re bored to find hidden animations or treasure but a huge time sink.
Mirthal
We will certainly try to have it in as many platforms as we can.

Thank you for all the amazing work you have treated us to!! Will the game be available on other platforms than steam like itch.io? I for example live in a region where "heavily nsfw" games aren't sold on steam and similar platforms unfortunately.
Xurican
No, thank you for making such a good game.
Mirthal
Eri does have 2 more scenes. 🥳
Jaycen
Just let me bang the cat girl and I'll be happy 😘

I'll ask our composer!

Thank you for all the hard work you've put into it, and i'm happy to have been there for part of the journey of the full game. Please take the time you need, till you all feel satisfied with the game. 💜

Also: "Final means no more content? EVER!?" We will likely update Aurelia after 1.0 to add a few scenes (or characters) we wanted to add but didn't get to the 1.0 It'll heavily depend on how well Aurelia does in Steam. "But I don't want you guys to stop doing content!" We are not, after Aurelia there are many projects we want to adventure in, many worlds to explore and ladies to romance.
