Hello everyone! Like last time, I have a few thoughts I wanted to share with you regarding Chapter 3 and what is after... 

Chapter 3 :

I hope you liked the last battle scene? So far, you've mostly seen the goofy Angelica, so I wanted to clearly show the side of her that is a little more badass... Angelica is someone who has already saved her country countless times before, while facing very strong opponents. I wanted to show that against Swordman.

The possibility of a romance between Angelica and our MC is a bit more obvious now. What I want with them is to present a dilemma between reason and passion, it's a theme that really interests me. At the end of the chapter, our two protagonists plan to stay away of each other so that it can't continue... but of course things don't always turn out the way you want them to...

This chapter also focused a lot on Saki, our sword princess. She was a bit neglected in the second chapter, so it was nice to have her get a little more screen time. Needless to say, her conflict with Swordman will be developed a lot in her own route.

And so we have our enemies. So far, you've mostly seen Swordman. Unlike the Shadow Sorceress in Chapter 2, he's an opponent that will stay. There will be more battles with him. And as you can see, I intend to develop his past and his motivations. Same with the other S-level, of course.

Chapter 4 and after…

So, it's finally time for chapter 4. The last one of the common route. I can't express how happy I am to finally work on this chapter. Chapter 4 is probably the most important chapter in the whole story. Many key inventions will take place there. I would go so far as to say that you won't have a complete picture of the HIBTBS story until Chapter 4.

Of course, there are plenty of action scenes to come, chapter 3 was the beginning of the war, chapter 4 is when everyone will have to fight. Everyone will have a moment where he/she can shine.

And after that, the different romance route with our heroine will finally begin. There's a lot more to say, but I'll wait a bit. You’ll have a better idea of what I plan to do once chapter 4 is over.

Last point, some of you have complained that there is still no H-scene in v0.3. I understand the complaint, I'm very careful about this, of course it's an adult game, but it's more a story with H-scenes for me than the other way around, that's why I want to make sure that every adult scene is perfectly integrated into the plot, and feel not forced. But don't worry too much, there will be adult content very soon.

That's it for me. See you guys soon!
