Rebel Duet news & patch notes

Development for v0.15 is in its final stages and is expected to be completed within the next few weeks. This puts the scheduled release date in July.

Though I was hoping for a June release, the scale of the action scenes required a bit more development time. I've also increased the size of the update with several extra Act 4 scenes, leading to a more balanced mix of action, character development, and story progression.

On the way to the bedroom, you'll encounter Valerie, prepared and waiting for you. Her seductive behavior adds some spice before the main dish - the nightly training of your naughty succubus.

The Act 4 section of v0.15 adds two training sessions. Of course, there will be new positions added in this update, and if it's been a while since you last played, you'll get to experience all the new training content from recent updates as well.

An extra scene with Rena has also been added. Here, you'll get to spend some quiet time together, and learn more about her through dialogue choices. Rena's past, her dreams - and more.

I felt it was important to give Rena more time to shine, as the past few updates were a little more Valerie-focused. You'll also get to spend plenty more time with the other heroines (especially Annestria) throughout Act 4.

I've also added a new scene showing some of the consequences of using Death's powers, as well as an extra map scene focused on worldbuilding.

These were all originally planned for v0.16, so this update should feel a bit beefier as a result. There's a chance additional content could be added beyond this, provided it doesn't interfere with the planned July launch.

I hope you look forward to playing v0.15 soon, and apologies for its development taking longer than usual. Act 4 should be released considerably quicker as the story is much more grounded and character-driven. Going forward, my goal is to release one major update roughly every 2-3 months.

As always, thank you for supporting Rebel Duet. Feel free to share any feedback or questions you might have!

v0.15 of Rebel Duet is now around 65-70% complete. Most of the Act 3 climax has been rendered, and I've expanded parts of it with a few extra scenes, including a brief (~5 min) reveal of Avarenth's past.

This section of the story is quite a bit different from previous fight scenes, as the stakes are much higher and there are some lasting consequences that come from it. Without spoiling too much about the fight itself, you can expect both the protagonist and the girls to be pushed to their limits.

Working on these scenes has been a lot of fun, as there are some new types of magic introduced, and we get to see the main characters at their strongest with nothing holding them back.

After the climax, Act 4 will give the characters more time to breathe and relax. Alongside the main story, there will be a larger focus on romance, sexual content, and everyday life moments.

For example, the next update (v0.16) will expand the harem elements with the first Rena x Valerie threesome, and a more 'intimate' date with Mira.

If I had to rate some of the story arcs by how dark they are, I'd say Act 3 is around a 4/5, Act 4 is more like a 2/5, and Act 5 will probably be the darkest at 5/5. Act 4 is intended to be more of a breather, while still playing an important role in the main story.

Overall, this update is shaping up to be a pretty large one with a nice variety in content. Though the first half is quite dark and intense, the new Act 4 scenes will shift things back to a more relaxed atmosphere.

Thank you again for supporting Rebel Duet, and I hope you enjoy playing v0.15. I'll have one more devlog to share before it drops.

v0.15 of Rebel Duet is now about halfway complete. It's still a bit too early to give a release estimate, but the v0.15 update should have significantly more content than the previous one.

Development for v0.15 is going well, with most of the new Act 4 scenes fully complete, along with part of the Act 3 climax.

As the MC returns to their everyday life, you'll overhear and participate in a conversation between Lucius and a customer. This will help to expand the lore a bit further, and in the future (including optional map events) you'll get to have similar conversations with the locals.

The first full day of Act 4 is complete, but there's a decent chance the second day will be included as well. This would likely be a 'free day' involving the map screen, but I'd like to add a few extra scenes and events as well, potentially expanding into the early parts of the third day.

The next update for Rebel Duet (v0.15) is still relatively early in development, but it's already shaping up into one that I think a lot of players will enjoy.

This update will contain two main parts: the climax of Act 3, and the beginning of Act 4.

The start of Act 4 introduces several new characters, including the game's first dark elf. Though I'm still working out the full extent of their roles in the story, I'm considering the dark elf joining as a potential ally.

So far, all the MC's combat-ready friends have been women, so adding one guy to the ranks should make the party dynamics more interesting. As a side note, it could also give the female MC an option for a male love interest, which will likely appeal to some players.

We also get to see Valerie passed out in bed, hungover from the previous night. It seems she went a little overboard with her drinking at the tavern, much to the MC's embarrassment...

This update will also build up towards a number of events that will follow in v0.16, such as a threesome with Valerie and Rena, the second Lucius sharing scene, and romance with Ann & Ellania.

Overall, this update should have more broad appeal than the last one, since there's a solid variety in content. I expected some mixed reactions to the v0.14 release since it was very much a story-focused update, but it seems to have been received pretty well by most players.

As always, thank you for supporting Rebel Duet. I hope you enjoyed this devlog, and I'll see you again in the next one.

v0.14 of Rebel Duet is now live!

This update includes the flashback of the MC's past, as well as a continuation of the overall story. As it covers some heavy themes, I'll be listening closely to feedback and may make minor adjustments if necessary.

A significant amount of new content has also been added to other areas of the game: a new Act 1 scene, a new map event, three new training positions, and a second Lucius sharing scene.

In the next update, we'll be seeing the conclusion of Act 3 and the start of Act 4, along with a larger expansion to the training system.

I hope you enjoy playing v0.14. Please feel welcome to share your thoughts and suggestions, as well as reporting any bugs you might encounter.

Patch Notes (v0.14)

• 456 new images.

• 15000 new words of dialogue.

• 3 new training positions.

• 1 new Steam achievement.

• Added a new scene to early Act 1 involving a thief.

• Added a new Valerie map event.

• Expanded the Lucius sharing scene with a new scene continuing directly after.

• Added several new renders to the Scissoring training command.

• Changed the Nipple Sucking (Receive) command to give service XP instead of pleasure XP.

• Minor bug fixes.

Update (Feb 7): Taking a couple extra days to give the script more editing passes, and to make sure the translations are working properly. The target is a Feb 12 (Thur) release. Thanks for your patience. _

v0.14 is nearly complete! In terms of a release date, you can expect to play it sometime between February 1 and February 8.

This update took a little longer than expected, but I wanted to take my time with the writing as this is one of the most important sections of the story.

A new map event has been added in v0.14. If you're into the harem aspect, this scene should be a lot of fun, as you'll get to see Valerie and Rena playfully fighting over the MC.

This scene also provides some build-up for future threesome content between them and the MC, which will be available from Act 4. Of course, you'll also get opportunities for group fun with the lovely elven ladies!

On the other hand, for players on the sharing route, the Lucius scene has been expanded with a shorter second scene. This allows for some new positions and situations based on your choices. In the next update, I also plan to add an exclusive map event for the sharing route.

In terms of the training system, several new positions have been added in v0.14. There's also a few small improvements, like a marker indicating which positions haven't been experienced yet.

The new story content in v0.14 is quite dark and melancholic overall, though the last couple of scenes take a much more uplifting turn. The relationship between the MC and Valerie is also developed a lot further, as Valerie supports them in their moment of vulnerability.

Thank you for reading this devlog and for supporting Rebel Duet. I hope you'll enjoy playing the update when it launches in 1-2 weeks!

Happy New Year! I was hoping to post this devlog last week, but the holidays made the timing more difficult than expected. Thanks to everyone for your patience.

v0.14 is still planned for release by the end of this month. There will be one more dev update posted later this month as the release approaches.

Since most of the development in December was spent finishing up the flashback, there isn't too much that can be revealed right now without spoiling the events. Throughout the rest of January, I'll be finishing the post-flashback scenes and new training positions, along with various improvements.

A number of plot details - such as the MC's connection to Death - are partially revealed in this update. Most players will be able to piece some of the details together, but it will also be fully explained in future story arcs. And, while the story has mostly been focused on the MC as Valerie's partner, this update will give them a clear goal of their own.

Depending on time available, I'd like to also add a couple of short map events. One involving two of the heroines (for harem-focused players), and one for the sharing route. This way, there's some more fun content for players to enjoy this update, as well as build-up for future map events.

I'll have more to share in the next dev update as it won't be so spoiler-heavy. Thank you for reading, and see you again later this month!

v0.14 is now over halfway complete, with a release planned for January. There's a small chance it could be ready before the end of this year, but I'll keep everyone up-to-date in the next dev update.

This will be a significant update for the story. There's a lot of character development and heavy themes to explore, so I've been putting extra time into the script and dialogue to make sure it really lands for players.

In particular, the flashback section aims to portray the protagonist as a morally complex individual. There's a number of situations here where there isn't really a 'right' or 'wrong', and I want to leave it up to the player to decide how they feel about these topics.

I've also taken a few days to expand on the fantasy lore and worldbuilding. For example, elven culture, geography, and in-game history that stretches across ~800 years. This won't appear much in the game just yet, but it lays the foundation for Act 4 onwards, where the game's setting (Uldreza) will be developed a lot further.

For players who enjoy these details, I'll be adding optional books and notes in the future that can be read through the in-game glossary. I'd also like to add scenes (possibly to the map system) with side characters and townspeople discussing these topics.

I hope you look forward to v0.14. Thanks to everyone for playing Rebel Duet. I'll be back next month with a new progress update!

Development for v0.14 is progressing nicely. Though it's still a bit too early to announce a release date, it should follow the usual schedule, with a release planned between December to January.

v0.13 of Rebel Duet is now live!

This update significantly advances the plot, setting the stage for the Act 3 climax. It adds four major sex scenes (two male, two female), with extra content for players who have chosen the sharing route.

Development took a little longer than expected, but the update should be much better as a result.

I hope you enjoy it! Please feel welcome to share your thoughts and suggestions, as well as reporting any bugs you might encounter.

Patch Notes (v0.13)

• 501 new images.

• 18000 new words of dialogue.

• 3 new Steam achievements.

• Extra choice added to the Lucius scene for a virgin Valerie.

• Added extra lines for a dominant MC where they reject Valerie being called their master.

• Added an extra line to the relationship route branch to make it clearer.

• Dialogue improvements to the Act 2 prostitute scene for a virgin MC.

• Minor bug fixes.

• (v0.13b) Fixed a bug that caused the outdoors sharing scene to incorrectly display the male MC instead of the female MC.

v0.13 is about 75% complete, and will be releasing between early-to-mid September!

During your date with Valerie, you'll experience an amusing situation as Valerie mistakes a portly man for an ogre. There's a lot she still doesn't understand about this world... and she is, after all, quite the troublemaker.

This update also utilizes the narrator's voice (third-person) more often, particularly during Rena's fight scene. I've had a lot of fun writing these parts, since they allow me to expand on the lore and fight mechanics in real-time.

Since these parts take more time to write, I'll continue using the narrator voice in moderation going forward.

With the release of v0.13, Act 3 will become the longest story arc so far. After this, there will be two more updates before the arc wraps up, so I'm expecting it will be the largest overall of the 8 planned acts. Much of the character development and emotional payoff will happen here.

I hope you enjoy playing v0.13 in just a few weeks! Thank you for reading this dev update, and for supporting Rebel Duet.

v0.13 is now halfway complete! I plan to release it by the end of August, though there's a chance it could fall into early September depending on how smoothly the writing process continues.

During your date with Valerie, you'll be able to deepen your bond with your succubus partner. While most of Act 3 has focused on the other heroines, this date brings the spotlight back to Valerie.

In terms of sexual content, this date will also provide the opportunity for something a little different— namely, getting frisky with Valerie in a public place. Will you give in to the thrill of potentially being seen or heard?

During your time together, you and Valerie will also run into a familiar face: Mira.

While the date is filled with light-hearted fun, the rest of v0.13 takes a considerably more serious tone. The protagonist, Valerie, and Rena are forced to depart their home and confront a familiar threat.

To survive, the three of you must fight together and devise a strategy to take down an enemy far more powerful than any you've encountered so far.

Towards the end of v0.13, you and Valerie sit down for a heart-to-heart conversation. This is one of the few times Valerie truly opens up and shares her raw, unfiltered emotions.

What happened in Valerie's past? Has her thirst for revenge faded, or has it merely taken a backseat for the time being? These questions—and more— will be answered in v0.13.

Thank you for reading this devlog, and for supporting Rebel Duet! I'll have one more devlog to share before the v0.13 release. I hope you'll enjoy playing it soon.

Development for the next major update (v0.13) is underway and proceeding smoothly! I expect it will be released faster than usual— potentially before the end of the summer— but I'll be sure to keep everyone updated as development progresses.

At the start of v0.13, you'll have the opportunity to go on a date with Valerie before Rena's attack begins. This will include both romantic and sexual content, and will serve as the last big slice-of-life section of Act 3.

Naturally, this update includes a lot of action, as Rena begins her assault on the vampire nests. However, it won't be an easy task for her, as the nests are guarded by a powerful foe.

This assault kicks off the main phase of Act 3, pushing the story into heavier and more emotionally charged territory. Valerie receives important character development, which directly connects to the protagonist's personal arc in the following update.

Towards the end of v0.13, players will have the option for another sex scene with Valerie. Unlike previous scenes, this one is designed to be different in tone, as it will be more romantic than sexual. Although Rena's and Annestria's scenes have already featured romantic dialogue, I felt it was the right time for players to develop a stronger emotional bond with Valerie as well.

Thank you for reading this progress update, and for supporting Rebel Duet! I'll have more details to share in the next dev update.

v0.12 of Rebel Duet is now live!

This version advances the story by three full in-game days. It includes six new adult scenes (three male, three female): Annestria, Rena, and a unique scene for the sharing route.

This update took a bit longer than expected, but I hope the quality of content will make up for it. Apologies for the wait and thanks to everyone for your patience.

I hope you enjoy playing it! Please feel welcome to share your thoughts and suggestions, as well as any bugs you might encounter.
