v0.4

New Content:

• THE FIRST DUNGEON: The story continues, with this update finishing the first dungeon of the game and closing out chapter I.
• TWO SEX SCENES: It also features two new, fully animated, sex scenes. One with Moran and one with Kasia.
• A NEW DATE: Along with the new sex scene for Moran, her final date for chapter I is also included.
• FIRST BOSSFIGHT: With the end of the first dungeon, this update features the first “bossfight” of the game.

Changed Content:

• CONTROLS: Added a screen to the main menu where you can check the games controls.
• LEAVING THE DUNGEON: Added a new button at the top left when visiting the Veil that allows you to easily exit the Veil at any time.
• CHANGED IMAGES: Changed a few menu images, mainly images for clues and one for the third case.
• Gameplay Changes:
  • Changed the way the little portraits next to the rooms are displayed.
  • Changed way arrows in the shop minigame are dispalyed when asking for help.
  • Slowed down fishing minigame slightly on PC and a lot on Android, making it a bit easier.
  • Increased players life by two points. Meaning that you’ll have more time to replenish your health before you die.
  • Slight changes to the way some buttons appear on screen in the players home.
• FIXES: I did a bunch of small fixes here and there. The only one worth mentioning is that I fixed a possible softlock that could occur when entering the office in the theater after having played the minigame there.

v0.3.3

New Content:

• THE DUNGEON: The dungeon continues with a bunch of new puzzles and areas to explore, also a new gameplay mechanic has been added. This is he biggest addition to the Dungeon yet.
  • A completely new section was added to the dungeon.
  • The first Interrogation.
  • A bunch of new clues.
  • New animations.
• SEX SCENES: A new sex scene with Enna has been added. Repeatable with different dialog the second time you play it.
• BRIGHTNESS: I added a prompt to set your brightness the very first time the game is ever opened.
• RECAP/HELP: Added te recap/help feature when meeting with Moran to enter the Veil. You can use it to recap where you’re at and what you need to do next.
• SOUNDS: I added new sounds and ambiances for the new areas in the dungeon.
• QUIT SCREEN: I added a little custom screen when you quit the game. Nothing major and it definitely needs to be improved, but I wanted to mention it.

Changed Content:

• PROLOG: After last updates sweeping changes to the prolog, this update included a little cleanup to make the new prolog as good as possible. Nothing that warrants a new playthrough I’d say, but I think it’s a welcome improvement. This doesn’t change the story at all.
• CHANGED ENVIRONMENTS:When you open the game you’ll be greeted by a remade magic shop. It was the very first environment I ever built for the game, while I was still developing MIST and it showed. Now it was time to give it a visual makeover.
  • Also a slight change to the study, where the blanket on Enna’s bed is now green.
  • And an additional small change to the fishing spot that’ll only really come into play in future versions.
• SKIN: I also made some small improvements to the girls skin textures, which can be observed in the renders in 0.3.3, but the change isn’t big enough for me to go back and redo past sections.
• INTRO: I changed the introduction of the actress/Girl #3 to be a bit more visually appealing. Some new renders and a new animation.
• DEMON: I also changed the visuals of the Demon, when you encounter her in the Veil she’ll now look very different. A bit more sexy I’d say.
• HANG OUTS: Enna’s hang outs are now animated. But there are still some very slight bugs in there that I’ll need to iron out, nothing gamebreaking though so I’m leaving it for the next update.
• RE-RENDER: There were some grainy images in the prolog that I rerendered. It wasn’t that noticeable before, but with the new gamma adjustement it became very obvious and needed to change.
• ANIMATION: This is also something that’ll mainly come into play in the future but can be observed in this update already. I figured out a method to do the post production on my animations a lot more similar to my still renders. Previously, that was not possible and they looked a bit less appealing because of it. I hope this’ll make them even better in the future.
• GAMEPLAY CHANGES: This time around there are quite a few small gameplay or UI related changes.
  • The brightness slider is now a bit less sensitive.
  • Slight adjustment to clue screen to, hopefully, indicate clues offscreen a bit better.
  • Adjusted input screen to be centered and a little bit prettier.
  • The Veil can now be entered both during the day and during the night. The tutorial was also changed to indicate this new option. But you can only enter the Veil once a day.
  • Reduced amount of affinity needed to unlock a datepoint. Basically reducing the grind to unlock a new date or sex scene.
  • Slight change to scrollbars to be easier to interact with on Android.
  • Changed interaction events in the magic shop to fit the remade shop.

BUGS:

This time around, there are a few known bugs, but nothing that’ll stop you from enjoying the game, I’ll adress them as soon as possible, but I didn’t want to delay the update any further.

• Datepoints: There is a bug that shows you the “Datepoints are full” message, even when they aren’t full. You can just ignore it and keep playing. It happened when I reduced the amount of affinity needed to unlock a datepoint and I haven’t found out where it’s caused yet.
• Hangouts: Just before the uploads I noticed that on some occasions the wrong animation is shown during Enna’s hangouts. Like hanging out with her during the day, but the night animation plays. No gameplay problems, just the visuals.
• Veil Minigame: There is a new minigame in the Veil where, if you leave out one of the possible inspect buttons, you can trigger a scene out of order. Again no gameplay issues, it’s just a bit strange but it’s only about 6-7 lines or so. No big deal, i’ll sort it out next time.
• Portraits: The girls portraits are supposed to be red when a new date is available, but I kinda forgot to maintain that system and it’s not working properly right now. It literally doesn’t matter, but I wanted to mention it.

v0.3.2
It’s time for Covenant of Morn version 0.3.2. A large update with plenty of new content and plenty of changes. You might have noticed one already. Yes, the name of the game has changed. It was brought to my attention how the old name was not the smartest choice and so the game is now called COVENANT OF MORN. Now let’s see what’s new and what has changed. As usual, the actual download links will follow later today.
New Content:
THE DUNGEON: It’s finally time to enter the games first dungeon. It’s still early in development and there isn’t a huge amount of content in the dungeon yet, but that will follow in the next few updates.
DATES: Go on three new dates with Enna and learn more about the person behind the bronze mask.
SEX SCENES: Along with the new dates, Enna has two new sex scenes for you to explore. I’m especially proud of the second one.
INTERACTION VIEW: By pressing a new button in the UI, you can interact with certain objects in your house to get some insight or background information.
NEW HANGOUT: Hang out with Enna in the new and improved backyard and get to know her a bit better.
NEW ANIMATIONS: The dungeon comes with a few new animations, so does the main menu now.
GAMMA: I’ve been in contact with Pytom, the creator of Ren’Py, to finally bring you a real gamma adjustment for the game. With it you can now make sure that the game looks correct no matter where you play or how your light situation is.
NEW TITLE: As you can tell, the games title has changed.
DEMO VERSION: From now on there will also be a free demo version that features only the prolog of the game so people can try it out before deciding to buy.
Changed Content:
PROLOG: The entire prolog has been rewritten and plenty of renders have been remade. See a new opening to the story and a changed Enna.
REMADE LOCATIONS: Along with the new prolog, I remade or improved several environments to be more interesting or visually pleasing.
BRIGHTNESS: I also retouched several backgrounds that were either a little too bright or a little too dark. As well as Enna’s first sex scene.
Notes:
This update was a huge undertaking for me and StrayHero (the games editor). We set out to make the opening more engaging and interesting. To give Enna a new dimension and make her more interesting, all while keeping true to the story and who she still is as a character. The story itself has not changed a whole lot. If you don’t want to start from the beginning, you don’t have to. But I still highly recommend starting over for the best experience. I think it is worth it.
That said, I wish everyone a good time with the update! This marks a new chapter for the game and I’m looking forward to building more content and improving on top of this new base in the future. The game still has a long way to go, but I feel like my vision is slowly but surely coming together.

v0.3
New Content:
The story continues: About thirty minutes of additional gameplay.
The first dungeon: While it’s only a short glimpse, you get to see the first dungeon of the game.
The third character: You’ll only see her briefly, but the third girl of Children of Morn can be spotted in this version.
Three new erotic scenes: Three new sex scenes, all of them focused on Moran this time and all of them repeatable, with different dialogue the second time you play them.
Dates with the snake: Seven date events for Moran are now in the game. Four story scenes and the mentioned three sex scenes.
The second minigame: You can now go fishing with Moran to earn her affection, she goes crazy when it comes to fresh fish.
The city: You can now travel to the first few locations in the city. It’s not used for much at the moment, but the system will be expanded in future versions.
Accessibility: I added a brightness slider to the menu for those that play in well-lit environments. It’s not perfect as Ren’Py isn’t really equipped to do this kind of stuff, but it works.
New Music: Additional music tracks can now be heard in Children of Morn.
New Sounds: A bunch of new soundeffects were added to the game. I recorded most of them on my last vacation.
Changed Content:
Reworked: I’ve reworked the shop minigame to make it easier to understand, the initial tutorial more comprehensive, the clickable areas much more noticeable and to shift the emphasis from memorizing the whole inventory, to listening to the customers clues and selecting the right items on your own.
Gallery Buttons: I’ve made adjustments to the gallery and the journal to have more compact buttons for the girls.
Quality of Life: Whenever you can go on dates with the girls, their little icon next to the quicktravel buttons is now colored red, so you always know when to visit them.
Whenever your lifepoints are about to run out, a small event will warn you and their color will change to red.
The logic in the screen when selecting clues has been changed to be slightly more intuitive. Also maybe the visuals changed? I can’t remember when I did this change, maybe it was in v0.2. I’ll just mention it here.
Slight Edits: Very few and very slight adjustments have been made to the scripts of 0.1 and 0.2. we’re talking two lines if I remember correctly.
Notes:
Version 0.3 took way too long. There are multiple reasons for it and I’ll probably talk about it in the future, but what’s important for me to mention right here is that I apologize for the big delay. I made you wait way too long for new content and will make sure that it won’t happen again. In return, the update is at least quite big. I wish you all a great time with Enna and Moran!

v0.2
New Content:
The story continues: About 30-45 minutes of additional gameplay.
A new character joins the game: Meet the newest character, Moran.
Two new erotic scenes: A repeatable scene with Enna and a scene with the new girl are now in the game.
The first minigame: Run the magic shop and sell all kinds of items in the newest and first minigame.
The first date: A date-event with Enna has been added, the first of many.
The house: Ennas home is now in the game as the first explorable area.
Accessibility: I added options to customize the text, hopefully making it easier to enjoy the game on both the PC and on Smartphones.
New Music: Additional music tracks can now be heard in Children of Morn.
New Sounds: A bunch of new soundeffects, including the moans and giggles of the second voice actress for Children of Morn are now in the game.
Changed Content:
Rerendered: I’ve spent a lot of time relighting and rerendering almost every render of the first update.
Rewritten: While the plot itself didn’t change and probably won’t change, I rewrote the first part to be smoother and more interesting. The player character now plays a more active role in the narrative.
UI Changes: I adjusted the UI to be a bit easier to use and prettier. Like changes to the journal or the save/load screen.
New Textbox: I changed the way the textbox is displayed for a more unique and cinematic look.
A Disclaimer: A new content warning message has been added to the games splashscreen.
Notes:
A lot of work went into version 0.2, a lot more than I had anticipated and planned. Together with the repeated hardware failures I experienced in the last month, working on this update was not the most pleasant experience I ever had. Nonetheless, I’m very happy and satisfied with the end result. I also have to give my thanks to StrayHero, the editor for Children of Morn. Without his help things would be much worse, his feedback really helped me improve this version. So, have fun with Children of Morn v0.2 and let me know in the feedback post what you thought about it. As always this is just one update of many to come and I’ll make sure to improve and polish the game as much as I can.
