A Prince's Tale v0.3.5a - Portraits hotfix
🕑 Added 2025-08-18 16:50:39 +0000 UTC
Hi everyone,
Here is a quick update that turns the new art style in one of the options to choose from when selecting your preferred portrait style instead of making it a forced new standard.
I will re-evaluate how to move forward with the art, probably after a poll I will make for you soon. In the mean while, there was no reason not to just enable to option to switch to the old styles if you want and - in hindsight - probably should've been the way I introduced the new portraits in the first place.
Hope you enjoy the game and thank you for the support!

Changelog
v0.3.5a
New portrait art is now one of the theme options instead of being a forced default. The art style can be changed through the settings menu or in the changelog itself that pops up after loading a save.
v0.3.5
Custom new portrait art for a large amount of characters!
In this update, a large batch of characters have already been given the new portraits, namely: Andreas, Caspar, Devota, Eve, Hyssop, Kathryn, Leopold, Morgana, Orson, Rosa, Sybille, and Wymerus.
New 'starred' system has been introduced to the game. Whenever you see a decision with a golden star, it signifies this is usually content you haven't visited yet. I'm still working out how well it works, let me know if you have any feedback.
A continuation of the Princess storyline where you now go to a new secret council meeting and discuss your progress. If you do well in your lessons, you will be awarded a fun first rewards. More to follow soon!
A new spicy scene with Orson that can be accessed before taking a bath in the morning after going the submissive route with him in his dates.
A new Devota confession scene describing everything you saw after you spy on Caspar and Wymerus in the courtyard.
Added new artworks for Morgana's different potions.
Small parts of the beginning of the game have been rewritten to better reflect how the story has developed
The guard giving you a compliment before the first council meeting has been replaced with Rosa giving the compliment instead. This gives a nice little introduction of her character.
Mentions of the predecessor of Morgana have been removed as this didn't really add much to the story.
Andreas now explicitly hands over the 'no marriageable princess' problem to Morgana at the first council meeting.
Devota gets a small introduction at the meeting.
Kathryn's intro has been changed to be less edgy and a bit shorter as well.
The choice for which ointment ingredient has been changed to be less on-the-nose about which one is feminine and masculine.
Interactions where you help Rosa in the kitchen have been rewritten to better fit her character now.
Changed the width of the central game view depending on your screen resolution. This change might mess with the interactive map slightly, be sure to refresh the page whenever you change your window size! (Working on a fix for this)

Getting itchy for the next update lol. Love where this is going and now on the Princess side :)

The new portrait for the prince is ugly. It makes him look dumb. Keeping the art style for the prince the same when everyone else's art style is different doesn't fix the problem. It just makes it more jarring.
