Extended Writing Update

The chapter one changes are officially done - they come out to a little over 7,000 of new content! I think it works so much better. I made some more action-driven choices for MC, from death magic stuff to different ways to argue with the council or hide something important from them, or in a few places ingratiate MC with them. I haven't done anything with the stats page yet, but I'll eventually be adding a "Council" relationship stat that will affect their attitude towards MC, much like the one we had for Adaan in the first game.

I'm also working on the chapter three additions, and those will be my entire focus from this point until the demo releases. I've got a few things added but I need to flesh out the skeleton, so to speak. Lots of writing the content of MC's choices, though I do have most of the connecting pieces written out, which is great. I continue to be so psyched that we've gotten the band back together and I can play with the dynamics and how they've changed a bit. It's killing me not to spoil things and shout "This is why this character is doing this! And that one's doing that because of this other thing!" Like, I have all these reasons that will make certain things make sense in later chapters and aaargh. I wish I could just spit out 50,000 words in a day! 😂 But I'll be patient. It gives me motivation to keep writing, at least, and that's always a good thing.

The next bonus story will be out Tuesday! It's all ready aside from a quick proof reading/minor editing pass. In the meantime, here's this week's preview ~

She's posturing, I think. There's no crack in her facade, but the facts themselves don't line up. I'm too essential to this situation for them to strip me of my rank; I'm the only damn person in this city who can use death magic.
