The first update after a demo release is always funny because I feel like I'm standing here like well, technically you're playing the update 😂 It was a good one to write - it took a ton of rewrites but the start of a story is like that, for me. It takes a lot to iron things out until they "fee...
2024-12-29 23:33:25 +0000 UTC View PostI've finally got the import working correctly (I hope, I pray) and it's ready to go! It's so much longer than I realized 😳 It's ~17.5k words without the import, and 35k with it. (For reference, Book 1's first chapter was ~13.5k words).
I'm excited to s...

2024-12-23 16:05:33 +0000 UTC View PostWhew, I have been working this week. And tbh? Loving it. The demo is almost ready - I don't have a release date yet but I'll post one in the next couple days. It's been a mad dash as usual but mostly because I've rewritten like half of it. This week alone I banged out 9k words which...

Or at least, that's how I'm feeling about this one. I'm going through and seeing the little editing notes I've left for myself later. It's little things along the lines of "add in a nod to MC's ...
2024-12-18 16:20:35 +0000 UTC View PostThis was an incredibly successful week for writing. I don't know if it's me throwing myself into it with more gusto to distract myself from everything or if I just had a really oddly timed surge of inspiration, but every worry I had about chapter one is just gone. And there were a lot of them. No...

2024-12-08 23:14:59 +0000 UTC View PostI spent today at the hospital dealing with an allergic reaction to meds (I'm okay now and resting), so I hope you'll bear with me, this update's going to be short. The past week was mostly a mad dash to get Apotheosis demo-ready (I always seem to find 10 things in every demo the day before it rel...
2024-12-01 23:49:45 +0000 UTC View PostThe COGDemos site has had some issues lately due to the recent update, so I've posted the L:CotS Beta on DashingDon as a backup in case anyone has trouble playing it at the existing link. (The only difference between demos is that DashingDon doesn't support the code to customize MC's tattoos,...

2024-11-29 13:09:54 +0000 UTC View PostIt's so much longer than I planned it to be. We're clocking in at about 23,000 words, and I hope you enjoy them!

2024-11-26 22:16:21 +0000 UTC View PostI have been absolutely swamped the past week between Leas, prepping Apotheosis for its demo release, and a few other things I can't talk about yet but will be announcing in the future ~
I'm going to say I'll release Apotheosis on November 29th, just to give myself time to polish what needs ...
2024-11-24 21:45:20 +0000 UTC View PostYou'd have the ability to rewind the game to the following spots:
The beginning of chapter 6 (the chapter in the wilds where you meet the Guide and the Guardian)
The middle of chapter 7 (just before the date)
The beginning of chapters 9, 11, and 12

2024-11-18 13:23:58 +0000 UTC View PostAaand we're off to the races! I had the absolutely magical first moment where I felt out of my weird limbo state, and the story was just plain flowing. I worked on both Leas and Apotheosis and in both cases I finally felt like I knew what I was doing, where I was going, and had a so...
2024-11-17 21:52:48 +0000 UTC View PostI've been staring at this one section for weeks and avoiding it because I just can't seem to get words on paper there, no matter what I do. I made a few changes to how I was writing it - both in terms of coding structure and story content - and bam, 650 words in an hour.

I mean, tbf I designed it that way 😂 I got a good amount written and also restructured chapter one again - shocking no one, really, not even myself at this point. I'm trying out something I've never done before, which is taking the pacing slow (by my standards, any...
