Just did this word count for the game (including the unfinished drafts of future chapters). I stopped counting for awhile after we hit 300k and I'm shocked to find now we're almost at 400?? This i...
2024-06-25 11:19:57 +0000 UTC View PostI spent a lot of this week absorbing and working on feedback from my one alpha tester (to whom I'm eternally grateful). I've gotten some really excellent notes on things to target for the beta, including:
General tweaking of initial RO descriptions: I hadn't noticed that I use a lot...

2024-06-18 21:31:51 +0000 UTC View PostMy takeaways are very unrelated this week, because I spent a lot of time jumping around and filling things in for the eventual beta, plus working on Chapter 12's first draft. So I've put them in bullet points below ~ (There are some very mild spoilers for later chapters, but nothing I'd c...
2024-06-16 23:52:45 +0000 UTC View PostThere is smut for 1.5 ROs. I forgot I'd written it until last night when I was doing final edits 😂
For the other 1.5, you get emotions and angst. Yay!
Don't worry - every chance to break up is clearly marked, so you won't be surprised. My characters love ...

2024-06-14 17:58:33 +0000 UTC View PostI just sent the alpha-before-the-alpha of the next chapter to my friend for review! I think this month's update might come a little early :D There's a few things I want to run by another writer prior to publishing them in the alphas here, to make sure you get the best experience. I've been strugg...
2024-06-12 22:04:51 +0000 UTC View PostI've been burning the midnight oil this weekend filling in some choice options - to the tune of a few thousand more words :) I forgot to actually count them this time lol but it's a lot.
It feels like a treat to delve back into chapter 10. It's one of my favorites because I get to wr...
2024-06-10 01:48:31 +0000 UTC View PostDoes the struggle of continuing to consolidate game files outweigh the stress of worrying my code editor (VS Code, not an actual person) has, once again, forgotten to indent something and broken my game?
Tbh probably.
I'm really pleased with having finally tacked chapter 9 in a real way. Like, out-in-the-world instead of a draft on my hard drive that could still change drastically. I'm also semi exhausted lol.
It's playable at the same link as before (which you can find here, and also in the pinned post). As previously mentioned, this one's a small update to catch us up to ...

This time around I bounced around between chapters filling things in and making some changes, and had another look at chapters 10-11 to decide whether I like the way...

A ton of rearranging orders of things
Adding in new choices to replace things I cut out + tweaking some existing moments
