Hey everyone!
I'm happy to report that this week was a pretty productive one. I've done some needed edits and changes to the body of Chapter Six, and am now working through the brand-new pair scenes that happen at the end. I've just finished the one where you hang out with Charon and Pyri, ...
2024-03-25 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
As you voted on, I've got the new Chapter Three scene with PC, Hermes, and Charon from Hermes's POV this month. I went with a Persephone who was Hermes's best friend, a little unsure about the Underworld but coming to enjoy her time there. Hermes, as you might imagine, is quit...

Great news for progress this week: not only did I finish the Hades scene and therefore Chapter Four, but I also got all of the date scenes, and therefore Chapter Five, done as well!
I'd gone into them thinking I'd have to change loads because I've had feedback that the g...

Happy Ides Week, to those who celebrate. :)
Good news: this week, I managed to write the new scenes for Hermes, Hekate, and Charon in their entirety, meaning that only the Hades one is left and then Chapter Four will finally be complete, and I can move on to editing the ...

I think I mentioned that this month's bonus content would probably be my sketchy outline for Asphodel's sequel, Blood of the Living. So, here's that! It's missing a lot of details, of course, but I have most of the subplots planned to some degree as well, so I might go into a ...
2024-03-06 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone.
Pretty good progress this week; after putting out the BIP I managed to write the Alekto scene for Chapter Four and the Pyri one, which isn't bad for three days of work! I'm hoping to get most of the way through the remaining scenes this week, because I've got some very importa...
2024-03-04 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
Some of you have been getting what I think is a hosting-side error with the latest BIP (that is, something I think is the fault of Dashingdon the website rather than either something to do with your computers or my code).
I can't really do too much about that, so w...
2024-03-02 12:53:46 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone!
This month's BIP includes the completed Chapter Three, with new scenes, and the almost-completed Chapter Four, only missing the new scenes I'll be writing. Of course, lots of Chapter Five is also ready, but since it was only partial and would depend to some extent on the new...
2024-02-29 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, and happy Leap Day!
Next month's character POV piece will feature Hermes, and since we're doing scenes from the game from alternate POVs, I'll be doing his perspective on his new scene in Chapter Three with Charon and the PC. So the question is, what type of PC?

I have recently discovered that patreon is really awful at actually informing me of who my patrons are and how long they've been patrons. For a while, I was managing to keep track of who was owed custom vignettes manually, but with all the subscribing and dropping that's happe...
2024-02-28 05:22:46 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
First of all, thank you to everyone who sent in words of support after my minor crisis of confidence last week. You all really boosted me and made me feel a lot more settled again.
Anyway. As for forward progress on the edits, I'm happy to say that not only is Chapter Th...
2024-02-26 02:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
I'm back with a new round of POV bonus contents. As ever, Hekate is first in the lineup, and since you all wanted her perspective on a scene from the game, I figured I'd use the new one I'm working on, featuring her, Hades, and an academically-inclined Persephone (she/they thi...

This week has been a trying one. Do you ever have periods where you wonder what you're doing with your life, and whether you're any good at it after all? It's been one of those for me haha. Some pretty negative feedback on my writing has me in a bit of a tizzy, and I won't lie and ...
2024-02-19 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
Another week, another bit of steady FoA editing progress. I managed to get the scene with Hermes and Charon written this week, and the next one with Hades and Hekate outlined as well. As a bonus, I also got around to making the smaller editing pass I needed to on the emergency...
2024-02-12 02:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
Over the last couple months, I've shown you the two new systems I'm working to implement in FoA's second draft. This month, I've got something a little different—this is essentially my working, revised outline of the game.
As you may notice as you give it a look,...

I hope February is treating you well so far! I'm still working on Chapter Three, as you might imagine, but the good news is I finished the first of the pair scenes! I changed up exactly what the pairs were, so this scene was actually with Alekto and Pyri! In it, the PC tries g...
2024-02-05 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHello all!
This month's BIP includes the Prologue, Chapter One, Chapter Two, and the first portion of Chapter Three! I'd have liked to be a little further along by this point, but writing new scenes in addition to making changes and fixes on the old is a time-consuming process (shocki...
2024-01-31 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
As usual, the BIP will drop in an hour. In the meantime, we're due for a new rotation of bonus content, and that means it's Hekate's turn again. So this poll is for what exactly you'd like the subject matter of that to be, now that the Chapter Nine set is finished and no longe...
2024-01-31 01:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
Here we are at the final update of January. The BIP is due out in a couple of days here, and in it will be all of the Prologue, Chapter One, Chapter Two, and part of Chapter Three, basically everything up to the new group scenes I'm working on.
Of course, Chapter T...

It's been kind of a hectic week, but progress on FoA's rewrites continues apace. Suffice it to say that I don't think I'll quite be done with Chapter Three by the end of the month (due to the new scenes I have to write), but I should be done with everything up until those, whi...
2024-01-22 02:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostHey all!
Today we have the last bonus content in the Chapter Nine series. It's Pyri's, and I had a lot of fun with it, because unlike most people, they're not trying all that hard to remain calm and composed about it. :)

It's hard to believe we're already halfway through January. Someone please slow time down, I'm not okay with this. o_o
In FoA news, I have finished the edits on Chapter One and am now working through Chapter Two. In case you don't recall, Chapter Two contains the initial...
2024-01-15 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone.
This week has been very interesting to me, in terms of FoA. It's the first full week I've spent in the rewriting process, and I've learned a lot about how this needs to go and how long it takes to realistically rewrite a scene or chapter.
So. The good news is, I'm genera...
2024-01-08 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHey again, everyone!
This month’s editing-oriented bonus content is going to talk a little bit about the system I’m using to track player choices with respect to romances. It’s something of a combination personality/romance system, because while it certainly has a lot to do with how t...

Happy New Year, again, and I hope you're all doing well. Above is a preview of the cover @gncrezan drew for FoA's publication. I personally love it, and the pottery-style touches while still being in the full...

Personally I'm hoping for some big changes this year, mostly in the form of publication, heh. But before that can happen I've got to get to work rewriting this draft. The good news is, after rewriting the character creator I lost at the end of last month, I am now ...
2024-01-01 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHello, everyone, and welcome to the first BIP of the editing phase!
I've been hard at work on edits this month, but much of the work I've done has been "behind the scenes" so to speak—determining what exactly needs to be done and how I'm going to go about it. This, combined with the loss ...
2023-12-31 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
In light of the fact that everyone but Pyri now has a bonus content scene during chapter nine, I'm going to stick to the pattern and give them one, too. So, what I'd like you all to choose for me is part of the tone of that, by informing me what kind of PC I'm using!
2023-12-31 01:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone.
I am lucky enough that I usually get to write with good news, but unfortunately today I've got some of the bad kind. It's nothing catastrophic (though it certainly feels that way to me right now), but it does mean a significant delay, and that it's unlikely I get the pro...
