Room Concept Art: Red (October Goody)

IT'S HEREEEE

I always say this every time there's a new piece, but this is my current favorite room art, lol! There's so many little details here that are just Red. The chessboard where he plots out his moves against Riel for their continuous match where they just send eac...

Commissioned Art #15 - Croelle's Reference Sheet

I still can't believe Chandry got his concept art done before Croelle lmao 🥲

Here he is!!! In all of his menacing glory! I waffle between whether Croelle is more powerfully-built and sort of hulking or if he has a sort of slinky sinisterness to him, and I think the artist (cutetanuki-cha...

#tellmeeverything What part are you most excited to write next?

I think Chapter 10! I’m quite itchy to get on with the main plot, but I think it won’t hit quite the same unless we’re at least somewhat caught up with the interludes or have solidified so...

The Wild Dark - Dark Summer AU (Part 1)

(i know. i'm so sorry. i'm so ashamed of how many stories i'm starting lately and not finishing. i'm still cooking the epistolary fic in the background, and then there's the cyberpunk AU, the recruits story that needs a proper ending... but this idea grabbed hold of me and wouldn't let go until ...

Bug Fixes Uploaded

Hey everyone, that unfortunate bug in the beginning of Chapter 6 (where players incorrectly saw both the outcomes where they were possessed, or if they defeated Jarkyth) has been fixed! It was just a case of a missing <</if>>, so it showed you both outcomes instead of just the one tha...

Riel's Festival Date (Poll)

There are different stages to each companion's festival date, so this is only relevant for one of Riel's activities, but guys. Do I force him out of his comfort zone or let him stay looking suave and cool to MC. Do I go for funny or for more romantic. Do I force him into a petting zoo or not

Name Poll (Parody Play)

Okay folks, it's time. Time to vote on the name of the "Ember Island Players"-style play that MC is about to witness at the Ascendancy Festival. Time to figure out exactly what abomination Chandry has been concocting in the background all this time. Keep in mind that you're voting for maximum cri...

Stat name poll

For a stat bar measuring your overall religiosity and faith, which do you guys prefer? --Keeping in mind that the stat name has to convey the stat's religious nature to new players! I don't like stronger words like 'Devotee' or 'Disciple' because MC could still believe in the gods or One-God whil...

Hi everybody, I just wanted to pop in and give a quick update on how things are looking!

Notes from the Outside (Part 3)

I finally started experimenting with different fonts to indicate different speakers--something I've been wanting to do since starting this epistolary fic--and I had a lot of fun with it, though I hope it's not too confusing! I wish I could say I'm surprised by how Chase's interview turned out, bu...
