Ufff, finally I found some time. Thanks for your all messages. :) I appreciate your support and patience.
So, yeah, there's a story I want to share. I don't like excuses, so I didn't want to tell it before I could come back to you with - even small - content. And I didn't write new posts ab...
2021-09-24 13:43:43 +0000 UTC View PostThe part of the chapter 11, just to let you know that I'm still alive and I won't give this project up. :) The rest of the chapter will be published to the end of the month. ;)
2021-09-24 13:05:15 +0000 UTC View PostI'm doing my best to publish the release, but my August was... well... busy, let's say. It's quite a story to tell, but I think I will share it with you after the release when it won't sound like a poor excuse. Now I owe you my apology, so... I'm sorry. I will publish today or tomorrow the first ...
2021-08-31 09:44:52 +0000 UTC View PostAs most of you (at least, most of you that answered my poll) follow Caroline's path, there's a scene that you can choose to attend. It will be almost impossible to get all the scenes about the lore behind the Parity during one game, so I'd publish some of them.
I really like writing t...
2021-08-16 14:04:35 +0000 UTC View PostJustin's path isn't your favorite, but still, he's an important character in the story. There are some scenes in the previous chapters that showed that there is some supernatural aura around him. In chapter 11, if chapter 10 ended with the encounter with David, you can launch one of the crucial s...

Chapter 11 will be very long or very short. It depends on the previously unlocked paths. I thought that "getting everything together" will take less place, but it turned out that the conversations will dominate the chapter. But well, in chapter 13 or 14 the Caroline/David/Robert's path will have ...
2021-08-06 08:21:27 +0000 UTC View PostThe Martha's path seems to be one of the favorite paths in the game. And, of course, there will be an ending to a steady relationship (just like the steady relationship with Olivier), and even it would be that way possible if Pauline changed back into a boy. But it wouldn't be the easiest part. I...
2021-07-30 08:49:05 +0000 UTC View PostI was determined to finish chapter 10 quickly. It was difficult content to write, and a break didn't really help. Probably I didn't put some details well, maybe I will try to catch them up in further chapters.
Because chapter 10 was mostly about Pauline. It shows how she reacts and ho...
2021-07-29 17:33:39 +0000 UTC View PostChapters 0-10.
I started to place the tips in the previous chapters. As it's hard to predict which passages I will use to resolve the confrontations, I would add the tips after that. So, they wouldn't be really helpful for the current game, but it would be easier to follow the track when yo...
2021-07-29 09:56:01 +0000 UTC View PostI started to learn Twine and write The Parity exactly one year ago :) It took me around two months to code the mechanics and to plan the whole story. Now, with the nearly completed chapter 10 we are 234k words after that.
I have to say that The Parity is one of the few things in my li...
2021-07-27 12:10:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe most common objection to The Parity is that it's hard to follow the paths without the walkthrough. The switches of the plot show up rarely and only then you could see the points you got. I personally like it and it's easy to code for me. And I think it's a good way to build the immersion.&nbs...
2021-07-04 12:10:48 +0000 UTC View PostI have to announce that the break will be shorter than I thought, and you'll get chapter 10 in July, not in August. It's incredible how I feel now after the big stress connected to the planning the wedding during the pandemic. I'm full of energy and creativity now. :) Thanks for your all wishes, ...

I want to share one thought with you that came to my mind yesterday when I was traveling the sub-urban bus. Generally, I used to spend a lot of time on the bus on my way to work. During those years I've read hundreds of books and I wrote hundreds of pages. The large parts of my published works ac...
2021-06-13 10:52:46 +0000 UTC View PostThe popularity of Martha's path keeps surprising me. Probably most of the positive comments focus on Martha (and Olivier, but more on Martha). This is a character who has a growing influence on the story.
Martha fulfilled a dream that most of us share. She became a beautiful girl and ...
2021-06-12 07:29:16 +0000 UTC View Post
It turned out that chapter 10 will be the longest chapter in the story (102 passages). As usual, the most important choices are between Olivier and Martha paths. Martha's path will be connected with the political events, and will be one of the switches for the plot.
2021-06-09 10:31:05 +0000 UTC View PostWe've achieved $400 goal, and it's a really interesting coincidence, as there will be no new content for a while. So I will add some customization options (transformations by the Parity, more clothes etc.), chosen by you. And I'll write the detailed walkhtrough to Robert's path, when I catch some...
2021-06-07 07:37:19 +0000 UTC View PostThis walkthrough concentrates on the choices that are mentioned in the summaries. It doesn't include all the choices you can make during the game. There will be separate guides to different paths (related to some characters from the main cast) in the future.

2021-06-07 07:27:57 +0000 UTC View PostI have to say I'm really surprised how you all reacted to my announcement that there will be a break from updating The Parity. I expected that (temporarily, I hoped) many of you cancel your subscriptions, and I was totally cool about that. I believe that there is some kind of agreement between us...
2021-06-03 13:50:54 +0000 UTC View PostSo, we start the discussion about the lore and further plot. As I mentioned before, I already know that the game will be longer than 20 chapters. I don't know yet if 22 or 24 chapters will be enough. Still, my plans are to finish the game (with most or all endings) in December 2022.

2021-06-02 10:22:05 +0000 UTC View PostThere was a bug with clothes in chapters 3, 4 and 5, so there is a patch.
2021-06-01 16:26:13 +0000 UTC View PostLuckilly, May has 31 days. :v I'm sorry for the delay. :) Chapters 0-9.
2021-05-31 11:36:49 +0000 UTC View PostAs you can see, there is no May update yet, however, I'm working on it. Unfortunately, my schedule was disturbed by many events in my personal life. I planned to write most of June's update in May and be ready to publish it before my wedding. I can't do it.
So, that's the new plan: the May ...
2021-05-28 06:42:58 +0000 UTC View PostUnfortunately, I need a couple of days more to release the next chapter. I was quite busy in May, as everything frozen during the lockdown has rushed suddenly - so I plan my wedding, write a book, renovate my flat and consult my lawyer about the inheritance case... I can handle everything, but so...
2021-05-22 21:05:23 +0000 UTC View PostI bought the Premium Ginger, so hopefully my English will be easier to read. ;) Unfortunately, it wipes out the code. If I can't turn it off, I will write text and then format it. You can compare it to the scene I posted here earlier. :)

Ok, I promise it's the last post about writing and story. :P I'll give you a detailed walkthrough to Robert's path and I'll focus on writing chapter 9. But as writing chapters 7 and 8 caused that The Parity became my main goal, I had many occasions to think about meta-writing. As I keep saying - ...
2021-04-25 11:01:51 +0000 UTC View Post
So, the next chapter ahead of us. :) I'm quite excited, as some detailed scenes came to my mind when I was thinking about this story a year ago, and finally, I can write them. :) Finally, there is a space for Dorothy's path, which, I suppose, isn't quite popular among you, and that's fine - it's ...
2021-04-24 13:19:22 +0000 UTC View PostI've planned to talk about Martha, but as Robert won the poll, I want to talk about him. I have to admit, I don't understand his constant popularity. ;) First PMs I got about the game were about him. Still, some people keep asking about his role in the plot and they seem to be surprised that he's...
