Breach: Chicago War Zone - WIP Update 18 - 26th of August 2023
... This one's actually been brewing for 6 months, so... 1 Million Words folks!
Update 21 has been released! Last public upload was pretty much a year ago so, I'm very sorry for the long silence, a lot of the updates have been mostly in the private testing phase on Patreon, but I am here with a bunch of fixes and hangout updates.
But most importantly... We've passed the 1 Million Words mark... My fingers are tired. ❤
COMPLETED: Chapter 3 Part 1 of The ARC branch (100%) (PT only)
W.I.P.: AA Hangout Part 1 (86%)
W.I.P.: AA Store system (85%)
W.I.P.: FBI Hangout Part 1 (46%)
W.I.P.: FBI Store system (65%)
W.I.P.: Stat screen upgrade (40%)
Word Count: 1,007,622 words including codes (Last update was 971,142)
I'll be completely honest, when I started Breach 2 I knew it was going to surpass 1 million words. I just didn't think it would take this long. Through numerous challenges, both in writing and in real life. Through numerous ups and downs, I'm absolutely surprised and grateful to know that there are people out there who still support me. I've had many thoughts, numerous times, to give up and move on to other things in life, but I didn't want to disappoint, so I kept writing.
I bring to you, the 1 million milestone update. It's really not much, but it is one step closer to completion. This update has been in the works for the past 6 months mostly due to the weapons rework and also story changes for the crew members that I apparently couldn't keep track of without a giant excel spreadsheet. This update finalizes the Archangel's Gamma Crew hangouts, which is Kaz and Carly's hangout as well as Anna and Charlie's hangout.
As before, they share the same storyline so they will both share the same hangout. If you choose to go out with one, you cannot go out with the other. Kaz shares it with Carly, and Anna shares it with Charlie. Keep that in mind. Oh, and there's 7 new guns to play with. Have fun, Ian.
This update does not include the new Chapters. Chapter 3 will still be Patreon exclusive until Breach 2 finishes and I can send the demo to the public testing, and to CoG for the full release.
I really cannot reiterate how grateful I am to have an amazing array of readers and supporters who are still here after numerous hiccups and fuck ups. Thank you all, so very much.
Much, much love.
- Max

My Breachverse FBI!MC :')
You'd never guess that I finished the eye first.
Her name is Asteria Rose. Rose is her preferred name.
Her real name pre-Archangels is Roselia Rossi.
She, unfortunately, was an undercover cop, turned Archangel informant for the FBI, and stuck with it.
Perceptive, deceptively strong, and relies on her silver-tongue.
Believes heavily in words before violence.
Has a crush on her very hot FBI partner/boss.
To celebrate this amazing game, here is a Breach-themed fanwork prompt for every day of October!
On each day of the month, you can write, draw, paint, sing, do anything that the day’s prompt inspires! Join in one day, some days, or every day — we want to see what Breach inspires you to create!
Tag your works with #breachtober so we can see all of our creations at the end of the month!
So... um... update 18 coming up. It's in private testing now, will be coming to the public link around the 20th... it is currently about 38k worth of words though the public update might burst that over 40k...
It mainly consist of updates for the FBI Arc, hopefully finishing up Chapter 2 Part 2 of the FBI arc so I can finally move on to the meat and butter of Chapter 3 Part 1 of both routes.
Keep in mind... since we're past the halfway point, public updates might be a bit less frequent as I'm going into full steam focus on just going through the whole outline in private testing after private testing.
There will be a public demo after I finish a chapter or two. So, yeah... Breach 2 is almost into the smooth sailing phase...

Good lord, 62k words worth of update. I honestly don't know what to say, this is the biggest I've ever written in one sitting. For those of you wondering, yes I am doing alright. Just a bit tired is all.
My prediction was that I would've gone over 40k words when I added Collins and Megan's hangout but, ooh boy, I didn't expect to be able to finish the entire chapter, but, yeah, that happened.
This update consists of the newly finished Day 1 and Day 2 of the FBI route, completely finishing off Chapter 2 Part 2 of the FBI route. Along with a few fixes, this is mainly a story update focusing on the FBI arc. There is no new Archangel route content. There is also some new hangouts for the FBI with Megan House and Rita Collins being available for hangouts. I can now finally move on to Chapter 3 Part 1 for both the FBI and Archangel arcs in update 19.
As part of this announcements, I would like to also announce that this is as far as where the public demo will go for now. From this point on, I will be focusing on private testing on patreon only. But fear not, I will update the public demo periodically with all of the hangouts and all of the available side missions.
I don't know what to go is with the Hosted Games requirements, but I may also update the public demo with the full beta version of the game going all the way to the last chapter at the end of development.
With that all said… I can officially say, it is now smooth sailing from here.
Thank you all so much for the love and support you've given throughout the entire journey. It's been a long 4 years but, we're getting closer to the end now.
Much love! ❤
