Update #4

I'm a day late, but--

Welcome to the next update! I'm still working on the Prologue as we speak, but as you might have known, I've created another IF to help mitigate my darker tendencies! Welcome To The Family, please check it out here!

So a few things, I'll make update posts for Welcome To The Family as well, BUT--because I'll be working interchangeably between the two, making update posts for them weekly will be a bit hard. So, what I'll do instead is make bi-weekly update posts. Every two weeks, I'll post a progress for only one of the IFs, and the next time when I post another one, it'll be for the other IF. Just saying 'Hey, I'm still on the Prologue' will be redundant, so I thought it would be better to just say it later on than earlier.

For this case, however, I'll post both progress. For TWYAM, I'm still in the middle of writing the Prologue. I'm currently writing out the second branch/option that you would choose, but because of my classes and getting sick (which REALLY threw a wrench in my plans), I was only able to do a little bit of writing. Otherwise, it's slow progress, but it's progress!

As for WTTF, I'm in the middle of mapping out the Prologue and working out the plot. While I did have an idea of what I could do for the plot, I want to make sure that when I work on it, that I can finalize those plans immediately and get to work on implementing it into the story to not only make sense, to make it flow well, and to keep it as intriguing as I can for you guys to enjoy. There's gonna be a lot of thinking on this one, but hopefully, I'll make it through!

Otherwise, thanks for sticking with me! I'll see you guys later!

Update #3

Hello everyone, welcome back to another weekly update!

The Prologue is trucking along...slowly. I'll have to apologize for that, I've hit a small rut in my writing, and my assignments has piled up, but I'm slowly trucking along with it! I CAN say, however, is that the finalized outline for Chapter 1 has been completed! I'll just have to edit it a bit more, make sure it flows well, and tweak a few areas.

??? has now been added to any RO asks! I'll add in a separate profile for them later, so keep your eyes peeled once it comes out! It's going to be very minimal, though-

Did you guys liked the first follower special with Lana? I hope you guys did! Expect more later for the other characters! I did draw the banner of Lana's eyes, so expect more art too!

Otherwise, not much news has passed, but it's always good to get an update, right? And, due to how I'll be having a very special day tomorrow, I will not be posting anything on Sunday on EST time as a small break!

I'll see you guys in a bit! Thanks for reading!

Update #1

Goals for this week:

-Writing/Mapping out the character creation, prologue, and outlining the rest of the story.

-Figuring out how Twine works...again.

-Revealing two, new characters. One of them is an RO!

-Special surprise!

-Answer more asks.

I'm going to strangle Tumblr. I saved this draft twice and both times it never saved it. Stares into the abyss in pain, eats my mango ice-cream in despair.

In any case, I uh, should’ve started with this. Whoops!

Welcome to the update notes! I wanted to post these on Saturday instead of Monday, but unfortunately I was busy with a prior engagement on Saturday to properly write this out.

I'm currently in the middle of out-lining and writing out the character creation. For the prologue, I just need to continue writing it out. Which means, hopefully in a few more weeks or less, I can post the prologue for everyone and start working on Chapter One. I'm still in the midst of outlining my story as I did have a general idea of it, but after adding in more scenes and fleshing it out, I got so inspired and I ended up thinking of more scenes. Suffice to say, this will take a while lmao

Coding is pain. I write the story in a seperate document, and yet the HTML/CSS say: "Hey, you added something wrong and there's 50+ errors."

Me:

Hopefully, I can show you guys a template of what the game will look like soon. I want to make the template first before I implement the story into it!

It's ironic because I like to code, but coding makes me cry.

Next, I can safely say that I can show you guys two more characters that will be important in your journey! One of them is an RO, but the other isn't. Depending on the popularity of the other guy, though...well, we'll see when we get there!

It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that I could have shared the other RO, but I thought because that they contained spoilers that I didn't put them there, but after looking through my notes again...this character doesn't really have spoilers that is aimed towards the story. So like...

Me: Stares into the abyss again.

I'll post the two characters up later after I finish preparing them, but I'm going to make a seperate post that will contain the ROs and characters that are important to the story. I'll link it to the pinned post!

As for the special surprise, I will show you guys a glimpse of the world of Romaen in 'journal entry' forms later down the line. Out of anyone in Romaen, this specific character would be the one to record everything in perfect detail.

To add onto this: These logs are all made by a completely different RO that will be revealed in the future. Their appearance is a spoiler so I'll leave them anonymous, and I'll also hide some areas where there's going to be spoilers. I do eventually want to add these onto the game as a form of Codex, so you'll be able to see a small summary of what the world will contain, but we'll see what happens down the line.

I hope you guys enjoy them!

Thank you guys for being patient with me. I'll continue answering asks in a timely manner, and hopefully, I'm showing you small cracks and glimpses of what my book will contain.

I'll see you guys again in asks soon, and stay safe everyone!
