This week's progress

Uuuugggghhhh

It's hard to write poems.

I am not a poet! But I tried very hard this week! 😂 I wrote 6... They aren't long but I might torture myself further and write a few more so you can have variations 🥲

Anyway, I wrote a big chunk of one of the missing branches in Chapter 6.

There are a few cool things in it. You get to have a dance with someone you probably didn't expect to dance with. You also get some juicy morsels of lore about your favorite RO which your MC will not be able to learn anywhere else on-screen.

There is a LOT of variation in these scenes based on your MC background, which is always really fun to write ❤️

This bit is already playable in the early-access demo on Patreon, which you can get here in TIER 2:

New update to patreon demo 04/04/25

This week has been very mentally slow for me. I didn't feel very good about my writing, so progress has been a lot more sluggish than usual. Still, I think I managed to get back on track and I got some (hopefully) really good ideas for later 👀

What's new:

Around 13 000 words added to the patreon early access

There are some extra sleepy scenes on some of the routes, and you can have some... hm... quite interesting conversations with some of the ROs

Zaia appears on their route, very whimsically, out of the realm of dreams lol

The group will have a conversation about everything that went wrong last time

Time to train! These scenes are different than the first training scenes in the book. Hopefully they will be enjoyable 👀

The patreon early access demo is available from TIER 2 here:

New update to patreon demo 18/04/24

This week has been going quite well. I'm still trying to keep myself to the new schedule. Now it's only 85% failing! Amazing!

Anyway, I've added lots of different scenes all over the place. There are a few paths in the new scenes that aren't done yet. Tabiry's, the poly route, and the friendship route is going to come next week, but the others should be playable.

There may be some inconsistencies and weird paragraphs where I forgot or haven't added flavor text yet.

What's new:

16 000 words added to the patreon early access demo

I expanded some of the scenes where Narmer comes up from the dungeon.

Some scenes are still missing when you go with Tabiry to collect the food in Memphis or if you stay behind with Ahmose and the others, I will add those next week.

You'll have a stop on the road at a not-creepy house. There is nothing wrong there, trust me.

You can have a one-on-one conversation with your RO, provided that your RO is Narmer, Qenna, Zaia, or Ahmose. Tabiry and the other routes will just end abruptly but they are coming next week.

Qenna's talk has LOTS of variations in it. LOTS. Please check out if it flows correctly if you happen to read it :)

That's it for this week! Happy Easter to everyone who celebrates it🌸

There was again a patreon update this week, 21 000 new words, with lots of scenes missing that I was going to finish yesterday but I didn’t have the chance because I fell down the stairs and sprained my elbow and shoulder and I had to ice it all night 😅

Anyway, the update is available in the link below from TIER 2, and I also have news for the public!

The public update with chapter 5 will be coming out on the 6th of June 🥳
