Small Little heads up!

Hey guys! Funny story... 😶

I'm glad my work load is getting much more organised and I think I will be able to do weekly progress updates, but not this month.

I've been going through some new diagnoses and medication and it's been a bit hard to work since that, not to mention that this month is gonna be vacation time and I'm gonna be spending time with my family. I might still write here and there when I can but I'm not getting my hopes up until things are back to normal.

Once again, thank you for the patience (seriously I appreciate it a lot), and I will see you guys in September!!

Oh and happy summer holidays! 🏖️☀️ If you guys celebrate that!

Progress 04/08/23

Okay hi! So I think the deadlines really work cause I managed to reach my goal in one week!! Which COULD mean that I can manage some weekly progress updates that are actually substantial. 🫡

This specific scene that I've been writing was... a very different type of scene. It was triggering, so I will advise again to anyone who is planning to read this to really consider the trigger warnings. Since it's also a scene that might happen depending on your choices, I will put warnings at the beginning of each chapter, indicating what will happen and might happen on that chapter.

Either way, that scene is over and we have finished another small path. Just a few more to go to complete this whole Demon path thing! 😈 It's not pretty at all, but I feel like my writing as improved throughout the chapter.

04/08/23 - 170k words (43% of Chapter Two - Demon Path)

Progress 29/07/23

Okay! So I found a way to keep myself more productive! DEADLINES 🥳🥳🥳

I know, crazy to believe I managed to go this far without any proper headlines, but you could tell by my progress updates that there's days where I... write very little. Which isn't what I want. So I gave myself deadlines (at least in this final stretch, more of this improvement will be noticeable in the next progress updates), and it worked!

Anyways, just a bit more words but we're almost halfway through one of the paths! 🥰 And finally meeting Astro/a too!!!

Thank you all for continuing to be patient, I truly don't know how to express my gratitude other than continuing to work on this.

Am I sharing more code? Yes. Yes I am.

Now that we're approaching some romance scenes, I wanted to make the MC more versatile when it comes to them. Obviously, romance is optional, and it can be as physical or not physical as you want. And if you wish to form simply platonic relationships, these scenes will NOT LOCK YOU in any romance path.

Anyways. To explain. There are three main ways to "flirt", you can have a shy MC, a sweet MC or a teasing MC. Each one of them, has two different approaches, that change depending on your stats. I'll leave the rest below, if you want to read more. ⬇️

If you chose shy options when it comes to flirting, and your MC is happier or more well-spoken, they will fall under the blabbermouth shy MC. Which means they will talk themselves into digging a hole for themselves. Completely adorable panicked chattering.

However if your MC is not either of those things, they will fall into the awkward shy MC. More quiet clumsy stares, and one-word red-faced sentences.

If you chose a sweet option in flirting scenes, and your MC has a high cheery stat, they will become what's called, the sunshine sweety MC. Very positive and overall "too much love" attitude. Others will think MC is too loveable (which may or may not be true to how you play MC).

Though if your MC is not very cheery, they will fall into a more gentle sweet MC. Soft affirmations and kind compliments is their go-to, and it's reassuring, almost warm, to be around them.

Now, if you chose the teasing options related to flirting scenes, and your MC is both sort of mean and talks a lot, expect kind of asshole flirting. Lots of innuendos and playful ribbing that can be interpreted as a way to deal with their feelings.

If your MC is not those things, the teasing will be more mysterious, and sort of addictive. Think more of subtle seduction, that's the type.

Anyways, hope I explained that well. These will change how your MC behaves in flirting or affectionate scenes, not necessarily platonic, as that will most likely rely on the normal stats. Super excited for you all to see more romance scenes, as that is my favourite thing ever! 🥰😀
