A Shriek of Ash and Fire -Update 19- Cult Leader (approx +56k, 1.74 Million words total)

Update 19, Cult Leader (approx 56K, 1.74 million words total)

(Note- It is advisable to start a new story and use the Tester Saves, else you might encounter bugs due to variable changes.)

Hi Freemasons, Legionaries, Yonders, Ghouls and Slaves, here is the link to Update 19, Cult Leader.

Squad 3 finally arrives at the wreck of the Pale Lady. Yonders, legionaries and ghouls find a battle already raging and are picked to head a probing mission into the rotting hulk.

Slaves are dragged from the coil array and thrown into the Pale Lady to provide a meat shield for the accompanying squad.

Observe the fate of the Road Pirates and Zuan.

Fight through the Abyss-infected decks to confront the beating heart of the Pale Lady.

Emerge as a hero, victorious over a greater demon.

Find your position aboard the Grey Torment, which has undergone significant changes. You now walk the fleeting first steps of a living legend. All eyes are on you now.

As a ghoul, ascend to become an Enshrined.

A load of earlier typos were fixed, and I squashed a few bugs.

The threads of fate have now knotted around our MC. A change is coming, and next month, we will take a pivotal role as the slaves finally go on strike.

To all the demon hunters out there, if you find that the Abyss has manifested in typos and bugs, please let me know!

I was going to release this alongside Chapter 2, but I felt bad with the amount of time it's taking to complete, so I'm releasing this earlier than planned.

In this new opening, you will be able to:

Go on a raid.

Go berserk (optional, of course).

Kill!

And finally, be punished by the Jarl.

Arcadie: Cold Lands - Progress Update - August 2024

Arcadie: Cold Lands' demo update will be a bit postponed.

I wanted to publish an update with Cyril's route introduction, but of course, life happened, as it tends to do.

I will be unable to write much of anything until September. But as I said in my last progress update, Cyril's route outline is complete, and while I'm still unsure about a few plot points, writing should go pretty smoothly! (fingers crossed)

Thank you all again for your support! Without you, none of this would be possible.

The demo has finally been released! Check it out here.

Prologue Part One is finally done! Although I have to say, I am not completely satisfied with the game right now, but they are honestly minor edits that will be fixed in the future.

In this part, you can begin to customize yourself, get introduced to the members of ST4RDOM, and meet two of the ROs. Not much drama actually happens; more interesting content will be in the second part.

If there are any bugs, typos, or things that can be fixed in the demo, please let me know! I would appreciate it a lot.

Total word count w/ code: 12.7k words

I hope you like it and if you find any errors please send them my way! It's mostly just reviewed by a bunch of friends, so there is no beta specifically looking for mistakes.

Anyways, hugs and kisses
