Hello Patrons 👋 I hope you're having a lovely last week of February. The first bit of Chapter 9 is complete and I'll start testing today as all successful testers have joined the Discord testing channel.
I'm hopeful that testing will conclude by Thursday so that I can start uploading the game for the different tiers. Going forward, I'm going to be editing the charge price of the Patreo...

Some good news, I've decided that the best place to pause the mini-update will be after the first main reunion scene. There's still a lot of scenes that need to be written, but I've paused the update just before learning about some big news from Redall. This is all happening as soon as the MC arrives in Ishari, so as you can imagine, it's a lot of high-stress situations. Once the second half of...

Hello Patrons! I hope you're all having a lovely weekend.
The past week saw me finish the dialogue scenes on the ship which means that I'll move to the reunion scenes this week. I'm going to push the update to the end of Feb/beginning of March because I want to include more of the reunion but I'll have to see how much I can get done to find a good stopping point before updating the demo.<...

Some serious talk with Anu on the deck. This question will come up again throughout the game because I'd like to think that people might change their minds as to why they're helping Irus.

And with this sneak peek, Anu's scenes are done. Yes, I know. I only finished Oren's the other day and I took...

Have a heart-to-heart with Sir Oren about the war.

I am happy to announce that Oren's scenes are now complete and I'll be moving to Anu's scenes from tomorrow 🎉

Hello Patrons 😊
I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend 💗
This past week, I was able to complete Elora's scenes on the ship. It was really a struggle to get work done on her scenes especially after my IRL job, so I had to switch things around and spend my mornings writing instead. Thankfully, switching around my writing schedule helped a lot with being able to write...

If I could go back and tell my past self to just write a romance IF, I would.

My favourite scenes to write are romance scenes (fluff and smut) and family drama scenes. I don't know why I decided to go with a high-fantasy, political war instead 😔

A little sneak peek from Elora's dialogue scene.

It's important to keep in mind that the heart choices will only be available if you've locked in your romance with Elora - otherwise you get only the first three options.

Happy February Patrons 💖
It's the month of love or if you're like me, it's your birthday month or if neither are your thing, it's always fun when there's a leap year.

Hello Patrons 😊
We're entering the final week of January even though it feels like it was only just New Year's last week.
The past week I worked on the early dialogue scenes on the ship. Irus' is complete and I started work on Elora's. Because billing will be paused from the 1st of February, I'll be turning my attention to completing the side stories for January in the next few d...

Depending on whether or not you helped Irus improve his leadership style in Chapter 3, you will get a variation of how he will respond to certain questions involving what comes after the war. In this scenario, the MC can ask Irus what he will do once he meets Virion again and if you've pushed him towards a more aggressive leadership style, this is his response.

Hello Patrons 😊
As you all know, Chapter 9 will not be complete by the end of January and I had intended to do a partial update. Because of real life stuff and hurting my hand, I lost a week of progress which means that an update next week will likely only include Irus' dialogue and be around five minutes of gameplay. I will also be using next week to write the side stories that were v...

A little sneak peek based on whether you stayed the night with Irus in Chapter 8.

The second choice is also an opportunity for those players who didn't choose to return Irus' love confession in Chapter 8 to come out and confess their feelings.

Hello Patrons 😊
This past week was not as productive as I had hoped it would be due to real life obligations and minor injuries.
That said, I have returned to work on Chapter 9 and hopefully, progress will puck up this week since my hand is healing nicely and I dodon'have any other real life stuff to deal with.
I'm still working on the dialogue scenes before the arrival in ...

Sorry for the radio silence. I had been really busy IRL preparing for a job interview which happened yesterday and I had hoped to have continued with Chapter 9 but due to my clumsiness (and the rainy weather I've been experiencing), I may have tripped over myself and ended up with sore and bruised hands and knees. It's made typing really painful on a keyboard especially...

The past week was spent working on Chapter 9. Progress has been going well and I'm currently working on the dialogue scenes before the arrival to Ishari.

Chapter 9 will not be fully complete by the end of the month, so I will be doing another round of SFW/NSFW RO stories this month. I have a feeling that smut will win out again but I might be proven wrong 😆
