Chapter 9 - running blog of release tasks

Added 2025-05-07 20:34:44 +0000 UTC

As with the last chapter, I'll keep a running blog of the tasks needed to complete chapter 9. Since this chapter is a lot shorter, these tasks should take a significantly less time than with a big chapter.

It'll be spoiler free, as is, and not an invite for discussion. It may be missing items, and items may appear on or disappear from it on a whim. It will be updated whenever I remember about it. It is not a countdown checklist.

Since we have a beta test that needs to be released to let the beta testers actually test it, before the regular release, I'll split tasks accordingly.

Note on the beta: beta testing is open to sir/ma'am tiers, but I recommend against tiering up to get it early as the game will be out not long after the beta starts (usually a week after), and will be riddled with bugs, typo's and other issues right now so it's not in the best state to play it. For those that are willing to brave the beta, there's a poll up where you can express your interest, and thank you for your help.
