Progress Report

Happy Friday!!!

The update has been out for a few days, and it still feels surreal to have accomplished that milestone. I want to say, once again, thank you to everyone who reported bugs, typos, and errors, and, of course, left your feedback. It felt so good to finally share something that I had been keeping to myself for so long 😊

Which brings me to my next order of business. I'm almost done with Vallen for the Bonus Post (she's being difficult 🫩), and, after that, I'm going to throw myself at fixing all the typos you have reported. It is... a lot. An embarrassing number 😭, but at least they have their days counted.

I also want to add small paths and scenes that I didn't add to the update. They mostly feature Alessa — I forgot to write some alternative conversations and reactions, like, for example, if you recently broke up with her, or rejected her kiss when you're putting out the candles. I remember I was writing the main scenes in a cafe at the time and, when it was time to write down bullet points for those reactions, I didn't have my notebook with me, so I just wrote them on a random piece of paper...which, of course, was promptly forgotten xD

So, I need to clean bugs and add those. I should be done with it by Wednesday. I won't upload the new files immediately — I'm afraid it might mess up the saves. I know people are still playing the game, so I'll wait a week or two before uploading the new version.

And thus, I can begin writing Chapter 4 on Thursday!!!!! Chapter 4 will be significantly smaller than Chapter 3. It's pretty much a prelude to the Ball (chapter 5) to the point where I might hold off and publish the two together. I'm unsure yet! We'll see how it goes.

But I can't wait. I really, really want to get to the end of chapter 5. I need toooooo 😭 It's one of those scenes that has plagued my mind for over 3 years. So close...

And that's it!! Vallen first, then fixing the Alpha, and finally, Chapter 4.

I hope your week went well and that your weekend is even better (as weekends tend to be). On Sunday, a new heatwave will hit Lisbon. I am... not prepared. 😩

See you all soon 🌹
