TOXICity 0.06.0 update #1

Added 2025-04-29 22:18:39 +0000 UTC

Here we are, back into development mode. So, how about that reveal at the end? We're going to try hard not to spoil anything about girl #3 until you have 0.06.0 in your hands, but that's going to be difficult, considering her introduction is a major point in the chapter. Maybe slap a blur block over her in screenshots (kidding, mostly).

I'm sure some of you have noticed that when it comes to writing, TOXICity is more of a return to how we handled N&T. For each game (story/book/etc.), you have to find a specific tone, voice, and lexicon of terminology that gives it a unique voice. One element of this is what I like to call "levels", where the narrative is arranged with a certain pace/detail in mind. Think of it as a depth of view on a scene, where the "camera" may be pulled back to show less detail because the action dictates a wider field.

With TID, we pulled back a fair bit, meaning that we didn't delve super deep into every moment, and there were sharper cuts in the scene-to-scene transitions. Readers were left to infer events between moments based on what may have come before. With so many characters to cover, we couldn't get to the granular level without each update taking forever to complete. Now, with TOX, a chapter may only last 2-3 in-game days, rather than 5-10.

Thanks for your interest and patronage,
