March Behind the Scenes
Added 2022-04-06 23:21:32 +0000 UTCMarch was absolutely crazy outside the world of Catgirls. I'm happy to say it's slowed down these last few days, giving me more time to get back into the swing of the story. It's become my home away from home.
Thank you all for being such an incredible community. Your support means the world, and your comments, discussions, and excitement always brighten my day.
I'm currently working on collecting the resources to start publishing EaC! in paperback, ebook, and audiobook. I'm extremely excited to have this in motion and will be editing it from the ground up once we're closer to the cover being finished as well as the images going inside.

Right now, the plans for the first three books are as follows:
Book one: Chapters 1 - 42 (plus all side quests/bonus quests/holiday quests in that timeframe)
Book Two: Chapters 43 - 81 (same with side/bonus/holiday)
Book Three: Chapters 82 - ? (Until it hits about 100k words and a natural stopping point)
Each book will feature 5 illustrations inside by Chros. The first one is Keke after Matt wakes up on the beach:

The talent doing the audiobook is E. S. Marlowe. He did a recording of the first chapter for me and did a kickass job. You can listen to it here: THE BENCH
For the current story, I've been planning out third classes in anticipation of more appearing in the main storyline.

Dark Priest into Demonologist has been a lot of fun to flesh out. Most of their skills will canonically use a bell.

The Ravyn art by yukimpoi is still going strong. Now we're working on the background:

All of the stickers for the $600 goal have been ordered and I have the stationery for the letters in hand. Hoping to have those all out in the next couple of weeks.

Lastly, March was Cerebral Palsy Awareness month. As this is a cause that's near and dear to a handful of Patrons, I donated 10% of my March earnings and matched them out of pocket to the Cerebral Palsy Foundation.

Thank you all so much again for your support! I'll see you later tonight with a new chapter!
