Weekly Update - 17 June, 2024

Hey everyone!

I'm happy to report that I've finished the save building tool for Blood of the Living! It should do a reasonably good job of making sure all the very most important variables are set, so even though it won't replicate anyone's previous choices perfectly, I hope it does well enough for now.

I've also just gotten started on expanding the outline, so I'll give myself a few more days to do that this week and then I will get to code-skeleton-making and writing the actual first chapter of BotL. There will definitely be something there for those of you who get the BIP this month. It may not be a whole ton compared to a full-sized update, but there will be something.

Personally, I find that a bit exciting. All the admin work and planning is definitely necessary (the variable document made making the save generator much smoother, for example, and I know the detailed outline will help keep me on track), but I'm looking forward to the feeling of tangible progress that writing brings. And, of course, to spending time with the characters once more, and telling their stories.

While the PC is still very much the main character, I'm really looking forward to giving the other characters a bit more of the 'spotlight' with their subplots. :) There should also be an Alekto POV piece coming later this week, probably involving her stunningly-awkward almost-confession scene in the epilogue haha.

Anyway, that's everything for this week's update; as always, thanks for sticking with me. I hope you all have a fantastic one.
