Some Unfortunate News

Added 2023-12-26 02:28:35 +0000 UTC

Hey everyone.

I am lucky enough that I usually get to write with good news, but unfortunately today I've got some of the bad kind. It's nothing catastrophic (though it certainly feels that way to me right now), but it does mean a significant delay, and that it's unlikely I get the prologue out for the BIP this month.

Specifically, I lost the version of the game files where the character creator was. Because it was something I'd done this month, I hadn't yet backed it up to my dropbox, and a careless error left me with all that information missing and no way to restore it (Windows 11 is apparently just terrible with this, so if you use it, you may need to go in and manually enable the creation of Restore Points, just so you know!)

This means I anticipate that the part of my week that isn't spent rewriting the character creation scene (RIP me, because I had it exactly how I wanted it and also remember almost nothing about how that was) will be spent on necessary travel home from my relative's place, so... I'm hoping I'll at least be able to remake the character creator and get it to you by the end of the month.

I was really looking forward to finally getting into the meat of the edits, and now this happens. It's extremely disappointing (and, honestly, infuriating) for me, but it's done, and the only thing I can do now is move forward. I hear this sort of thing happens to every writer at least once, which is honestly not shocking haha.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know where I'm at, because it's a pretty significant difference from the state of things just yesterday. Sorry in advance if there's not much in the BIP this month, but I sincerely hope the completed character creator will be worth it!
