Weekly Update - 14 August 2023

Added 2023-08-14 02:00:01 +0000 UTC

Hey everyone!

It's been a bit of a week, heh. But I'm making pretty steady progress on the chapter still, with another 7,000 added to the total, bringing it to 29,000 as of today. I'm still moving through the main 'plot' scene of the chapter, which serves in some ways as the climax of the story: the PC arguing with or against Demeter and/or the Underworld crew and/or/in front of Zeus (the dynamics of this can get a little bit complicated, as one might expect).

There are also hints at backstory and a fair bit of snark to be had, but the biggest emotional heft is likely to occur in the scenes I've decided I'm putting after this one, and which of those you get will depend on what you do with the biggest choice in the game.

I'm not sure what the wordcount will come out to be with this new addition, but I think putting that planned scene here rather than in the epilogue will balance things much more nicely. Up next, I'm scheduled to write my way through Zeus having a hissy fit and things possibly almost coming to blows (probably good no one wants that, as it might, y'know, start a war or something. Gotta love diplomacy.)

Anyhow, that's basically it for the update this week. On Wednesday you'll be seeing a POV piece from Hekate, which I do hope you'll enjoy, as it gives some insight into what everyone was doing while the PC was on Olympus. And then of course I'll be back next week with another update, and hopefully a fair chunk of progress.

I'm another year older, and so is FoA, but I like to think we both have yet to reach our full potential. :)

I hope you have a good week.
