Weekly Update - 24 July 2023
Added 2023-07-24 02:00:03 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
As you're all most likely aware, Chapter Nine has now been released to the public. So far, the reactions have been really fun, though poor Demeter is getting a bit dragged. Not that this is unexpected; I think a lot of people are playing PCs that very much enjoy being in the Underworld, so she can seem very much like an obstacle in that case, especially given her actions in the last chapter. It's interesting having a character whose role in the story varies so much based on how players imagine the backstory.
Anyway, at the moment I am beginning work on Chapter Ten! The outline is in a state where I'm mostly happy with it, and while a few sections will no doubt be getting some elaboration as I go, for the most part everything is laid out. At the moment, I have about 2,000 words of outline and an additional 2,000 of text, where I've started to fill it in, so I've already made more progress than I thought I would this month, which is nice. It means I can consider anything else a bonus, more or less.
Still, I'm hoping to get a solid beginning done by the end of the month; I'd like it if I had maybe 10,000 words total to send out for the BIP. That'd give me a nice start into next month, where I can hopefully hit the ground running, so to speak.
Speaking of the BIP, that'll be coming up here in a week's time, so you'll be getting it right after another update and a poll next Monday, if you're signed up to that tier. In the meantime, I hope you've all enjoyed running through Chapter Nine, and are looking forward to what happens next.
I certainly am. :)
Stay well everyone!
