Weekly Update - 13.03.23
Added 2023-03-13 02:00:02 +0000 UTCHey everybody!
It was a good week for progress this time. I've added another 14,000 words to the chapter, bringing us to a total of 124,000 now. I'm also making major headway through the actual myth portion of the Orpheus and Eurydice stuff, which is swiftly approaching the tragic (or not quite so tragic, depending on your choices) ending.
I'm actually pretty happy with the endings I've come up with for this version of that story. I didn't want any of them to be an unqualified 'success,' and I wanted to stay true to the fact that Orpheus looks back because it is in his nature to look back, and that shouldn't be something a few words from a stranger can stop him from doing, even in spite of himself. The story is beautiful because he looks back. But also the PC does have the power to tweak and twist Fate in a way full-blooded gods do not, and it was important for me to respect that as well. So I think the endings I have now will reflect both those things, hopefully in a way that feels both satisfying and true to source.
And honestly that's it from me for now, heh. A quiet week where a lot of words happened. Personally I can't complain about that at all. I'll be back with hopefully more of the same good news in this slot next week, so hang in there for that.
I hope you all have a great week in the meantime. :)
