Weekly Update - 24.10.22
Added 2022-10-24 01:48:24 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
I am back once more with an update. Progress continues on the chapter, and the to-date word count for this month has risen to 42,000. That's a little short of where I hoped it would be at this stage, and I probably won't quite get 60k this month, but I'm satisfied that things are moving along relatively briskly nonetheless.
In terms of where in the chapter that puts me, I'm smack in the middle of the Pyri and Alekto branch, which should hopefully be mostly finished by the end of the month, though perhaps not completely. I'm doing the first half of the 'split' midway through the route now, though, so it's moving along a bit faster than the last one did.
Trying to describe the inside of Tartarus is difficult. This is definitely not a horror game, and I don't at all consider myself a horror writer, so I've tried to go a bit lightly on those touches; a PC who enters Tartarus comes under a magical fear effect, and there's a few creepy crawlies and heebie-jeebies in honor of spooky season, but it's really pretty tame as far as that goes, I think. No doubt there's scarier stuff deeper in, but I am trying to mind my genre a bit and not freak anyone out much.
Though, this will be one of only a few chapters that needs its own content warnings, I think.
Anyhow, I hope you're all having a good month, and that this week rounds things off nicely for you. I'll be back next week with another update, and a BIP, for those of you who get those, plus there's a Mirror due on Wednesday that I still have to figure out.
Cheers!
