Weekly Update - 05.16.22

Hey all!

It's already mid-May, huh? Sometimes I think time really needs to chill out and go a little slower. Anyway, I'm still pushing through these final, shorter parts of the chapter, after which I'll need to do some proofreading and testing to prepare for release. 

We're getting close though! I've started work on the Kerberos scene, which is a lot shorter than some of the other options in the chapter, but should hopefully be a fun little bit for those of you whose PCs will opt out of at least one of the more "serious" branches of things this time around. It features the PC's first solo interaction with Kerby, and the myriad conversational difficulties of talking to someone who can understand you mostly, but neither speak nor sign in return. 

I find it kind of cute, and some headway can nevertheless be made, especially for those of you with particular skill in Erudition, or who have elected to keep Erebus operative. 

In any case, I should hopefully be able to finish this scene within the week and get the last one outlined and started over next. It might be a little closer to an end of the month release on the chapter than middle of the month, but I'm feeling pretty confident I'll have it by the end. I may give those of you with early access, well, early access while I work on the outline of the next chapter, before releasing it more generally after making any adjustments the next chapter demands. 

I'm looking forward to moving onto the next part, for sure, as Chapter Seven will contain some of my favorite things to write: group interactions, one-on-ones with the characters, and action scenes! 

Later this week, we'll have a bit of Alekto POV for everyone, from her outing scene with the PC, so if you're a fan of hers, be on the lookout for that on Wednesday. 

Have a good one, y'all.
