5/31 Author Check-in- Chapter 4 and More
Added 2024-05-31 20:00:06 +0000 UTCThe Chapter 4 public update will be going live today, so that's always exciting.
This chapter gives you a few more opportunities to flirt with R than it does Z if only because we spend at least half the chapter with R. I'll try to balance out "screen time" more in the future.
From here, I'm going to copy paste what I've written for the author update on itch.io:
"1. We now have a glossary! It's mostly to give you a reference point if you forget details or definitions the way that I do. I'll update this as we go along.
2. And we now have dialogue indicators! I'd been thinking about adding them in for a while and then someone brought them up in the Discord and said it'd make it easier for my readers who aren't good at judging tone from text. Which I thought was a really good point, especially since what you and I consider snarky or grumpy might not be the same thing. The symbol key is under the "information" tab. (If I'm missing indicators anywhere, just let me know.)
3. This chapter is very long. Like, 14000 words in total long in total (each play through will only be about half of that). Remember to blink, unclench your jaw, and drink some water."

Moving on,
With Chapter 4 only just going public today, I've actually got quite a lot done with Chapter 5, which will be Kestrel's first appearance. No individual section of it is totally finished yet, but the word count so far is about 5k. Chapter 5 will also require its own breakdown in a different post, because there are a lot of moving parts.
And to end I just want to thank everyone who's joined me for the ride, whether you're a reader or you've joined her on Patreon or come by the Discord server. I love hearing from all of you.
