Let's Call It Build 2.5: Progress Report
Added 2022-05-13 08:07:13 +0000 UTCI have been writing like a madman.
I have been up and down the feedback form.
I have been scribbling notes from everyone's comments, from here, F95Zone, and Patreon.
It's been insane, planning these next two builds. As discussed before, Build 2.5 will finish out Sunday and include Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of the following week. Build 3 will have Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Unfortunately, there are still some things happening IRL, but they are not impacting World's Crossing as severely as the major events that happened in this past half year. So we're still on track for a May Patreon release of 2.5 so far. It MIGHT get pushed to June. But if it does, that's only so I can make the twist scenes PERFECT because they're gonna require a LOT of extra work. There are some huge questions being answered in 2.5, and introduction of more questions for you to ponder on.
But what do you, the fans want? Based on the consensus:

You wanted more of little Wither. You're getting more Wither. A little taste in 2.5, and a nice, full scene in 3.0.

You wanted Galka. You're getting Galka. You're getting more Galka than I anticipated because she ended up being a WONDERFUL character to write and I had a blast with her scenes.

You wanted Druthari. You're getting a LOT of Druthari. I swear, these characters evolve on their own.

You wanted River. You're gaining a new way to interact with River in 2.5. Much more of this story in 3.0.

You wanted more Saarya. You're getting more of her and the mysterious Dryad language. Patrons will be getting the Dryad dictionary soon, so they'll be able to translate the conversations.

And, as revealed in the last post, you're getting a texting system. A basic texting system, but it allows for so much more interaction with the girls because I can write interactions that don't require shooting scenes. Starting in 2.5 and playing a major part in 3.0, you'll get an opportunity to check your texts every evening and have some one-on-one time with your favorite girls. You might even find some of them are braver over text than they'd ever be in person.
As for the PROGRESS. I am nearly done scripting Tuesday. Once I finish that, I'll just have to shoot and score Tuesday. Then it's script, shoot, and score Wednesday. I'll create another feedback form, attach it like I usually do, and turn it loose once it's all put together.
Thank you all so much for your passion, ideas, patience, and support! Without all of you, I would NOT have had the heart to continue this story. It's because of YOU that we're still going in this world with these lovable characters, and I have a SUPER special surprise for Patrons on its way. You wanted to know what's going on with Nook, right? Patrons will receive something special regarding Nook within the next couple of weeks. You will not forget this.
Much love to all of you!

Stumbled on your game on itch.io and thought id give you a shot considering you stating that you have been writing for a long time and was also a little upset that nothing out there really has a cohesive story. I too am a little bit of a writer and i want to say you are phenomenal and you should keep up the good work
Hehhehe
