For this month's story, the winning vote went to "How would a survivor go on a date with the MC?"
Since this choice won, you will vote for the survivor to go on the date with the MC. The survivors will be all of the available romantic options as of the end of Part 3.
To make this open to every reader, the main characters details will be neutral.

"Havin' gone to visit the Southern Ute tribe, it's made me realize how much we can benefit from trade relations with other groups. We need to ally with other strong groups and trade with them, makin' use of their assets while offerin' our own."

This has been another productive month, and I am already close to my writing goal for Safe Haven as of the time of this newsletter, written on February 20. Below, I will discuss my timeline for completing this part and what goes into producing a game like this. My writing goal has been to increase my daily word count, though that has yet to happen this year. I will explain more about this in the ZE:SH section.

Sean turns towards you and takes on a more serious look. "I've been hearing rumors of an election for a leader of our group. From what I've heard, Jaime was elected right after the outbreak on some hilltop. Since there is going to be an election, I'd like to throw my name into the mix. I'd be a great leader and have tons of management experience."

Since the Makarovs have been dealt with, and Tommy's revenge storyline is not finished, I would like your opinion on the next storyline for him. Below are a few choices for how you would like to see Tommy's path progress in Part 4 and possibly beyond.
Madison stood and motioned toward the few items they had stored in the attic. “Let’s get ready to go. We’re going to Uncle Nate’s.”
Brody replied with a nod. He walked to the corner of the room and gathered the backpack, water bottles, and a few sandwiches. He lifted his lacrosse stick and swung it over his shoulder like a rifle.

You sit at the bench between Jaime and Brody. "I am checking in with everyone, Reilly. What are your plans for today?"
He grabs a biscuit, takes a bite, and talks while chewing. "I don't have huge plans for today but plans for all of our future. Let me run something by you…there are a fe...

Are there any actors, celebrities, models, or famous people that would be a reference for how you view Madison?
What types of clothes, accessories, or gear should she be wearing?
2023-02-13 18:01:42 +0000 UTC View PostAs we move through the list of characters for commissioned artwork, you will select the subject of this month's commission.
Since female characters seem to get more votes than male characters, if a female is selected this month, I will most likely set up an all-male list next month.
Who would you like to see this month for commissioned artwork?
2023-02-12 17:13:49 +0000 UTC View PostThe artist is still working on this commission, but I think it's working great so far!
That's right, I am back to writing original articles and short stories for your favorite characters!
Since I have already explored the early days of the outbreak for many characters, I want to open up ideas for future stories into a variety of ways.
If you have any ideas for future stories, please let me know.

It seems like the Kelly hate has died down a bit, and some readers are finding her more likable. I also think she's one of the more interesting romantic options.
What do you guys think?

After SNOW-A-PALOOZA, Brody and Madison went into the attic of their family home to hide from the infected running through their property. These events can be read in the official app in the Stories from the Outbreak DLC. You can also read the follow-up story of Madison and Brody going to Chipper Ridge, where they eventually meet the main character. The story we will be building will start in the attic, and your choices will dictate how the t...

This is also not the finished product. She will also add a lot of shading and lines to make the character standout.

The winning vote was for me to write an interactive story from the point of view of a character in Zombie Exodus: Safe Haven.

These changes will go into effect on February 1st, 2023. Please read the upcoming tier descriptions, so you can decide if you wish to change tiers before they go into effect.
A few big things to note:
The scene is the MC speaking with the nephew:

"[Name], can I ask you something? What do you have to do if you're a boyfriend?"
"What do you mean?"
"Missy said she wants to be my girlfriend, and I would be her boyfriend. She said girlfriends get to tell boyfriends what to do, and boyfriends are supposed to do nice things for girlfriends, like find them flowers and tell them they look pretty and stuff like that."

For those of you who are interested in artwork, do you like to see the character represented in the way they are first introduced, or do you prefer to see them in artwork in the way that they are most often seen in game?
For example, when you first meet Rachel, here is her description:

As promised a few months ago, here's a poll about the future of my interactive story. People seem to enjoy the interactive ones more than regular stories, so we will choose how we procced with interactive ones.
For this poll choose from the following options:
The older man picks up a bottle of pink liquid with a long straw and sips from it. When he's finished, he sets the glass down, repositions in his beach chair, and says, "You got to pay the toll."
"For fuck's sake, there's a toll?" Jesse asks.

She takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly. You can tell she's working up the courage to speak. "The news about you-know-what has made its way through the group. Everyone knows."
"That you're pregnant?"
"No, that I'm really a zombie in disguise. Yes, that I'm pregnant."
2023-01-14 16:24:11 +0000 UTC View PostI am planning to have artwork for each major character in Zombie Exodus: Safe Haven. My plan is to commission artwork, but in the meantime, I want to use art I find from the web, ArtBlender, etc. as references for the artist that I commission.
This is going to be a long process. Based on my use of artists in the past, character art costs $100-$400, depending on the artist and other factors.
