Chapter 11 Sneak Peek - Miva
Miva, unlike Salyra, will not disapprove of the MC and Irus being together. There is an alternative dialogue for those not romancing Irus and you won't get the last two options if you're just friends.

Perhaps Miva can shed some light on Irus and the MC.
Hello Patrons π I hope everyone has had a good start to the new year! It honestly feels like I'm still in 2024 and until I start work IRL again (tomorrow π₯²), it's not really going to sink in that 2024 is over.
This week was slightly better than the last. It's been busy with New Year's celebrations and the general holiday mode I've been in for the past few weeks, but scenes were written. I've completed most of the Salt Bay scenes with only Irus' dialogue scenes to go.

Happy New Year Patrons β¨οΈ
I hope this year brings you all the things you deserve and want for yourself. Thank you for being a constant support and for your endless patience.
Your kindness is what has gotten me so far in the game's development and I'm going to do my best to have everything ready by the end of 2025 in hopes to release the game in December or very early 2026.
Let's have another great year together and I can't wait to share it with you all π

Hello Patrons! π
It's officially the last devlog for the year. Time flies when you're developing interactive fiction and as we approach the ending of the game, I've been starting to plan for its eventual release on Steam.
Before that can happen, I want to complete Chapter 11 in the next 2-3 weeks. I'm not going to lie, the festive season has made ot really difficult to focus on the game while balancing family life. I've been at work IRL since the second week of January, so this...

For those who celebrate Boxing Day, Happy Boxing Day! It has been crazy busy with Christmas and the festive season, so I've been on and off with writing and being online. Please expect some days off from me until the end of the weekend but know I am still around to respond to questions/messages.

Merry Christmas Patrons!

May your holidays be filled with joy, laughter, and the magic of Christmas.β¨
I'm so grateful for each and every one of you and your incredible support. Sending lots of love and festive hugs! π

Hello Patrons! I hope you're all excited for the approaching Christmas π
Work on Chapter 11 has been going well so far. Currently, I'm in the middle of the saving scenes with an escape imminent for the gang. That should be done in the next day or so then I'll start work on Salt Bay scenes.
The Salt Bay scenes will give players a chance to deal with Ahlf's death, learn more about Miva and possibly find out about Ahlf's and Salyra's relationship from the woman herself.

Wear a mask or don't, either option will give you some flavour text once you're inside the city of Solime.
As a Patron of Cyre tiers and up, you'll receive one side story featuring a POV of a non-RO character. The option with the most votes will be shared with you all. In the event of a tie, a randomiser will be used to determine the winner.
Option 1 - Salyra's POV: Travelling to Cyre has made Salyra nostalgic of days long passed. In this story, delve into her history with Ahlf and her feelings about finding out what happened to him in Salt Bay.

It's been really fun showcasing more of Salyra away from the temple because she's lost some of that stand-offish High Priestess vibe. Depending on what you choose, you might learn more about her past and see a side of her that she hasn't really shown in Ishari.

Hello Patrons! π
We're halfway through December which feels crazy because it only just feels like I've finally gotten a break from my IRL job.
This week was quite productive although I think my brain has officially shut down on me and is on holiday mode because writing is taking a lot more focus than it used to. That said, it's helping a lot that I'm not confined to 2-3 hours to write which means I'm getting scenes done in a single day that would normally take me 2-3 days.

Hello Patrons! As we approach Christmas, I've been thinking of making the current demo (up until Chapter 10) temporarily available to the public. This is more of a thank-you gift to those who aren't able to join Patreon but also a way for me to get a broader range of feedback from players outside Patreon.
As the title says - it will be limited access to 1-2 days being the 21st and 22nd of December 2024. The demo will be removed after a specified time on the 22nd of December, meaning tha...

Hello Patrons π It's December and if you're like me, this is definitely a long-deserved break. This year felt like it was never going to end but as of Tuesday, I'll be able free woman from my IRL job π
Work on Chapter 11 has begun but I've mostly taken it easy this past week since I had a lot of personal stuff to handle and unrelated work stuff. That said, once I'm on leave from my job, I'll be able to spend my day writing opposed to writing for 2-3 hours max.

Hello Patrons π It's finally December π This year felt too long and I've been eagerly counting down the days until I'm free from my IRL job β only 9 days to go β¨οΈπ₯³
That being said, the first draft of Chapter 10 is finally complete and the full chapter is ready to be played based on the update schedule. Chapter 10, like my IRL job, felt never-ending on account of the two very separate paths which devolved into becoming huge branches to write.

The full Chapter Ten is now available to play. Please RESTART the game from the beginning if you intend to play the Vinia path.
Unfortunately, during testing, it was uncovered that old saves are causing issues with variables in Chapter Ten, resulting in bugs and failures in obtaining a successful outcome in Hadi.
Hello Patrons, with not much to test from the conclusion, I'll be posting the demo according to the following release schedule:
29 November - Ishari
2 December - Vinia
6 December - Cyre
