PSA: I'm taking some time off social media
Hey! You might've noticed I haven't been on here for about a month :/ I'm doing well but don't really have the time nor energy for being online at the moment. I'll be back with a progress update in the beginning of September, but for now I'm still on break 😅

Monthly Progress June 2022
Hey! This month has been mostly testing what's written of Chapter 1, which isn't a lot in terms of wordcount, but the many differing dialogue branches and variables that are already in play make it a daunting task still. It's a lot of work and it's only going to get bigger, but I really want to write a game where what you do, say and think has importance! I generally work with a high percentage of choices / text or main route, so a lot of the testing is trying to make sure that doesn't feel too clunky or weird 😅
Writing progress:
Very close to finishing two of the five bigger branches in the middle! I also went through the content and streamlined some branches, so the wordcount update isn't wholly indicative of the total content that I've written :)
My goal for now is to finish the writing for Chapter 1 this year. I'm not sure when a demo could come out, considering that very much depends on how much testing needs to be done and other factors, and it's also possible that it grows to be much bigger than I've anticipated and thus takes up more time, but that's my current goal anyhow!
Wordcount: 17.408 (+315)
See you all next month! ❤️

Hello author!! I don't know if this had been answered before because tumblr's search is always broken but how old will our mc be? Thank you and have a good day!
Thank you for the ask! ❤️
I don't think it has! The MC has turned/will turn 17 that year when the story begins sometime in fall (I haven't set the exact date yet). It's the earliest age at which one can be enrolled at the Academy.
Hope you have a good day too :)

Hope you're having a good day author! Just discovered this IF and I already love the premise already. Even though the demo isn't out yet the characters have already captured my heat (especially Indigo 👀👀) Take all the time you need and can't wait for that demo to drop!!
Hello! ❤️
This really moved me today. I tend to worry that people just forget about the game since I'm not active a lot and I'm writing a lot slower than most, so this message made my day 😭❤️ hope your day is amazing too kind anon!

Putting this here in case other writers (and people in general) don't know about emotion wheels. This shit is helpful on so many levels.

Monthly Progress May 2022
Hey! This month has actually been pretty productive for me, although I got kinda burned out this last week 😔 but hey, summer's coming up, so that'll be great!
Writing progress:
Returned to Ilide, who's being as uncooperative as I expect her 😅
Did a lot of progress on the five split scenes in the middle, although I still haven't finished any one of them.
Wordcount: 17.093 (+3.360)
See you all next month! ❤️

i love redemption arcs and moments of rage and realistic ups and downs but y’all characters that choose love from the beginning and never stop just over and over choose to be kind and patient and willing every single time even when it’s justified even when they have every reason in the world and the universe is practically begging them to turn and become mean and wretched and angry and still at every turn refuse hate and stick to their compass. yeah.
