Build 10: Io

Dear reader, it's time!

Today's update adds about 22,000 words to Chapter 20, and things are picking up! You'll find a returning mechanic — a "Hinterlands-style" exploration segment, but this time for Mt. Persephone — and a few familiar faces popping in to deal with some affairs.

This build has some nice amount of variation to it and you might want to go through it more than once. Not only there are more locations than you'll be able to explore in a single go, if you have recruited Themba you'll get an extra tidbit or two, and there's a good deal of other things adding little twists here and there.

Now, without further ado...

You can download Build 10 here.

Now, before you go...

If you didn't check our previous post, we have some news for our schedule going forward.

DECEMBER: Build 11 is coming out on December 13th for all patrons, with the Good Master Playtest going out sometime in late November.

Starting on December 20th we'll be giving the entire team a holiday break, so expect all other Patreon rewards (short story and AMA) to go out before then.

JANUARY: We're planning a special treat for when we come back from our holiday break. More news coming next month!

FEBRUARY: Build 12 will be biggest of all Chapter 20 updates and requires more time, hence its absence from January. If all goes well, it should come out around mid-February.

Internally we already have a release date for it and I feel reasonably sure we'll make it, but just to be sure we'll wait until things are further along before announcing it.

AND AFTER THAT: After Build 12 goes out we'll be shifting gears. Most of my time right now is going into implementing the content, with next to nothing left for writing. In order to keep things manageable, we'll be switching over to a schedule closer to Devil's Gambit — aiming for a release every other month, though there'll probably be some variance to account for our longer chapters.

Thank you for your support, and I hope you have a wonderful time with this latest version of Minotaur Hotel.
