August 4 Update
Added 2019-08-04 19:14:32 +0000 UTCThis was a really scattered week. I'll just give each item its own paragraph, I suppose.
Artwork for TLS moves forward, and I just gave $10 backers a look at the first three finished scenes. CGs will keep coming out until the first chapter is ready, then we'll have an art update, but I'll be showing all patrons previews until then. Starting with the Aka scene above, which should be immediately recognizable. ^-^
I find myself wondering about setting up a Discord again simply because I get a new person messaging me about it every 1-2 weeks or so. It's not really a priority to me, but sometimes I wonder if it wouldn't be easier to just make one and find a volunteer mod.
There are a couple more novels potentially ready for beta reading, but I don't know if I'll be putting them out here yet or not. My work on those is completely done for the time being, so they're not taking up any time.
Though Street Cultivation could theoretically have come out this weekend, I've pushed it back maybe a couple weeks. This is because I've been talking with someone who's quite successful in the genre (they've hit top 100 on Amazon) and they advised some changes to presentation. Since a book's cover is more important than the book itself, I'm taking their advice seriously.
This is one of those weeks where I did okay, but know I could have been more productive. I did an adequate amount, just not enough if I want both TLS 0.45.0 and Street Cultivation 2 in finished state ASAP. But I'm making progress, so hopefully I can report solid work next week.

Glad you're enjoying them! Though choosing how much to play current content is entirely up to you, I'll caution that the art isn't going to catch up to the game immediately or anything. It'll be an ongoing process.

2019-08-10 19:29:56 +0000 UTCI am not playing anymore since a little after the art work was announced. I will start playing the game again, from the start, when the first chapter has the art update I think. So far the art previews are great

2019-08-06 20:39:26 +0000 UTCWill you do an update post on the status of the game, and the size of Chapter 5? I am curious to hear how large it will be, concidering each new chapter has been larger in size than the previous (when counting how many updates they spanned)

2019-08-04 22:30:30 +0000 UTCI do try to send people to the wiki whenever they ask, but I think the issue is simply that people are more likely to keep using the platforms they already use.

2019-08-04 22:27:22 +0000 UTCI don't really see the need for a discord as the Speculation thread on the wiki usually handles most other talk. So maybe try adding a public post endorsing it? I realize the blog already has a link on the side for the wiki but as a representative of the internet I can tell you finding things that are not directly shoved into my face is not a strong suit.

2019-08-04 21:16:16 +0000 UTCEventually you will succumb to the will of the Discord users, and I will have a new domain to petition for Ouroboros 2: Back to Reality. It is inevitable. It is your destiny.....
