Developer Update: Week of August 6th, 2021
Added 2021-08-06 20:55:34 +0000 UTCThe most obvious and significant update this week was the release of chapter 4! At around 113,000 words, it's probably the longest update I've ever written, and certainly the longest (for now, anyway, lol) chapter in Years. I also completed the headers for chapter 5 ("The Rot of Yesteryear") and shared them.
Some of you may also be aware that this is something I do as a "side hustle" while I look for employment, but guess what...? I was finally offered a good job after around a year-and-a-half of searching! I'm not anticipating anything to go wrong, but having a job will mean that I won't be able to work on Years as frequently as I could have when I was working as a freelance writer. I will of course still be updating the main game and sharing other content (commissions, supplementary stories, lore, etc.) here, but the big chapter updates will probably not happen as often. I may end up releasing them one route at a time (because I essentially write four chapters in one) as a compromise, because I don't want anyone starved for content while they wait for another 100,000 word chapter that probably won't be out for another three months.
Also, it looks like Prudence's squad has received the first (and so far only, lol) vote for the next commission! Be on the look out for them!
