Weekly Update - 24 February, 2025

(The way I accidentally typed '2015' up there for a second. Oof.)

Anyway!

Hello, everyone. We've nearly hit the end of the early access cycle for Chapter Three. Everyone on here should be able to see it now, so if you can't, please let me know.

I ended up only doing a bit of basic outlining this week, but as a result, I also managed to get 8,000 words on the first of the scenes for Chapter Four. This chapter begins with a route-specific scene for each RO/PO, where we start to follow up on that part way back in Chapter One where they asked the PC to help them out with something. I'm now about 50% of the way through Charon's route, so I'm hoping to have that one at least finished for the BIP, but we'll see how things go this week.

I also got a pretty good amount of plotting done for Project Crystalline this week; the overall shape of the thing is slowly coming together, and I'm beginning to develop certain sidequest chains now as well. It'll still be quite a while before anything gets written down in story form for that one, but I'm happy with the progress I'm making so far; it gives my brain something to do that isn't just trying to get words on a page, which I appreciate at this point in time.

Meanwhile, life continues to be life. I'm expecting my landlord to price me out of my place by raising rent again this year (if you live in Australia right now, you know this is not uncommon in the least), so there may be a big move in my future, which will surely be both annoying and expensive, but we do as we must. I hope you're all hanging in there, and finding some time to do things that bring you joy (and not, say, doomscrolling and depressing yourself just by keeping up with the news cycle).

I'll be back in this space in a week, when it will be March! So until then, have a good one.
