Weekly Update - 30 September, 2024
Added 2024-09-30 01:00:02 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
The BIP is due in an hour, for everyone in Bud Tier or above. In the meantime, progress this week went fairly well. I added 8,000 words to Chapter Two, bringing it to a total right now of 53,000. I'm not totally done with the Hekate-route version of the Hekate and Hermes scene just yet, so I'm not as far as I was projecting, but having only a little bit to wrap up at the end for that and two more scenes in the chapter otherwise does mean that the public demo should go out some time in October, all else being equal.
It's been a rough week in terms of personal setbacks, including my computer's screen breaking and forcing me to set up on another monitor in a configuration that... is not at all comfortable in any way. Hopefully my new laptop arrives today, so I can get back to making progress in a way that doesn't force me to squint and keep my neck at a bad angle.
In any event, fortunately it was only the screen! I was literally just about to back up several days' worth of progress to dropbox when it happened, so you can imagine my initial panic. I also had to call the Australian government for several different reasons this week, which is both time consuming and stressful, and then I had a very long doctor's appointment, but the upside to all this is I'm on medication for my chronic condition now and also I might be able to get paid my first month of royalties on time, which is all very good news.
Anyway, I think that's about it for this week; I'll be back again next Monday with another update and potentially some news, depending on how things go with getting the new computer and being productive and so on. :)
Until then, I hope you all enjoy the BIP, and have a great week otherwise.
