Team Nessassity News - Finishing the Year of Finishing Things: The Final Stretch.

So! It is THE END... of November! And also my pleasure to announce that the long-awaited Lhùren Rework project...

✧ Elves of Stellaris

...is still not done >.> BUT! We're rolling with the punches. During December, my schedule is actually, at long last, completely clear. If I don't manage to finish it by solar New Year, I'll be rebranding to Clownessity >.< You can hold me to that!

✧ Finishing the Year of Finishing Things!

That said! I was still quite busy working on my Year of Finishing Things during November, although it mostly involved checking off a couple of things unrelated to modding. Aside from some personal matters on the icky, grassy, deadly-laser-scorched side of the screen, bittersweetly, I also finally wrapped up my almost 3-year-long tabletop campaign. So now, a big chunk of my brain responsible for (mostly) coming up with overly complicated plots and character arcs has been freed up to... come up... with overly complicated plots and character arcs for Project Charon and Project Persephone. So um... we'll call that a draw!

But jokes aside, this does meant that out of all projects I planned to wrap up this year, it seems like Lhùren Rework and Vellum Noctis are the only two left! Will I be able to finish both of them during December? Realistically... probably not. But I'll at least try, aaaaaand if one of them happens to bleed over into next year, that's completely fine too. I'm determined to do whatever is necessary and have literally nothing else left to do before the Year of Starting New Things ò_ó

However, regardless of how this last stretch works out, the December MMR will still be the final Monthly Mod Report. So... To make it a little more fun (and not at all because I have nothing to talk about in this one >.>) the December MMR will actually be released in small, weekly, installments, and conclude with (hopefully) a big finale at the end of the month!

I want to do this so I can get used to taking a bit more of a casual approach to progress reports. The Project Charon Dev Diaries will not be those huge monthly summaries that you're used to. Instead, I'd like to focus on small, achievable milestones that I can report on at least several times per month, without a set schedule. I want to make the DDs engaging to you without being so formal and exhausting to me. And I think scaling down and becoming more spontaneous will be the way to go!

At least... that's the plan for the early development of Project Charon. Once the game is playable enough to start public testing and- OH! Ooops! I almost spoiled something! Phew... that was a close one! Future Princess would have been in so much trouble if I blabbed right now. Mhm... but then again... it could be fun to watch her reaction...
Or... not! How about not? When I become her, there will be nothing but regrets! Again! It's almost as if Current Princess DIDN'T LEARN ANYTHING from Past Princess's derps! Ugh... I swear, it's like herding cats with the attention spans of goldfish.

Wait... what was I even talking about? Oh! Right! Whatever form DDs take, hopefully I can manage to move away from these insanely long progress reports full of weird tangents moving forward. And, our first test of my ability to do so... should be happening in roughly a week, with December Monthly Mod Report, Episode 1!

...I'm bad at naming things, okay? I KNOOOW!

Anyways! >.< If you have somehow made it all the way here, thank you for reading this long wall of nothingburger <3 As always, thank you for your continued support and I hope you have the merriest and happiest December coming up! And have fun doing anything you want!

Love <3 cats <3 hot chocolate <3 oh and I forgot to mention our cute Discord community, so here it is too! <3
