K1M1K0 PROGRESS UPDATE 2026
Hiya :P took me almost 2 years but im finally back with a proper update!! I may, or may not, be the slowest writer or creative person on this planet. BUT since my introduction post almost 2 Years ago, i have made pretty good progress on the Story. Not as in: 'I have written it', but as in: 'I pretty much figured out everything i need to start properly writing' The Worldbuilding and Setting are now complete! A Short timeline of events relevant to the end of the world is also written, taking the 'metal gear' approach to lore, as in i start out with real world events that actually happened and alter details slightly so that bit by bit, as i move into the future, i can shape my world more openly, while having it atleast partially grounded in reality! What is also finished, is by characterisation for my two main characters. Both of them have name now, have a character arc i want them to go through: Aka Where do they start off, where do they end, and what is the driving force enablign that change. Also the themes and 'lessons'/messages that i want to tell with this story have also been implimented (in my mind for now), as my perspective on AI and the world in general shifted quite a lot since i started coming up with this world, so the plot, characters and themes will reflect that. Expect lots of ADHD Coded Self finding in the Android and Brutal life lessons that the world WILL fuck you over in our Protagonist. Or well...not really, im kidding, but i have figured out for myself WHY i want to tell this story and what i want to say. Building the Characters is still quite challenging though, despite me having a core concept at the center of each of them, actually writing dialogue and actions that reflect this is difficult, but i'll get there eventually. The Story will be split into a classic 3 Act Structure, with Chapters happening on two parallel timelines at the same time, jumping back and forth between them. TIMELINE 1: being in the current time, after the world ended, following our two Protagonists as the two of them figure out just what the hell they are doing and exploring the ruins of a destroyed world, from a split perspective: One Lacking any emotion, but with memories and contact to the world before the fall and One highly disturbed and messed up emotional View, by a broken human, who, due to having never had a life outside of survival, and no social contact beside himself, who doesn't see anything wrong in the destruction of the world, cuz for him THATS JUST HOME. TIMELINE 2: This timeline will be set in the past, before the world collapsed, showing us snippets of the pre-war world. The scientists working at K1K, developing our android character; The Maniacal Madman that would end up causing the World the fall. And maybe a few other characters should the narrative require it. These segments will set the stage for the locations or Events that the Two TIMELINE 1 Protagonists will explore and slowly but surely explain how the world fell to the AI Overlord. Chapters will bounce between the two Time Periodse.g. The Prologue: WHICH IVE ACUTALLY ALREADY WRITTEN A DRAFT FOR :D, Is set in the past, in the moment, right before the decision that would cause humanity to fall, was made, while Chapter 1 then immediatly cuts to the consequences about 30 Years later into the destroyed World. In about 4 Months i will take a Gap Year Abroad, giving me plenty of free time, that i might use to actually write K1M1K0. and also flesh out the world more, maybe draw some Concept Art, Character designs etc. All of which will be posted here along the way. I know that currently no one has like EVER seen any of my posts in this Blog, but maybe people will be interested, or maybe not, but in that case ill still have an archive of all my thoughts behind what im doing. Anyway, hope ya stay tuned, i got great big plans for the future!!
