#development diary

Uuuugggghhhh

It's hard to write poems.

I am not a poet! But I tried very hard this week! 😂 I wrote 6... They aren't long but I might torture myself further and write a few more so you can have variations 🥲

Anyway, I wrote a big chunk of one of the missing branches in Chapter 6.

There are a few cool things in it. You get to have a dance with someone you probably didn't expect to dance with. You also get some juicy morsels of lore about your favorite RO which your MC will not be able to learn anywhere else on-screen.

There is a LOT of variation in these scenes based on your MC background, which is always really fun to write ❤️

This bit is already playable in the early-access demo on Patreon, which you can get here in TIER 2:

Anyway, the update is available in the link below from TIER 2, and I also have news for the public!

The public update with chapter 5 will be coming out on the 6th of June 🥳

This week has been going quite well. I'm still trying to keep myself to the new schedule. Now it's only 85% failing! Amazing!

Anyway, I've added lots of different scenes all over the place. There are a few paths in the new scenes that aren't done yet. Tabiry's, the poly route, and the friendship route is going to come next week, but the others should be playable.

There may be some inconsistencies and weird paragraphs where I forgot or haven't added flavor text yet.

What's new:

16 000 words added to the patreon early access demo

I expanded some of the scenes where Narmer comes up from the dungeon.

Some scenes are still missing when you go with Tabiry to collect the food in Memphis or if you stay behind with Ahmose and the others, I will add those next week.

You'll have a stop on the road at a not-creepy house. There is nothing wrong there, trust me.

You can have a one-on-one conversation with your RO, provided that your RO is Narmer, Qenna, Zaia, or Ahmose. Tabiry and the other routes will just end abruptly but they are coming next week.

Qenna's talk has LOTS of variations in it. LOTS. Please check out if it flows correctly if you happen to read it :)

That's it for this week! Happy Easter to everyone who celebrates it🌸

This week has been going better for the writing, in no small amount thanks to all the encouragement I got from my friends and all of you guys ☺️ I think the new daily schedule I've been trying to keep myself to will work as well... in time. It will probably take a while to get used to.

Anyway, this new update has some missing pieces still, but it's around 90% playable.

What's new:

18 000 words added to the patreon early access demo

There are more romantic scenes in this one. Some of the friendship route scenes, and a few of Zaia's scenes are still missing because I'm still trying to figure out how to give Zaia meaningful content without them being... you know, there.

There are also many variations for different ROs when in front of the Memphis gates, if you go with another character instead. It's going to be worth checking out because you may get some interesting tidbits from others 👀

This week has been very mentally slow for me. I didn't feel very good about my writing, so progress has been a lot more sluggish than usual. Still, I think I managed to get back on track and I got some (hopefully) really good ideas for later 👀

What's new:

Around 13 000 words added to the patreon early access

There are some extra sleepy scenes on some of the routes, and you can have some... hm... quite interesting conversations with some of the ROs

Zaia appears on their route, very whimsically, out of the realm of dreams lol

The group will have a conversation about everything that went wrong last time

Time to train! These scenes are different than the first training scenes in the book. Hopefully they will be enjoyable 👀

This week, I finished all of the choices that were left out from the previous update, plus I started working on the system of the random encounters. In the patreon demo, there are currently two random scenes you will be able to get. I will add more later as I develop the game. Currently, I'm planning 10 pre-written scenes, where one of them will trigger randomly at a certain spot in the story.

What's new in this update:

Around 12k words added to Chapter 4 in the patreon demo

The previously missing scenes from the last update have been added

I fixed a few coding errors where some of the conversations kept repeating randomly after each other in the last update

The group continues their journey and are slowly approaching Memphis, in the middle of the road there is a random encounter

Next week, I'm going to write the scenes when finally, the group will arrive at Memphis, the new royal capital, where Ahmose and Narmer lives. There will be a few cute scenes in the city itself, you can go to the market and spend some of that hard-earned money (looking at you noble MC), and you can spend some time with your chosen RO.

The patreon demo is currently available from TIER 2, here:

The first few scenes of Chapter 4 are here, as your group leaves Abydos! In this update, you can meet the rest of the group, say goodbye to Petmes, and step on the road again. There are some interesting scenes before the farewell, and a few interesting new characters to meet as well 👀 The new content is around 10 000 words now, plus a small 3 000 words that was added last week to the patreon demo at the same time as the public update came out.
