I've blustered about wanting to have Scramble Saga done for years now. Even though I wanted to work on it, I would beat my own ambitions down by thinking to myself I just couldn't present the story in a way that I was satisfied with.

But it's been long enough. Even if it isn't my original vision, I want it to be done. I want everyone who's waited all this time to have the ending to the story. So we're going to give it to you.

The above is a semi-organized write-up detailing all our old plans back when the comic was in active development, with absolutely minimal revisions and additions just for things to flow and make sense. There's a further preamble in the document itself; I'll let it do the talking. More bookkeeping under the cut:

You didn't think we were done, did you?

With the release of the genocide route plans, we can finally share one last proper part with you. A part that was actually finished all the way back when the comic was still actively being worked on, but couldn't share with you until now, as it revealed the hunter's true name: the name select screen.

Yes, another year has come and gone, and many of us celebrate to leave 2019 behind us.  According to society, it is a good time to start anew, a good time to make amends...a good time, perhaps, for us to stop lying to ourselves.

Yes, many of you have probably figured this out if you’ve kept a close eye on how development’s actually gone, but only now are we finally willing to admit it to ourselves:  Scramble Saga cannot continue, at least not in its current form.

We both had more time to work on Scramble Saga when we first started—I was unemployed at the time, and Chaos was in the easy part of his college education. As time has gone on, though, our available time to dig in and work on ScrS has decreased significantly.  Chaos and I both have jobs now, and it's been hard to take what little time we have left to turn around and keep working on something we've admittedly slowly been losing passion for.

We couldn't leave you all empty-handed, though. We've been sitting here behind the scenes trying to come up with the best way to tell you about all our plans, and—considering if it weren't for your continued patience and unending support, we probably would've quit sooner—we'd appreciate your input on the matter. We’ve opened a Google Forms survey to collect your feedback on what you'd like to see—be it specific boss fights, looks at as of yet unreached locations, or just the bits of re-written lore we had worked out—as well as how you'd like to see it.  Gutting parts of the journey will probably do this regardless, but we'd like to preserve as much of the emotional context as we can, we're just not sure what the best way to do that is. -Clare

Finally, the moment you’ve all been waiting for.
