Weekly Update - 28 October, 2024
🕑 Added 2024-10-28 02:00:02 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
As most of you are no doubt aware, the public version of the demo went out on Saturday. It has a couple typo and flow fixes that the most recent Patreon demo doesn't, so for the next little while I'd recommend that version.
Of course, that doesn't really apply if you get the BIP, which will be out on Thursday, because that is going to have the first part of chapter three! I've finished the optional Demeter scene, and I'm now working on one version of the (also optional) Iasion scene—the one where the PC goes to see him alone rather than with Demeter. Some parts of these scenes will be similar, but others will be quite substantially different based on whether she's present or not, so I'm taking the perhaps slightly-inefficient route of treating them as separate entities for now.
Certainly, as I'm writing the sequel and the focus is changing from one single story to a variety of subplots, the amount of optional scenes is increasing by quite a bit! There are conceivable playthroughs that will actually have no new content added in the BIP or for some time after it—specifically, if the PC wants nothing to do with either of their parents. But I do hope most will want to explore the subplot with at least one or the other, and I'm sure most players will see a bit of what I'm writing here, so on it goes.
The last part of Chapter Three will be a variable scene with the player's RO/PO (or both, if they've previously indicated interest in a poly with Hermes and Hekate). Chapter Four will be the next developments in the RO subplots, but I wanted to put a firm foundation down for the Iasion and Demeter stuff first.
Anyway, that's what's going on at the moment. The BIP should have at least 15,000 words in Chapter Three, as I managed another 7k this week. I'll need a day or two for testing as usual, hence the conservative estimate. In any case, I hope the demo has left you eager for more. :)
