Writing Update March 2025

(Writing update, copied from my Tumblr blog)

Hello everyone!

Here's the writing update for March. Since my injury's gotten better, I've been able to do more work on the game; some changes should be visible already while I'm saving others for when I publish the full version of the demo.

I'd also like to clarify that when I talk about the "finished/full version" of the demo, I don't mean that it won't be updated with more content or that it won't change design-wise. What I mean is that everything present so far in the demo - the background stories, the prologue part with Cirern and chapter one where the MC and Muir are adults - will be finished and won't require more editing or polishing and that I won't add more content to those parts. I'll still be updating the demo with the rest of chapter one and more regardless.

This week I'm mainly focusing on integrating the usage of spells/the spellbook and writing content for different spells that you can use at different points of the game, starting with chapter one. Next week I'll be adding more content to the demo as a whole. I think the final version will feel quite a bit meatier in terms of choices than it does now :) at least that's my hope. This in particular might take more than a week to do, but I've set a deadline for myself at the end of March latest. I'll be reblogging the intro post once the demo is ready.

Meanwhile I'm slowly working on some small things on the side, such as updating the intro post and make it look better + updating the itch.io page and experimenting with some UI design for the game itself.

Thanks a lot for your patience and support and to everyone who has left comments and ratings!
