I posted mood boards for all the characters on my tumblr yesterday, thought I might as well share them here too.

Behind the Scenes: The Premise
It doesn’t matter what medium you tell your story in, it lives and dies by the premise. An interesting premise elevates not only the setting, the plot and the characters, but also the themes of a story. The very first thing I came up with when thinking of this project was the premise.

I thank you all very much for participating in the poll. "Behind The Scenes" is very much in the lead and I doubt that'll change, so this is the new type of content I have decided to add. This isn't going to be a weekly or monthly thing, but rather something extra that I will put out whenever I h...

Hello there, everyone! I have fixed a bug in chapter 6 that messed up Maeve's relationship stats. It (hopefully) works as intended now. I have attached the file below, as always just unzip it and execute the html file called "index".
I recommend replaying chapter 6 at some point before chap...

It’s time to release chapter 6!
All of your old saves should still be working, but as always I can’t guarantee it. Remember, only save files on your local disk work, not those stored in your browser.
That said, I hope you enjoy this new version of the demo! To get access to it, al...
2023-12-20 16:59:33 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 6 Release: 20th of December
Good news everybody! I have just finished writing chapter 6. It turned out to be around 38k words, which I think is a decent enough length. I'll be able to finish proof reading and bug fixing in the next few days and then the chapter will be available for you to read next Wednesday, on the 20th o...

It is time to finally release chapter 5 in all of its glory!
One thing I have to say though: I did end up changing a few more things, and I have to warn you: There is a high likelyhood that your old save files aren't compatible with the new version. I apologise if that is t...

Why hello there! I have some great news for you: I have finished writing chapter 5 of Misplaced and am now in the process of bug-fixing and proof-reading (more details in the next development update). As such, I can announce when you'll be able to read it:

Development Update October 16th
Why hello there, time for another update post! I'll keep it short this time since there's not too much to say.
I have written around 40k words of chapter 5 and am nearing the final stretch of it. I think it might well turn out to be a bit less than the 60k words I anticipated, but it doesn'...

Why hello there! I hope you are ready for some good news!
I'm not sure whether it's due to the colder temperatures or what, but my writing flow has been exceptional this past week. I've made a lot of progress and am now officially past the half-way point of chapter 5. I always get more moti...

2023-09-18 17:22:09 +0000 UTC View PostPoly Relationship?
Now that we have a few more members, I'd like to do a poll just to see what you all think. I've been asked a few times about implementing the option for a poly relationship. I'm not opposed to the idea, but it would mean a lot of extra work. That of course would mean a longer wait between updates...

Why hello there! It’s time for the next development update, and this time it’ll be about the progress of chapter 5. Exciting, right?
I hope you have all been enjoying chapter 4. I’m happy with the way it turned out, mostly. It’s difficult to judge a chapter like that on its own, sin...

Why hello there! It's time for another update post, though I do have to apologise in advance - this one is a bit shorter than usual. It kind of sucks but I just couldn't get a lot of writing done these past two weeks.

Why hello there! A new update post already? How time flies! It feels like only yesterday that I released the first demo, but it’s already been over a month. And what a fulfilling month it’s been, I’m honestly having a lot of fun working on this and reading people’s feedback.

Here's a little look at what the year in Gaiapeia looks like. The design isn't final, this is mostly just a graph to visualise it better.
Interesting things to note: there's 13 months with 29 days each, and winter has one extra month, the blood moon (a time in the year when strange things h...

Apparently you have to make a post before you can launch your patreon, so here I am! If you're reading this - wow, I'm floored. I had no expectations at all going into this, so actually getting support is mildly surprising.
