Hello everyone!
I am pleased to report that I got everything done this week that I was planning to and then some. I have a new outline for FoA, including several new scenes with various characters that I'm going to write as I create the second draft, and a list of things to be changing as I...

In line with the results of the poll last month, here's a little something of Alekto during Chapter Nine, this time featuring Meg and Tis, too. (Naturally, this vignette assumes they were both safely rescued earlier.)

Hey all!
Here we are with the final piece of the River Deities series by @gncrezan; this is Lethe! She's definitely a little bit more hale and healthy here than she is in the majority of the story. I really loved the color...

This week has been kind of a weird one. On the personal side of things, my holiday travel was delayed after I spent over ten hours on a train on Saturday (on what was meant to be a five-hour trip, but stopped partway through for some rain to pass and then had to go back becaus...

Hey everyone!
I'm not sure how I forgot to post this, but it turns out I now have a slight backlog of commissioned art from the amazing @gnerezan, so... I'll be posting one of these excellent pieces a week for a little whi...
2023-12-12 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
This week was a pretty good one for progress, if I do say so myself. I got the rest of the way through the character creator, including filling in all the descriptive text and implementing the new trait system in it. Additionally, I got the majority of the planning work for th...
2023-12-11 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
I promised that the first bonus content this month would cover some changes I’m making to the skill system. So, I’ve given something of an overview for those changes below, including my rationale for departing from a traditional numbers-and-checks system, the basics of wha...
2023-12-06 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone!
I hope you're all doing well as we round out the year.
As some of you have seen, I have a fifteen-item 'editing list' that I want to get through before submitting the game for publication. Having completed steps one and two for now, I'm now hard at work on step t...
2023-12-04 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
Just to let you know, the public demo has now been released. You've all had access to it for at least a little while now, but with this, I take the actual step forward of having the whole game out there in the vast sea of the internet.
Or at least, the whole first draft....
2023-11-30 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! The poll is pretty straightforward this month. I just need to know if you want me to continue my current series of "post chapter nine" bonus contents with something from Alekto, or if you'd rather see something else from her instead!
2023-11-30 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHey all!
As one might expect, I don't have anything new I can show off as a BIP right now, having just finished the draft and now being in that part of the editing stage where I'm mostly figuring out what I need to do and in what order. But the spirit of the BIP is previewing what's g...
2023-11-30 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHello again, all!
The early access version of the game's end should now be there for all of you; I hope those of you just getting around to it (or who do so in the next little while) enjoy it!
Meanwhile, I'm beginning the editing phase. The first step has been to make a sort of 'rever...

Here we are, on the appointed day, and here it is, the last part of FoA's first draft. I hope the ending satisfies, whichever one you choose, and that those of you who end up with the "Underworld Epilogue" are looking forward to the sequel!
Thank you so much for stick...

It’s been quite the week. Long story short, I’ve finally finished editing the epilogue, and so it and Chapter Ten begin the Early Access cycle as of right now. If you’re in the Everbloom Tier, you can see it now; Blossoms and Buds, it’ll appear for you on Thursday at noon (...
2023-11-20 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHey all! This month's RO POV features Charon in the aftermath of Dionysus's disappearance back to Olympus, with some Hades and a little bit of Lethe, but mostly just a lot of wallowing.

When Charon is stressed, they exert themself physically.

2023-11-15 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
It's been quite a successful week for writing over here—16,000 words later, the epilogue is now at 61k in total. More importantly, I'm done with everyone's epilogue versions except Hekate, and I'm about halfway through hers. This means I can safely give you all a release dat...
2023-11-13 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
I'm back again. Things have been going pretty smoothly so far with this last part of the epilogue; I wrote 10,000 new words this week (after the BIP went out), and I've as of now finished the Hades and Hermes route versions of it, and am now working my way through the Ch...
2023-11-06 02:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostHey all!
The last Q&A with this set of questions goes to Hekate! I'm hoping that this slot will be used for a different sort of bonus content related to the editing process next month, but I can't promise that, yet. For now, please enjoy some insight into the Goddess of Magic. :)

2023-11-01 02:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
As promised, this month's BIP includes a brand-new 35,000 words of epilogue, which is not done yet, but is definitely in its last stage. (The trick, you see, is all the variations, but I'm getting through them!)
I hope you enjoy what we've got, anyway. 2023-10-31 02:00:01 +0000 UTC View Post
Hello all!
Before I release the WIP out into the wild in about an hour from now, I'm curious to know what you want to see from next month's bonus content. I'm going to go ahead and guess that something from Charon when the PC was away would be welcome, so instead I'll ask: who would you lik...
2023-10-31 01:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
It's the last Monday of the month, so this is sort of my summation of the month's progress as well as this last week's. Right now, the epilogue comes in at 35k words (a number some of you might recognize as my most recent estimate of how long it would be) and... well, there's ...
2023-10-30 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone!
This week was a pretty good one for progress—I wrote another 11,000 words on the epilogue. Less fortunately, perhaps, it's turning out to be considerably longer than I anticipated. At the beginning of the month, I thought it might come out to 15,000 words in total, but rig...
2023-10-23 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone!
I realized thanks to a message on tumblr that I've inadvertently fallen out of my usual schedule with updates; somehow I've moved to posting things on weeks 1 and 3 of the month, rather than 2 and 4. But, honestly, this kind of works better for me, because now I'm not trying...
2023-10-18 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHello all!
The epilogue continues apace. I wrote about the same amount as last week, and I am now past the group part of the Underworld epilogue and into the individual parts that vary with route. These will have more variation than any other part of the epilogue, not unexpectedly, but I'm ...
2023-10-16 02:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostHello, all!
As you may have noticed, Patreon has a new look. My feelings about this are mixed, but the most annoying thing is definitely that all the italics on my previous posts seem to be gone, so that's... a thing that happened. Apologies if you're reading through something and aren't su...
2023-10-09 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
Hermes is up in the questionnaire rotation this month, so here's his take on the latest set of questions. I do think this one is quite influenced by the things I've just been writing, in which Hermes is definitely giving some insight on his own recent character development to ...
2023-10-04 02:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone, and welcome to October! Hard to believe she's here already, but at this point I've given up on feeling 'current' and must accept that things are always here before I'm ready for them, I think.
Anyway, as many of you know, the BIP went out just a couple of days ago, and...
2023-10-02 02:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone!
Here it is, this month's BIP. This one contains Chapter Ten in its entirety, which is now just a little less than 96k. It was more than that, but my e...
