Hi everybody, welcome to February! I don't have much in terms of an update for the game, since I just updated the alpha build a few days ago, but I do have a poll for you!
So Croelle originally had a rapier or at least a long thin sword in the books, for no particularly reason other than th...
2021-02-01 22:51:56 +0000 UTC View PostI hope you enjoyed The Painted Devil and Chandry's Shakespearan tragedy!
Whose story do you want to read next? I promise it probably won't be in play format! And I'm leaving the boys who won for their second round already (Blade, Trouble, Red, Chase) off!

2021-02-01 01:28:54 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone, I come bearing gifts! Here's the alpha preview update for January!
Hi everyone, quick update on where I'm at as January draws to a close!
January was actually kind of a low month for me in terms of productivity: it's the first in a long time where I didn't meet a lot of my goals! I wasn't able to complete other work obligations, and I didn't get as much do...
2021-01-29 18:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone, welcome to the last weekend of the first month of the new year! (Why did I put it like that?!)
Sorry that this Q&A is a few days later than usual: I thought I'd switch it up this month with posting the monthly short story early and the Q&A later! :D

2021-01-29 16:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, so I went ahead and wrote a full Shakespearan play for Chandry's origin story, complete with a SparkNotes guide to read after you get through the play! 😂😂😂 I'm dropping it a bit early in case there are (very likely) questions for the author Q&A in a few days!
It's a bit s...
2021-01-23 03:21:21 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone, I don't have too much to update you on vis-à-vis the game this week! I've been busy preparing for my partner's birthday (I baked him a cake intended to look like the one in Mario 64 and boy was it a labor) and catching up on work after the holiday break and handling miscell...

Hi everyone, it's my partner's birthday today, and that puts me in the mindset of birthdays and gifts! As such, the goody of this month is the Shepherds of Haven gift guide (spoilers ahoy) and a secret birthday calendar I made for the characters, so you can plan which gifts to get ahead of time a...

2021-01-01 22:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostWelcome to 2021! I hope you enjoyed Trouble's (ultimately depressing lol) short story! Whose story should we explore this month?
I'm leaving the boys who previously won (Blade, Trouble, Chase, and Red) off the poll this month to give them a break! 😄

Who should be remade alongside Tallys' card when the time comes? You can see all of the old character cards 2020-12-19 22:00:59 +0000 UTC View Post
Hello there! Remember how Chase was voted to be one of the first character cards to be remade, alongside Blade and Red?
Well, here he is! I admit the process of making this card was quite a lengthy and complex procedure, and I'm not totally happy with his color palette or the fact that the ...
