ShoH Update and Poll (October #1)
Added 2020-10-01 22:22:56 +0000 UTCHi everybody, long time no see! I'm officially back from my vacation and ready to tackle the brand-new month! 💪 It's kind of exciting that it's October--I wish there were Shepherd Halloween costumes to dress up in! 🎃
Lots of things going on for me this month:
- Just eight months left until my novel WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HERE comes out!
- Some very exciting things happening for it, but I can't talk about it yet! :)
- I have been invited to send in a film pitch to a studio partnering with Netflix this month! I can't talk too much about it, and I know nothing about writing film, but it's exciting to be considered nevertheless!
- Lots of elopements and COVID-safe weddings going on in our lives at the moment, including my partner's brother!
- Our family is getting a new puppy in a few weeks!
In terms of ShoH, here's what's going on:
- I'm looking forward to updating the alpha build with more of Chapter 5 and hopefully Chapter 4 this month! Chapter 4 is a stretch goal, but Chapter 5 is not!
- Chase's short story, which reveals most of the reasons why he is the way he is, will be posted at the end of this month, too!
- Three "redone" character cards are in progress with two artists; I've seen the mockups and they look incredible! These are Chase, Red, and Blade's character cards!
- Trouble's character reference sheet's information has been submitted to the artist!
- We are starting to see very exciting mockups for potential ShoH cover art with a final artist!
- A modern!AU college demo of the Shepherds world was posted here!
- Bookmarks are being made to be sent out to Vice-Commanders and up this month!
- Something special is coming on the 10th for Officers and up! Something to do with food... 👀
Finally, I'd love your guys' feedback on picking out yet another name! In certain routes of Chapter 5, the MC may have to face off with a wyvern--a relative of a dragon that walks on two legs, lacks wings, and has venom and paralyzing breath instead of fire! I'm trying to think of a suitably gladiator-like name for such a beast... (did you ever realize how much Blest gladiator fights are like WWE matches?)
What do you think the wyvern should be called?
