Episode 3 progress report #4: The doing-my-best edition!
Hello people! Time for another update.Episode 3 is still in progress, but I’ve been in a weird headspace that’s really slowed me down. I’m sitting down to write every day, but getting much less done than I’d like—sorry about that. Because of this, I’ll be pushing the release back by about two weeks.The good news is that this episode will shine a spotlight on some of the characters that came out on top in the polls I ran a while ago, so if you voted, thank you! I think you’ll be happy with what’s coming.As a small gesture in the ...
Episode 3 progress report #3: Back from the dead & release date window
I apologize, it's been much too long since my last progress report. Here's the gist of it: I had an elective surgery, I thought I could work through the recovery, turns out I really couldn't. I should have communicated better, so I'm sorry for that. I'm mostly back to normal now, and I'll be communicating better from now on. I'm making this update available to free subscribers exceptionally for transparency.I'm aiming to release Episode 3 before the end of August for paying subscribers. Next update will be back t...
Episode 3 progress report #2: Sneak peak at new feature
With just a bit of delay, here comes the second progress report for Episode 3. I’m happy to share that writing is well underway—right now, the script sits at around 8,000 words, corresponding to 4 distinct scenes. For context, previous episodes landed between 20,000 and 23,000 words, so we’re making solid progress! I'm not yet ready to announce a release date, but I want to have a release window for you in the next progress update. I can at least say that I'm making headway at a pace that is much much higher than when I was workin...

Favorite primary character
Hello! How's everyone? We have a bunch of followers already, it's so great to see! Episode 3 is already underway, but I want to start getting people involved in shaping the story. For now, I'm starting with 2 (non-binding 😁) polls!This one is open to all subscribers. I would like to know which of the main characters you like the most! Caveats:I'm adding Elena here because the plan has always been to have her become closer to the main cast, mirroring Cordelia's arc in Buffy. I have plans for how to use each of these and I&...

The details will be revealed in due time, but this will affect ima...
