Weekly Update for 9.28.20
Added 2020-09-28 16:01:03 +0000 UTCHi all!
It's Monday, and that means it's time for the weekly update!
This week, I finally finished the code skeleton, which means I'm on to properly writing the chapter! This I usually do from start to finish in order, so those of you who will be reading the BIP will likely be getting the first scene of the chapter in a few days, plus some skeleton for the rest. This scene involves the PC finally getting to sit down and have a proper one-on-one chat with Hades, though of course his awkward self plans to use it to make sure the PC knows they have no obligations to him.
I've also just written some stuff in the scene for PCs that stim in particular, in which Hades can pick up on this if they do so in front of him and share that he does too! It's just a little thing, but I really wanted to call attention to the feature in a way that was unequivocally positive—even for those PCs who may have been discouraged from stimming or felt themselves weird for needing to do it.
Anyway, I've gotten 1500 words or so thus far of proper chapter content, and I hope to have at least doubled that before the BIP arrives later this week. After that, the way is largely clear for more writing on the chapter until it's done. No idea how long that's going to take, but I'm very optimistically hoping the October BIP might be all-but-a-bit or even an "early" release of chapter two, with the official release to follow in early November.
We'll see how it goes.
In the meantime, I'm playing a lot of FFXIV, and enjoying a few tabletop campaigns. I live a very boring behind he scenes life, no joke. xD
