Progress Update Rambling

Added 2024-11-22 07:14:29 +0000 UTC

Hi there!

So, I grossly underestimated the time it takes to code and write a set of scenes that will have this amount of variation. I thought that this wouldn’t be the case until Saturnalia but of course, everyone is already referencing the bath scenes because so much happened there. Quinn is giving their (unsolicited) opinion and the whole RO gang appears to have their say about things. I thought this was going to be another 20k update but I’m already at 25k and I wager there’s still at least a couple of thousand words to go as I code ahead.

That’s on me, of course. I was a sweet summer child, happily coming out of the relatively simply coded bath scenes and eager to continue with the story.

I might be a little frustrated that it’s still not finished BUT I’m also happy about the story, the characters, and the general direction of the story. It’s just on the future me to get better at estimating the amount of work this lump of variables takes to write and code into the scenes. If this was just a Quinn update, I would already be finished. However, since the others barged into the update too, here we are. (Those buggers are to blame!)

But honestly, the amount of RO drama is giving me life so it’s fine.

Since the update after this one will be the beginning of the Saturnalia celebration (I’m skipping the slaver scenes for now to get to the Saturnalia chapter for Christmas), I’m asking for your help. Saturnalia will be a costume party, so if you could give me your suggestions for costume ideas (for Hati or the RO gang), I would be ever grateful.

Also, here’s an old Saturnalia gift questionnaire I put out a good while ago. Filling it out would be helpful, too.

Thank you! Also, thank you so so much for being here and being patient with me as I navigate this relationship drama simulator.
