Monthly Update - June 2025

June has been quite a fun month. It kept me busy every week, starting with the release of Chapter 6 on Itch.io! The leviathan twist wasn’t planned, but I’m really glad it came to me and that I was able to include it 😄

Now I’m fully focused on Chapter 7. Though, based on the summary, it might end up being split into two. In fact, I’ve got the perfect moment to do that, but I’m still unsure because Chapter 8 might end up too short if I do split them. Right now, I’m about halfway through the first part, so I’ll decide once I get there. Either way, this won’t affect you at all, since I’ll publish it all at once, either as just Chapter 7 or as Chapters 7 and 8 😄

I’m really looking forward to continuing the writing and finally releasing it. Right after this is the last chapter of the Act, and I’ve had those final scenes with the ROs in my head for so long that I just want to get them down on paper already! I’ll just say that we’re finally entering the more 'romantic' stage of each route, so to speak. It’s time to move past the confusion and early stages of romance into something more real. Though some will definitely struggle to let go of that emotional push and pull… 🤐

Now that we’re so close to the end, I’ve been thinking about and reviewing my notes for Act 3, and an idea came to me that I think will be really cool and add some variety compared to the first two Acts. It’s a twist I hadn’t planned, and I’ll need to adapt some things for it, but it will definitely be worth it! A small hint: the colour of the next Act is green.

And last for Itch.io, I’m still working on editing Act 1. Chapter 1 is now fully done, which I think is the hardest one to edit since it involves the same situation told from different points of view, but it turned out great! I also added several new dialogue options 😄 I’m currently halfway through Chapter 2. I hope to have it fully done by the end of July and, with a bit of luck, maybe even finish Chapter 3! 😁

Now, something important about Patreon. There's a tier specifically for buying the game, which I created as an alternative for those who couldn’t (or didn’t want to) pay through Itch.io. However, I didn’t consider that if someone new finds the game later it would be unfair to others, since that tier unlocks a post where I planned to share the links for each Act. Meaning that if I’m already on Act 4 and someone subscribes to that tier, they’d get four Acts for the price of one. Due to this, I’ve been looking for a solution and decided to dust off the old Ko-Fi I haven’t touched in years, and I’ll offer the option to buy the Acts there.

You can access my Ko-Fi from here 😄

What will happen to the current Patreon tier? I was actually going to delete it, but thanks to a few questions I got on Tumblr, I realized I could add a guide with all the decisions and their consequences for those who want to see how each option affects the MC and the story in general. The guide will be available once I finish editing Act 1, so for now, nothing will change.

And by the way, remember the summer poll? Leire/Luca's illustration is already available for those with the God tier and up. And in August, it’ll be Rayco/Gara’s turn. I hope you enjoy them 😉

Have a great month, and see you at the end of July 😉
