Like I mentioned in the writing update, I didn't describe him much physically in book one aside from him having green eyes. So let's design him here :D I'll start with one question today and add a few more as we go along.
Today's question: What color should his hair be?
2025-04-21 01:07:34 +0000 UTC View PostThis week went really well! I focused a lot of that rearranging I mentioned before, in chapter one. Leon's addition really shaped the structure better - I wound up taking Tiane out of the earlier interaction if he's not alive, and bringing her in to fill the role he does. I also trimmed down that overall interaction. I wasn't loving a few pieces...

I'm almost done with the first interaction with Leon. I'm hoping that by Sunday I'll be able to start work on the alternate scene that will appear if Leon didn't survive book 1 in your play...

I'm working on incorporating Leon into a chapter one scene today, and it led me to rearrange and fix like four other things I didn't like. My characters and lore are all playing musical chairs while I reshuffle the whole dang board, but they'll live 😂

I'm curious whether you guys would be interested in steering that new game's direction.

What is Nakon's last name? Heck if I know. Let's go scroll through the over 400k words of the previous game to see if I ever mentioned it, because I can't have people referring to the head of the continent's most famous den by a first name 😂😭
Listen it made me laugh and I want to laugh with you guys 😂

It's been a productive week! I'm officially 200 words ahead of my goal for today, so I'm dropping the update a little earlier in the day before I mosey off to spend a little time with family.
As you may've guessed from the preview posted this week, I'll be introducing some new characters in next month's update. I really like the one I'm wo...

We are moving people and I feel like I've got my writing spark better than ever lol. A carriage is involved.

I really got into the zone with the first item and I'm liking how it's shaping up. Which is good news, since the demo's scheduled to release soon!

2025-03-24 00:41:14 +0000 UTC View PostWithout spoilers, Nakon is held together by exactly three strings tied around them, and one of those strings is so thin it's translucent.
On the bright side, it's great for The Plot (tm) 😂

I'm letting the action hit in chapter 2 I can't stand any more tying up loose threads from book 1. I'll throw the rest in later somehow idk 😂
Currently Leas: City of the Sun has checkpoints around major story moments. What are our thoughts on expanding that to checkpoints at the beginning of every chapter (except chapter one, for obvious reasons)?
