And now the time has come...

Everyone ready for a difficult post?

At my current rate I don’t see myself reasonably finishing this tome within the next decade. Or two.

I have many, many excuses, but it comes down to time, technical effort and time.

My life has moved on since I first started this. Some bad and lots of recent good.
'Spare' time is precious, but I still believed I could commit to a few hours per week and chip away at the chapters, however I’ve run into serious technical issues with HS.
If the PC tower wasn’t under the desk it would’ve been bounced off of a few walls by now (it has been kicked. Several times).

It’s fair to say that I’m also fatigued with this hanging over me and it’s sometimes difficult to sit down and work on it. But that’s just defeatist talk.

Soooo... What to do?

The story is written (but I do finesse it and manage the choices as I work on each chapter).
Creating the images is the bottleneck.

So here’s the plan…

Next few months:
I’m going to release the next chapter (6), complete with all the expected images and ‘animation’.

A while after that:
I’ll release the entire game, but from chapter 7 onwards it’ll be using simple images for key scenes.
The intention would be to stop producing multiple images and animation.

I’ll also provide HS character cards for anyone who wants to pick this up and properly finish what I couldn’t.

I haven’t figured out the details, but it’s not a great compromise to a situation I’ve created.

Sorry this isn't better news and I want to thank you for your support throughout this. Seriously. Thanks.
