Added 2025-03-24 03:47:59 +0000 UTCLast update, Sette and Duane's reconciliation lured a massive swarm of good-natured squishes from the khert, just as Duane's plumb line pulled taut, returning our heroes to the living world. Are they in time for this crowd of good vibes to defeat the First Silver monster and the memories of pain that have driven it half-way across the world? Or is it too late!
This is our last scene of the chapter, though it moves around a bit. Buckle up.
I've spent the last week editing the earliest chapters for new print books, and looking at all that old art and then comparing it to the newest is - I must say - rather gratifying :) We've been doing this for a long time, haven't we, guys?

Your art has been stoopendous the whole time. 💗

2025-03-24 19:09:10 +0000 UTCI think I misread “last scene” as “last page”, I thought you meant this was going to be a cliffhanger. /bashfully amused

2025-03-24 19:08:04 +0000 UTCWe know that Jivvi et al are outside of the barrier whereas Chea et al are inside, and that the Squishes are all outside, so the remaining question for how this plays out is whether or not the Squishes can get through the barrier (unlikely) (I guess the barrier could also just be dropped). The separation of Squishes and the silver skeleton could serve as a cause for why the silver will still be active and an unmitigated threat in the next book. However, it also opens the possibility that the Squishes are unable to reach Chea, therefore her fate is all-in-all unknown. (The Discord is mostly in agreement that we think she'll be saved for narrative purposes, why make Toma lose his fatherhood now when absentee parenthood is part of the core themes?). I will note that the silver's sillhoutte more closely looks like Lady I and can possible act as what we saw in one of those yet-to-be-explained visions of the future (the intact First Soul, how the memory was found without a source). That'd mean Sette will manhandle some more silver, I'll probably double back to try and reclarify the specifics. Words. (Also, I really like how the khert fire plays off of the eels.)

2025-03-24 15:45:50 +0000 UTCI think this will be the definitive edition. I've been working to fix that problem of some text balloons slipping down into the spine and being hard to read. I think I got it!

2025-03-24 15:45:26 +0000 UTCNew print books means new excuse to get new sets. (One for keeping mint and one for reading again and again.) Looking forward to experiencing the whole story again in book form

Luuuuuuu

2025-03-24 07:48:15 +0000 UTCThere's no way you're going to kill off a child character seconds before the kindness ghost army come in.

2025-03-24 07:31:19 +0000 UTCI know you mean "custodial" as in parental responsibility, but for a second I thought you mean "custodial" like cleaning and taking out the trash-- and you were calling Chea trash :0

2025-03-24 05:31:45 +0000 UTCQuigley has been dealing with death flags so long, I think he's condemned to live

2025-03-24 04:40:16 +0000 UTCYes, but that takes place a few weeks after today.
Ashley
2025-03-24 04:23:08 +0000 UTCThat side I'm...less certain of...but I made my bet already and I'll stick to it!

2025-03-24 04:19:35 +0000 UTCOh damn. With all his secrets out Quig’s narrative utility might be shot… 4 to 5 odds on the Plat biting it!
JarJar
2025-03-24 04:17:15 +0000 UTCSo after this is the epilogue, yes?

2025-03-24 04:03:21 +0000 UTCSame! Its been such a constant thing to look forward to for so many years.

2025-03-24 04:01:17 +0000 UTCIt's been a long, strange trip! Squish army, this is your cue!
GracieV
2025-03-24 03:56:27 +0000 UTCAh, but do you reckon they'll make it to the Quigleys in time?
Ashley
2025-03-24 03:55:56 +0000 UTCNo D< Toma says No!
Ashley
2025-03-24 03:55:32 +0000 UTCI feel like that screaming white cat meme-- NOOOO CHEAAAAA!!!! Oh I'm so excited for those new print books, I am so ready
Madison
2025-03-24 03:55:21 +0000 UTCWelp, that solves the custodial issues.
Luuuuuuu
2025-03-24 03:54:47 +0000 UTCI've gotten used to using Unsounded as a way to measure time. Oh there's an update, so it must be Monday. Oh it's been a hiatus and a chapter since I saw that cousin.
JarJar
2025-03-24 03:53:42 +0000 UTCGoing back to Chapter 1 to find Sette definitely put into perspective how much your art has evolved, Ashley. Here's hoping for years more to come of the world of Unsounded and it's characters! Also, placing my bet now that the Squish army makes it in time.
