Howdy, folks!
Around the time that I make my peace with being entirely arbitrary with these updates is most likely going to be when I start having an actual schedule, I’m sure. Anyway. It’s been a roll-with-the-punches kind of year and there have been many… many punches. Time for updates!
What am I working on?
The Dawnbreakers’ Saga – Will always be at the top of the list. Still going strong, and we’ve just started the Civil War arc. With any luck it’ll be a good balance of gameplay and scripted videos; while I don’t have a problem with either and quite enjoy writing out scripts, gathering footage for scripted scenes and editing it all together takes a lot of time. It’s good to be back in the “More Gameplay” zone though.
Urien: The Dragon of Norwood – Still in pre-production. I got stuck on the script about a third of the way through (so, chapter 11/29-ish) and have taken time off from writing to A) build out the world a little more (dangerous business, I realize) and B) work on assets like character sheets and landscape noodles. The only unfortunate part of having a new world to play around in is that I want to explore all of it. 😀 This has been my consistent “Back-Burner Project” so while progress is slow, it’s because I’ve been working on it between other things. I may have an adjacent project in the works something along the lines of another YouTube channel but specifically for worldbuilding.
Salt – The Great Collaboration Novel is back in my dad’s hands, after copious reworking of Sukhetai’s bits. With any luck the first chapter works better and starts his character off on the right foot – or at least a decent foot – so that his weirdness throughout makes a little more sense. We’ll see! Next phase: Dad’s going to send the book to an editor, and I’m going to finish the cover design. Tentative (very tentative) release date may be some time in February.
Other things I’ve been doing between last post and now include getting better at guitar, working on Black Marsh (very slowly), and making music. I can’t actually remember when I added the Music tab to my site but it’s there now!
And with that, I’ll go become a local cryptid once again. Stay safe and have a good one.
