A sneaky Honor Bound Chapters 4-7 update (Patreon)
Content
Hello all, I hope you're having a good week! I have been deep in a combination of busy writing, a heatwave, and some unpleasantly dramatic insomnia, so didn't end up doing a news update last Friday - but I have been doing a lot of edits on Chapters 4-7, and thought I'd share it here before the public update goes up on the 2nd.
Here's the most up-to-date early access demo! It's now around 306,000 words long.
You will probably need to restart or skip to a chapter rather than reloading a saved game with this one, as I've added a bunch of variables which won't play well with an older save.
Almost all these edits are in response to various old and new player feedback - thank you as always for all the comments you send, it's really helpful for helping polish up the game and make it better!
I hope you have a great rest of the week, and that it's not too hot where you are.
