Heya folks

SotF is still moving forward at a decent pace. The changing of the MC's "third leg" will take some more doing so I have halted that for the time being. This means that you will experience graphic mismatch between the different updates as you play through the game. It might take me until 1.0 to get all images changed, but so be it.

Last week turned out to be quite interesting, to say the least. I didn't really get anything meaningful done on SotF as I had a surprise visitor come stay with me from last Tuesday til this morning.

My friend, whom I have told you about, decided to come visit after a fairly intense debate the weekend before last. It was about the comics I had promised to create for her. I had introduced her to VN's and she had played mine and others that I had recommended ... guess what? Now she wants me to create a VN based of off an idea she has. The intense debate was about me giving her a categorically: NO! Alas, the sudden appearance of her at my front door last Tuesday, with a bag and the mind to stay for a few days to talk things over with me.

And talk we did and it was interesting on so many levels. Eventually I ended up showing her the workflow entailed in creating SotF, which shocked her. She hadn't quite realizes what work it entailed. Especially for someone like me who has a some physical issues.

Long story short. We ended up with somewhat of a compromise. I still do the comics, but I will also do a VN based off of a story we brainstormed together. She will do the heavy lifting of creating the story, main plot, sub plots, personal plots, character backgrounds etc. ... meaning most of what comes before the actual story to be played through. I will do the rest.

The good news for SotF is that I will not get myself involved for real in this VN until version 1.5 or later of SotF ... at the earliest. Maybe it is possible to begin development of this shared project at that time, and have some form of overlap as SotF moves into the endgame ... I really don't know.

Come next year I will look into expanding/migrating from this site and set up my own website where my stuff will be hosted. I have to do some more digging into how that might work out for me.

Anyways ... she went home again and now my back is killing me. I have to realize that I'm not used to having someone in my personal space for that amount of time anymore. My mind is a jumble as well, but the physical me is both tired, worn out and oddly satisfied ... go figure, she is in an open relationship.
