News From the Six Realms #90 - Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!) (Patreon)

Hey all,

There was a slight delay in getting the last release out, but it turned out to be a good one. I got my stuff in, which is a minor miracle, and the new writers helped make it a really solid release. Let's get straight to it.

Things are well underway regarding the next release. I'm trying to make the most of my motivation and push forward with finishing the Andras NTR arc. It has undergone some positive changes due to my dissatisfaction with the original idea, and thanks to some discussions with Rein, who provided some excellent suggestions, I've come up with something I'm a lot happier with. The bad news (for me, not you lot) is that it has gone from requiring one event to wrap up before the epilogue to three more, but for those who enjoy this particular storyline, I think you'll be really happy with what is coming. I'm hoping to keep up the momentum and finish another event for the next release.

Moving away from myself to the other writers - DM and Winter are doing the same thing they did last week and collaborating on another Che-Lin event, so hopefully, we'll have another for the July release. Winter is also rolling solo on some Jezera content and a Rowan x Helayna scene and, hopefully, will have those to turn in. Speaking of Helayna, Nyx is busy this release, so may turn in a small Helayna event, but will likely be too busy to do anything. Likewise Hooky is also very busy and unlikely to be able to contribute anything. Rein, however, is continuing his monumental task of making the Battle of Astarte epic and hoping to finish the dominant Rowan version of the Jezera sex scene, so I look forward to more of that.

In terms of the new writers, all of them turned in good events for the last release, showing a decent enough grasp of the way we make the game, so we are onboarding them onto core content straight away to continue the push to finish Act I before I die of old age. Gern is working under Rein to help him finish out the X'zaratl NPC arc, while Roland is helping out on goblins, and whimrho is helping Hooky with fae. They'll all be turning in material relating to these areas for the next release.

In terms of art, Sommy started his 2 CGs (including one I can't wait to see myself from a certain new event) today, and I'll have the sketches for those to share soon. In the meantime, I received the sketches from MDN earlier in the day, and I'll post the first one later today.

That's all for this update. As always, the release will be in the last weekend of the second month following the previous one, which falls on the 28th of July.
