October 2 Update (Patreon)

Double release weekend: Genre-Savvy Apocalypse as well as a new version of Once Ever After. Barring some surprise problem cropping up, the OEA update will be going out to Steam soon, then it will leave Early Access. Can I slip a TLS update in there? Dunno, no promises.

One of the experiments I wanted to do with GSA was to see how much of an impact mentioning it on Patreon would have. This experiment was thoroughly ruined by the story hitting Rising Stars the day before that announcement. So who the heck knows.

However! I'm grateful to those who have boosted the story. If anyone has interest in web fiction, especially if you're a user of RoyalRoad, and wants to support my work, would you message me with your email address? I won't be doing anything more on this for a good while, but in the future I'd like to take a shot with a more precisely crafted project and I'll take the algorithm more seriously then.

On that note... the different ways that people treat sex and violence have been so frequently mentioned that it's a bit old hat, but this is a particularly egregious example. People who think a story is too soft because the protagonist doesn't sociopathically murder people are turned off because a married couple has sex. -_- There are many legitimate reasons why people with no hang-ups about sex might not want it in a piece of fiction but I am not inclined to be charitable here. One day I will reach a level of success where no one can stop me from writing cuddly zombie sex. T-T

Anyway, this has been your weekly update, with bonus rambling. Hopefully this week will be quiet so that I can shift gears and get a lot done on new work.
