update 16. (Patreon)

WHAT I DID.

school is done and i have about a month off work so we all know what that means: it's grind time. for twine, i'm currently working away at chapter six and am confident i can finish it by this week so i can do bug fixes and overall touch-ups. this is the cha[ter that i have to edit the least since i wrote it most recently, so it's going much quicker than everything else. 

that being said, i'm officially announcing that the twine build of when twilight strikes will be live for the midnight tier wednesday, april 27; live for the twilight tier friday, april 29; and live publicly wednesday, may 4. i would make it earlier but as always, i'd rather surprise everyone by moving up the date rather than pushing it back, so these are the latest dates you'll get the game unless there's some sort of emergency. i'm unsure whether the codex entries will be in this update or if it'll just go liver with chapter seven, so i guess we'll find out together. if anything, these are super short and most of the lore is taken from what has been said in-game anyway, so it's not a lot to miss out on.

in terms of chapter seven, i've reached them. the holy grail scenes. next week, alongside finishing up the twine build, i will be writing most and hopefully all of the close proximity scenes. i thought i might be able to get to it this week, but i added in a new choice set and gave myself more work than i thought. five choices, twenty-five responses. yay. in real life, i'm focusing on moving houses right now but in between all the chaos i'm sure i'll find time to get past these. i've been raving about the close proximity scenes for months, after all. there's nothing that will stop me from writing those.

after all of that, i finally finish up this branch and move on to the other one that you could have chosen instead. it has a very different vibe so i'm hoping that the change in tone will be a refreshment rather than something that hinders me. like with most things i write, i have a general idea for what i want to do with this scene but none of the details are figured out yet. i will spoil that the choice of whether you brought a weapon into Crimson Rouge comes up here, so that may give you a clue as to what happens. definitely a lighter route than the other one i wrote, but that doesn't mean it's worse by any means. just different.

SNEAK PEEK.

K holds my gaze as they stand up, making their way around the bar and emerging behind the counter. “I don’t have to. Everything always falls into your lap when you’re a hunter.”

"Are you ever going to stop insulting my job?”

“No.”
