115 - Writer Quest Complete. (Patreon)

History has been made yesterday. My Monday Post did not get posted on Monday! This is the end of things how we know them. Our society will never be the same.

Verify your device. So yesterday when I was trying to login to my Patreon account I got greeted with this lovely message:

And that was the end of it ^_^ No matter how many hours I waited or how many times I tried my inbox remained empty. I contacted Patreon tech support but naturally it took them a while to get back to me. Here was their reply by the way:

"You or your email provider may have at one point marked our emails as spam and because of this your email was placed on the no-send list. Not to worry though, I've since gone ahead and removed your email from this list so you should start to receive our device verification emails when you attempt to sign in moving forward."

The end. After that I received the link and all went smoothly. The interesting thing is that I also received a "You got a new patron" notification and realized that I didn't see those in months. So I guess my emali was blocked for a while now and it only came up when I got that "verify your device" prompt. Well in any case, now you know exactly why the post went live one day later than it should have. But all is well that ends well, right? Moving on.

The writers quest. I think it is time to wrap this thing up for now. If you are late to the party you can still throw your hat into the ring, no problem (akaburfake2@yahoo.com), but I think I managed to find a few guys that I want to try and work with, so we will see what will all this lead to.

About episode 10. Usually I like to surprise people, so I don't like spoilers. But at the same time sharing at least some info can be fun and could make the wait more bearable I think. So here is the info: in Episode 10 you will be revisiting Agrabah 6 month after the events of the Princess Trainer. You will get to visit (and actually see) some of the locations, such as The Blue Bull tavern for example. You will also meet a lot of familiar faces and see how their life turned out.

Work Work. This is all nice and dandy of course, but bringing so many "new" characters into SC34 meant a lot of extra work on retouching old character sprites. (Seriously that stuff took surprisingly big amount of time). Also reintroducing all the "new" characters also took time. I did try to keep a good balance between compromising on some things to insure a timely release and making sure that said compromising does not include anything truly important.

Soon? All writing is done. All art assets are ready. Currently I continue to assemble the scenes. This will take a while, but episode is finally taking shape. ^^

And that's it. I need to get back to work now. Thank you for your support. Love you all. -_-
