Update (Patreon)
Content
Chiming in with an update. Life has been very turbulent, but progress on the games has been decent.
Truthfully, I have been dissatisfied with the games and am constantly reworking them. It's a bit of self-destructive perfectionism that is making you all wait far longer than you ever should have had to. One good thing though, is I've been learning a lot of 'real' programming, which has allowed me to implement very powerful development tools that will make Tara vs Thor and AO:C much better overall.
I posted an in-depth explanation of some of these tools on my Life Sim page, and can post it here too if anyone is interested.
After we finally move beyond the remaining games, I definitely want to return focus on writing Linear stories. Those were far easier to organize, and less stressful.
The interactive stories are cool, but are extremely time-consuming, and my aforementioned perfectionist tendencies with them causes disaster.
This isn't to say there will never be any other interactive stories, but those will come as independent releases, or through the Game patreon.
I'm also going to stop creating pledges before releases are finished. It isn't fair for you guys to wait this long when things go south for me personally. After these games are in your hands, I'll be writing the stories far in advance. Then using the extra time to properly edit them, and create e-book covers. (These will use silhouettes and royalty-free images at first; then if we hit a certain patroange goal, I'll commission femmuscle art for them)
I only offer apologies, and simply hope that the end results will be enjoyable.
Thanks for everything thus far,
- Magnus
