TVR development update 2026-2 (Patreon)

Let me just get this out of the way first: this is one of those "update: no update" posts. Still hope you'll bear with me though, 'cause there is stuff to talk about.Getting store validation for The Velan Reach is a slow and painstaking process. Fun side fact, I only recently learned that that means "pains-taking", not "pain-staking", which makes an embarrassingly amount of sense. Things are moving forward, but the back-and-forth is slow. It's just the nature of the beast I guess.In the mean time, I've made the most use of the down time to prep everything I possibly can, and I've started work on Light of my Life chapter 10 as you'll see when the weekly progress infographic updates later today. So time is passing, but it's not being wasted.I'm going to open up the beta participation poll for The Velan Reach chapter 1 next, but the exact time it starts will depend on the validation process. Naturally, my preference is sooner rather than later.As always, I'd love your help with playtesting, but don't tier up over this, it'll be out soon after, and then you'll get the "good" version and not the bug-ridden/typo-filled one. If you do participate: thank you, you're the best.
