10/17/25: Progress Report 5 (Patreon)

I have news of both kinds for this report.

Firstly, the bad: I will be on a road tour with a choir I am a part of (long story, don't ask) and will have very little time to write in the next week. It should be a great time, but there will be about five or six days where I will likely make no progress. It means I'll probably push back writing another short story until after I get back, and I'll probably release the poll turning my trip.

The good: I have finished all three critical routes! I am now left with exactly 54 "placeholders" across the document of Chapter Two. These placeholders range in seriousness from "write the Obren romance variant" (which may take a full day of work) to "fill in code/math" (which will take a couple minutes).

TLDR: Chapter Two is almost done! I originally wanted to have it out before Halloween, but with how much longer it is than I expected, I'd put a tentative release time of early November. The chapter will have a quick initial look-over by a few trusted individuals, before being released for early access to Patrons. Then a week later, it'll be released publically.

I appreciate all of your patience, and I hope the chapter will live up to expectations :)
