Hey Patrons,

First of all sorry for the delay on this going public. My trip home for funeral/Christmas was pretty heavy and while I edited this episode on the road I found it impossible to find a window to properly clear this episode and get episode four ready for early access folks. But there shouldn't be any long gaps between the episodes from now on.

This episode is a 72 minute dive into the world of writing. We cover how the writing team collaborated, the processes the team used to get writing into the game, the writing of dozens of characters and more. This episode also explores some of the cracks within the team that started to emerge around the mid point of development. So plenty to watch!

And hey, if you're an early Access Patron you can watch episode four (Art!) here:https://www.patreon.com/posts/148091116/

We hope you enjoy the episode, let us know what you think in the comments below.

PS: Expect a Patron Show / Big 2026 Update video real soon too.
