Zombie Exodus: Part 3 Poll (Patreon)

I have recently been in contact with Hosted Games about the publishing schedule for 2021. Based on that conversation, I can see a few options for how to complete Part 3. 

1. I can complete chapters 11 and 12 by the end of February, test for a month, and then send the files for editing and publication. Based on estimates that will take two months. That means Part 3 will be released in June at the earliest.

2. I can complete chapter 11 and only include the trip to the Silverthorne Militia camp in chapter 12. This will cut out a planned trip to the River Dog's base in chapter 12. I can finish by February, and the game can be released by April at the earliest.

3. I can complete chapter 11 and end Part 3. That means I would be able to submit files to Hosted Games by the end of January and the game can be released in March at the earliest.

As I keep stressing, these are estimates and some of the work is out of my control. I feel there needs to be some interaction with the Silverthornes in Part 3. However this part is already at 400,000 words, which is even larger than Part 2.

I am open to comments and opinions. Please realize the results of this poll will only help me to make a decision. As the primary writer, ultimately I need to decide how to proceed, but I would like to hear feedback from my patrons who have supported me as I wrote Part 3.
