This was a really scattered week. I'll just give each item its own paragraph, I suppose.

Artwork for TLS moves forward, and I just gave $10 backers a look at the first three finished scenes. CGs will keep coming out until the first chapter is ready, then we'll have an art update, but I'll be showing all patrons previews until then. Starting with the Aka scene above, which should be immediately recognizable. ^-^

I find myself wondering about setting up a Discord again simply because I get a new person messaging me about it every 1-2 weeks or so. It's not really a priority to me, but sometimes I wonder if it wouldn't be easier to just make one and find a volunteer mod.

There are a couple more novels potentially ready for beta reading, but I don't know if I'll be putting them out here yet or not. My work on those is completely done for the time being, so they're not taking up any time.

Though Street Cultivation could theoretically have come out this weekend, I've pushed it back maybe a couple weeks. This is because I've been talking with someone who's quite successful in the genre (they've hit top 100 on Amazon) and they advised some changes to presentation. Since a book's cover is more important than the book itself, I'm taking their advice seriously.

This is one of those weeks where I did okay, but know I could have been more productive. I did an adequate amount, just not enough if I want both TLS 0.45.0 and Street Cultivation 2 in finished state ASAP. But I'm making progress, so hopefully I can report solid work next week.

Not all results of work are solid. Exercising soft skill can still be hard labor. (Yes, I just wanted this Konfuzius-esque quote off my chest.)

Eventually you will succumb to the will of the Discord users, and I will have a new domain to petition for Ouroboros 2: Back to Reality. It is inevitable. It is your destiny.....

I don't really see the need for a discord as the Speculation thread on the wiki usually handles most other talk. So maybe try adding a public post endorsing it? I realize the blog already has a link on the side for the wiki but as a representative of the internet I can tell you finding things that are not directly shoved into my face is not a strong suit.

I do try to send people to the wiki whenever they ask, but I think the issue is simply that people are more likely to keep using the platforms they already use.

Captain Hair

To that, I argue, what about Sierra's other games? Ouroboros, Crimson Grey, Desecration of Wings? Discussion of Sierra's novels? As for the speculation thread, I honestly found it more cumbersome than Discord.

LOVE the artwork!!!! Keep up the great work!! : )

I meant to say that there's already an IRC channel existing (which I haven't frequented in way too long), but I guess IRC isn't hip anymore nowadays. FWIW, I find Discord annoying and don't use it. Same for Facebook though; I'm only 36, but for marketing statistics matters, consider me to be in the 65+ group I guess. Which probably means my mind is too rickety for Street Cultivation as well, but any news on TBS? (:

Re: TBS - The rewrite has been done for a long time, but I'm sitting on it until toward the end of the year, when I will hopefully have a stronger platform to launch it.

onepot

That sounds like it should hopefully arrive in time for christmas sales. So thanks, already two down! ^^

Leveler All

is this the art that wil be use officialy for the game or are tests? i already got a good visual of the scene the first time i got it tough this helps a lot too.

Progress is progress. Rome wasn't built in a day and all that. Keep your head up!

Will you do an update post on the status of the game, and the size of Chapter 5? I am curious to hear how large it will be, concidering each new chapter has been larger in size than the previous (when counting how many updates they spanned)

DankPotatoes

For the curious: Chapter 1: (0.1-0.5)= 5 updates Chapter 2: (0.6-0.17)= 12 updates Chapter 3: (0.18-0.30)= 13 updates Chapter 4: (0.31-0.45)= 15 updates

sierralee

I don't know that I'll do an entire update post, since the situation hasn't massively changed from the previous roadmap. Originally I thought that Chapter 3 would be longest by a small amount, but Chapter 4 (and likely Chapter 5) will be a bit longer than expected. Don't expect the last chapter to be absurdly long (as in the size of several previous chapters). But it does need to cover a section of plot and a bunch of optional endgame content.

leofiniarel

I am not playing anymore since a little after the art work was announced. I will start playing the game again, from the start, when the first chapter has the art update I think. So far the art previews are great

sierralee

Glad you're enjoying them! Though choosing how much to play current content is entirely up to you, I'll caution that the art isn't going to catch up to the game immediately or anything. It'll be an ongoing process.
