As some of you might have come across in the library, there is a Journal chronicling the life of an Ooze Wizard by the name of Joseph de Steel and his journey toward becoming Josephine de Steel. It is largely there for world building and perhaps a cautionary tale on what could happen to Phaera if she isn't careful. While the journal is spread out over an indeterminate amount of time, it still conveys generally what I wanted from it in the first place.

Which brings us to the now. I'm still working on getting the next release out, but part of me wants to return to writing and fleshing out the Ooze Wizard Journal to become more in depth and follow Joseph(ine)'s struggles from her initial transformation until the end of her story. I was pondering ways of releasing this journal and I was thinking that perhaps I could make it an additional part of the Patreon and eventually compile it into a full story as I add journal entries at a regular clip. That is not to say that I would stop working on the game, it would be more or less a companion piece that I could work on during the week on my lunch breaks for work.

I wanted to see what people thought, so I think I'll set up a poll to see if this is something that people are interested in seeing come to fruition, what capacity it should be released in, or if I should just stop procrastinating and release the next version of the game. This poll should run through August 12, 2022, 12:30 PM.

I voted for option 3, but if it's not too much more work maybe a mix of 2 and 3 is possible? When you finish an entry release the text here on patreon for those of us interested, but for those who would prefer to keep read it in game as a cool bit of worldbuilding also put it there.

That could be something that I could arrange. The idea was not to have an either or situation but to ask how the patrons thought the journal should be released initially. Unless they wanted it gone completely, it was always going to be a part of the game in some way. Now, explaining why the journal was in the library in the first place is something else I'll need to figure out at a later point in time.

Maybe she could of lost it during the end of her own temptation, and someone found it and thought it was great material and sold it to the library after they were done with it!... just ignore the stains on the cover.
