Chapter 15.1 Status Report (1) (Patreon)

This post marks the start of the weekly status updates for Chapter 15. Even though this is the first one, I’ve already been working on it for a few weeks, and I’ve completed the artwork for two of the main scenes in this part of the chapter. As you already know, we’re returning to Ian’s point of view, and I’m also working on the script. I’ve written about 3,000 lines so far. I don’t have an estimate for how many will be needed, but I’m hoping it will be fewer than in the latest updates (14.2.3 required nearly 30,000).

I think the structure for this one is clearer and more straightforward, and although the nuances and complexities of the writing are still there, I hope to handle it more quickly by applying the ideas I outlined in my dev diary and focusing on moving the plot forward.

I will also make a post with the results of the popularity contest shortly, but my focus has been on advancing development, and my plan is to continue to do so. I'll keep you posted, and might publish some sneak peek for higher-tier patrons. What do you think?
