Sorry for the slow month, all. I wanted to do this quick write-up to keep you updated. The coding for the Oleander chapter is 95% done. I just need to add some finishing touches after my editor is done with it. 

As some of you know, my next project is a proper sequel to Magical Mishaps. Writing a continuation of the story involves some significant challenges.

The elephant in the room is that the six epilogue chapter endings do not have a unified  canonical ending to use as a springboard into the next story. Throwing out the events of the epilogue also throws out most of the critical character development of the girls, which is essential moving forward.

Now that the characters are well-established, involving them in a plot that uses their personalities and strengths is a natural first step. I think there’s a lot of room to build out their relationships with each other (while still keeping the main character in the picture, of course)!

I’d also like to build out the setting more. To accomplish this, I’d like to develop the other classes at the school to make it feel less like “going to Oleander’s general studies class every day.”

Does Katlyn, the antagonist in the first game, fit in? Do the pygmy goblins come back? If I introduce new characters, shouldn’t they be important moving forward?

This stage of the writing process is delicate. Writing a “Chapter One” needs to set up the story's foundation, but you also need to know where the story is going to set up payoffs for later. I’m not writing all of the chapters at once in their entirety, but I need to know where it’s going, which makes this task considerably harder than writing the epilogues.

Figuring out a strong direction that progresses some overarching plot and maneuvers around these points has been tormenting me lately. I don’t have all the answers right now, but what I have been working on is shaping up and will soon be in a workable state for wips.

TLDR: Sorry for the lack of drawings. Lots of coding and writing is happening. Thanks for sticking with me.

Would you happen to be looking for writing assistance?

Thanks for the status update. I look forward to seeing what you come up with and how you integrate the epilogues. It was my assumption you'd choose a main path and go down that one, learning you're going for something more intricate is delightful.

Even if all the epilogue chapters aren't considered canonical to the main story line, I think they could be treated like a series of "what-if" style events that still have value by representing their personalities and how they would react given those circumstances. I don't think it would invalidate them as character development if they were considered non-canon and the sequel was built off its own timeline that doesn't directly include all the various epilogue events.

You might actually have something to work with given the multiple endings. In danger of the story going up its own ass, you can have a plot revolving around a curse put specifically on him where he experiences multiple fates all at once, constantly jumping between different realities where he’s dating or not dating every girl and trying to keep track of everything while constantly being put in risky/lethal situations in each of them. The goal being to unify the timelines and get back to normal, but which one is real? More importantly, which reality/girl do you want to end up with despite the perils they’ve put you through?

I appreciate the offer, but I’m not looking for writing assistance at the moment. It’s just one of those things I need buckle down and work out.

Without giving away any spoilers, I had something similar to this in mind to kick the plot off. I had a lot of ideas for making all the epilogues pseudo cannon but making it happen without feeling too contrived is the tricky part. In any case, I'm making good progress figuring it out.

Would it be possible to just have a choice at the start of the game where the player tells the game who they chose in the epilogues? Perhaps adding in a special scene for said girl and possible minor dialogue changes or nothing at all. Might be minimal, but at least the players choice would be “canon”. Just a thought and honestly I’m excited wherever this goes.

Maybe you can ignore the epilogues as canon events ? For new characters and stories it could indeed be fun to discover new teachers and classes, maybe throwing in a foreign student of some kind (tiny or big) ? It can help to reintroduce some concepts, with the main character explaining things to the new one :) Anyway, I know how hard it is to write a proper sequel, take all the time you need to be proud of your work !
