Dev Update - Chapter Three


Hey everyone,

It's been a week since I officially launched the game. And I felt somewhat validated when seeing people play it. The numbers on itch after a week were 1500+ browser plays and 200+ downloads (that's the only site I can get accurate numbers from). I expected 50-100 people to play it in the first week, or that was my goal. After seeing the above numbers, I pinched myself to make sure they were real.

That said, you guys didn't start reading this post to hear the numbers; you want to know where I am with Chapter Three. Well, so about that... Just kidding. I have finished one path and currently finishing the second. I have written over 5K words and edited the images as I write. There is much more writing and editing to do, and I will have to proofread and do revisions after finishing it. The same process applies to the images.

I wanted to address the topic of how big the update will be. I know I am writing a CYOA and not a novel, but I want to keep the chapter lengths similar to a novel. So the word count for each chapter will be between 10-20k words, it definitely could get longer, but that is the ballpark number I can give you. I also want to provide content in every chapter for your chosen path, but it may not be equally divided among them.

Lastly, I can't give you the exact release date as it is too early in the Chapter Three development process. Although, I can tell it will be in the coming weeks. Thank you again for playing the game, and I hope you enjoy it. 

XOXO
