Hello again, everyone!
As most of you are aware, the public build of Chapter Three went out this week. In the meantime, I've been working away at Chapter Four, and have added another 9,000 words to it, bringing it to a current total of 17,00...
2025-03-03 02:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostHey all!
I just released Chapter Three, so as you might expect there isn't a whole lot of new content for the BIP, but! If you like Charon I have good news for you—their Chapter Four plot scene is done, as is the one that imm...

Hello, everyone. We've nearly hit the end of the early access cycle for Chapter Three. Everyone on here should be able to see it now, so if you can't, please le...
2025-02-24 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHello, Blossoms!
It's a week before public release, which means it's your turn to get access to the demo. As I mentioned in the last weekly update, this chapter's pretty huge, but it probably doesn't feel that long, since the last scene spli...
2025-02-19 02:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
As some of you are aware, the early access cycle for the new version of the demo, with all of Chapter Three included, began yesterday. That means everyone else will be getting it over the next week and a bit, and the public upd...
2025-02-17 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHello, Full Blooms!
Here, hot off the presses, we have the second demo for Blood of the Living, this one newly including the full Chapter Three. As usual, you get it first, and then it makes its way down the other tiers before public release...
2025-02-16 02:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostHey, everyone!
As I mentioned, this month's bonus content is a bit unique. Some of you already know that I'm slowly cooking up another project behind the scenes, one that I'll be releasing in Twine rather than ChoiceScript. I've been gradual...
2025-02-12 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
Good news to report so far—this week, with an extra 8,000 words, I finished off Pyri's scene, leaving me with just one to go, featuring Hades. I'm hopeful I'll have that one done by this time next week, but if it's not quite ...
2025-02-10 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHey all!
This week, as I mentioned in the last update, was mostly editing and testing for the BIP release, but I did also get 4,000 words in on the Pyri scene, which I expect might be just a little under halfway through. The last scenes of C...
2025-02-03 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
Here's the BIP for this month; the chapter is now sitting at 133,000 words or so (up 38k from last month!), and the final scenes have been completed for Hekate, Alekto, and Charon, so if you're on any of those routes, this is n...
2025-01-31 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone!
Another week, another 11,000 words. I finished the Charon scene, and I might get just a tiny bit of the Pyri one done this week, but that probably won't make it into the BIP. The rest of the time between now and the 31st is g...
2025-01-27 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone!
I managed to squeeze in 11,000 words this week, which was just enough to finish off the Alekto scene. (It brought the chapter to 122,000 words.) This has given me a pretty realistic idea of how long it takes to do one of these, ...
2025-01-20 02:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
I made some quite solid progress this week, getting another 10,000 words down, for a total of 111k in Chapter Three. I've now finished the solo Hekate scene, and gotten a start on Alekto's as well. I'm hoping I'll be able to fi...
2025-01-13 02:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! The last of the 'ROs from another RO's POV' series is here, and we have Pyri from Hermes's. This one is set specifically in the part of FoA between the Chapter Five outing and the Chapter Eight fruit scene, and is best understood as ...
2025-01-08 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
If you haven't gotten it from me already, happy new year!
I spent the partial week getting started on my way through the rest of the chapter 3 scenes. With 6,000 new words, it's now sitting at 101k in total. I'm a good c...
2025-01-06 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone!
The initial plan for this month was to release the BIP with 30,000 new words. I'm pleased to say that I've exceeded that a bit with 37,000 instead, mostly so I could get to the end of the scene I was working on. This amounts ...

We're almost at the end of the year!
As I thought, I spent most of last week relaxing and enjoying my holiday, but I have started doing a little bit of prep work for the final part of this chapter—outlining the scenes ...
2024-12-30 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHello, everyone!
You may remember that I said I was aiming for 6k words last week, to round out the 30 I was aiming to have for the month. Well, I got there, and the non-poly scene with Hermes still wasn't quite finished. So... then I wrote ...
2024-12-23 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
I got another 12,000 words done this week, bringing me to a total of 24k for the month. I'm hoping to wrap up that last 6k this week, so I can have the last week of the month off for the holiday. Right now, I'm done with the po...
2024-12-16 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHello, everyone!
This month's bonus content is the second to last in the current series, wherein one RO (the one whose route the PC is on) is seen from the perspective of another. In this case, we have Alekto, as seen by Pyri.
The ser...
2024-12-11 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHello, all!
This has been a very good week of progress for FoA, with a grand total of 14,000 new words. I'm quite pleased by the speed of this, as it gives me a little leeway to take some holidays off this month while still meeting my wordco...
2024-12-09 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHello, all!
Welcome to December. That never becomes a less-strange sentence, because the end of the year always sneaks up on me. At this time last year, I was getting started on the edits for FoA's complete draft. Little did I know that I ha...
2024-12-02 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHello, everyone!
Today is the last day of the month, and so the Build-in-Progress is here. This month, I managed to write 42,000 new words on Chapter Three, bringing its total word count to 58,000. Everyone should now have a version of the ...
2024-11-30 02:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostHello again, all!
It's been... quite the week.
As it turns out, the surgery I was scheduled to undergo would not have been a good idea, for various medical reasons I won't bore you with. The end result is that I spent... several hours ...
2024-11-25 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone.
If you're reading this around the time it's released, I'm probably having surgery right now. I'm not sure, at the time of this writing, exactly how long my recovery period will be, but I do know I should hopefully still be on t...
2024-11-18 02:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone.
It seems that a small but not negligible number of you are getting early restart errors with the cogdemos version of the BIP. I would advise everyone experiencing this to clear their cache and try again first, but in the event...
2024-11-13 02:47:30 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
Continuing on with the "ROs from other ROs' points of view" theme, this month we have Charon from Alekto's. They're a strange pair in a lot of ways, but I think there's a way they relate that it's hard for anyone else to quite ...
2024-11-13 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
I've been keeping up a pretty blistering writing pace this week, to the tune of about 12,000 words. It's tough to try managing 2k a day, but I know I'm capable of it, as for a while it was sort of the 'going pace' when I was wr...
2024-11-11 02:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
I hope you're all enjoying the start of November. I've got a pretty busy month upcoming, with a visit from my partner's mum followed by a (not major, no need to worry) surgery that will still likely involve a bit of painful rec...
