Greetings loved ones! Welcome to my first official Patreon post (!!!!!), which feels twenty times more terrifying to type than it probably should.
To start off, I want to thank you guys for all the unreal amounts of support I've received since launching this project; it's been a bit of a pipe-dream from day one, and with such a far-out concept I was really uncertain if it would actually click with people. The response has been amazing, and I hope you all know that I read every message, comment, review, absolutely everything! All of your feedback is much appreciated & very much being taken to heart 💕
Second, let's make a roadmap.
Timeline ahoy!
For those of you who follow me on Tumblr, you've probably (maybe) seen my recent post about my arm. For those of you who don't, a quick review: I was planning to have chapter 1 part 2 up by the end of this week, but I got a wee baby hairline fracture in my elbow in a way that's too embarrassing to describe, so typing is...not easy.
That being said, I expect to have the remainder of chapter 1 up for Patrons by the middle/end of next week at the absolute latest! It's almost finished, but some polishing is still needed to have it up to the standard I want it to be. I'd rather put out a superior product a little bit late than rush something and have it not be up to par, but at the same time I don't want to break any promises.
The rest of chapter 1 is going to contain the port scene, where you can talk to an old man (yay?), and meet a certain tall(ish) goth stranger who's...not particularly happy to meet you.
Then you get to pick up some coffee for Katla (exciting, I know) and catch up on some interesting local gossip while you do, before heading to your big shift at Black Thunder! Brownie points to anyone who's figured out why the bar is named what it is; I'll reveal the answer in the next update post 😉
I'm also going to be launching the first few Patron-only polls, with a few questions about what more you'd like for these tiers to include, a poll for which character Q&A you'd like to see first, and one to decide who the first sidefic should be about! It'll be between all of the RO's minus Mare, & a poll to then settle on a theme will come once the character is chosen.
SO! Dates in review:
Today: Patreon & all the good stuff goes live! Awoooo!
August 03: demo sneak peek #1 featuring a sarcastic MC and an unimpressed (?) Modi.
August 09: Patreon-only launch of Chapter 1 part 2! subject to move up or back a few days, but not by much.
August 11: character Q&A!Â
August 15: Â first side story - but let the record state that keeping it PG-13 for this one, friends.
August 19: (or whatever's 10 days post-Patreon date) Public launch of demo Chapter 1 part 2!
Did you get all that? I hope you got all that. As always, thank you again for the support. In the wise words of the Wildcats, we're all in this together 💕 I really couldn't do it without you guys.
And now, if you've made it this far, I pose a question for next week's dev post:
Puppy pic #1, or #2?
