I will let you in on a secret: when I was younger, I liked to write novelizations. No idea why. But I liked writing them for my favorite movies and tv show episodes and would share them with my friends and family (cute or cringe? You decide!). As I got older I stopped, but there was still a tiny part of me that missed writing them.
So now that I am an adult and can make my own life choices, I have decided to novelize Clash. And it will be released as DLC, right here on Steam*!
*also on itch.io, but we're not here to talk about itch.io, we're here to talk about Steam.
The book is going to follow the plot of the game, but with some specific choices (like perpetrator, dealing with Jasper, and the name/gender of the player character). If they aren't the choices you made, that is okay; this novelization isn't necessarily THE route. It will have both the main game and the bonus story, as well as some interludes from Clash's past.
Now, I am taking my time with this. I'm actually writing out the first draft by hand, which will then be transferred to a word document for editing (I learned long ago to do writing projects this way; this way, there's a hard copy to refer to if the digital is lost...and plus its just plain fun to write out stories the old-fashioned way). Then its editing, editing, editing.
So I honestly have no idea how long the process will take or when the ebook will be available.
Just that it WILL be available at some point. I'm bound and determined to make it so. So stay tuned!
(And yes, Clash: Blue Mirage is still being made. Demo should be here mid-to-late February, depending on how early I can launch the game page once I've got it designed.)
