Progress Report
New progress tracker!
I'm currently writing. I've been writing for a few months as I've been working on other things. I'm mainly a writer and I just do it all the time. The stats on the tracker will shift as I hit different stages of production.
Word count is a permanent feature, along with art, animation, and coding. When those steps get more focus, they'll take up more space on the tracker and get subcategories to better communicate the work being done.
Writing I find I like to do things that satisfy me. There are a lot of stories that will leave a gap after a cliff hanger. It is interesting to piece things together and in some sense skip drama. I have nothing against that, depending on genre focus. I feel a little cheated when I expect a conversation and I only get a status-quo puzzle.
Chapter four was all Cindy. Chapter 3 was Selena's chapter and we learned a lot about Beatrice, too. Then chapter two was Tulip and what she's set up in the world.
Chapter 5 will shift focus in a predictable way.
Scenes
This is a loose count of scenes. I have one big "last time on" scene that I'm excited about. I forgot about some of the scenes that I wrote already when I went over my handy outline.
Art
I have scenes planned out and I've started making the new locations and character outfits.
That's this month's Progress Report.
I do backer rewards and my progress report on the third Wednesday of each month. Backer rewards will be going up later today on Patreon and Subscribestar. Rewards like this!
