Upcoming Chapters 11-30 Update

Hello, everyone!  Been a few weeks since the last update.  Thought I'd pop on by and talk about what I've been up to.

Over the course of the past few weeks, I've been working on edits for Chapters 11-30.  As I mentioned in the past, these chapters have been written for years with only some minor edits beforehand.  I actually stopped right at 31 because I burnt myself out at the time.  Whoops...

I feel pretty confident with what I've been tinkering with, and outside of a few smaller edits to help it flow better, as well as clean up a few character quirks, it's looking like I'm about 95% done with the edits on those chapters.  Though remember, this is a story that gets incremental updates, so those edits and story beats can change depending on how things go with the new material.

Speaking of new material:  I haven't got around to starting on 31 yet.  I technically do have it written, but I might go back and condense it since 31-40 starts really expanding narratively outward.  I don't want to start integrating 11-20 until 31-40 at least have a draft written.  This keeps me on my toes and allows me to have future material already prepared.  But before I even start on all of that, I need to clean up my story outline.  The whole story itself is swimming in characters and I need to make sure they connect and have their story lines dealt with.

Finally, before I even integrate 11 and beyond, I want to go back and play with the engine.  There's definitely more little visual flares and effects I want to add in (especially for 15 and beyond), and it just means I need to go back and redo some coding here and there.  As for converting it to the new version of Renpy?  Eh... we'll see.  Personally, I might make the second part using it and just leave 1-30 (part one) as is.

As for new character artwork - I continue to use a multitude of artists, even if they clash.  I want their work to shine through and help expose a new audience to them.  Still, don't expect 1-30 to use a traditional VN framework for character art.

So, yeah... a lot of content to work on.  I don't have an ETA on when the next build will be, so it'll come when it comes.  I do want to thank the people who have downloaded it and given it a chance so far.  I'd love to hear your feedback and what you like and don't like about the story so far.

Thanks for reading!
