Release date and MTWY Roadmap
🕑 Added 2024-10-24 18:46:58 +0000 UTCNew Release Date: October 31
I know you're expecting a different post than this one, but I need a little more time.
The upcoming chapter is also a minimum of 2 hours long like the recent chapters, and even with that length, I'm still worried that I paced it too fast. Yes, we will see Hime in that outfit in this chapter.
What have I been doing?
-The upcoming chapter, of course; as I've said before, if the chapter is x2-3 in size, then it takes x3-4 time to make because of cohesion and continuity. But, in all honesty, a chapter this size, by my estimate, should only take 40-45 days; what took more time is everything else below.
Chapter 27 still follows the pattern of chapters 25–26 of having the spotlight on multiple characters while still balancing the screen time within the group. What's different is that I'm very much enjoying making this current chapter without having my anxiety levels go through the roof.
-Writing, lots and lots of it. I find it hard to stop. I'd show proof, but that'd spoil things, so you'll have to take my word for it. It always shows in the storytelling and continuity. I've been writing lore, backstories, offscreen chapters, and subsequent chapters. This is why in my mini-announcement in Discord I stated that at some point in Book 3 with just a month +/- a few days in between, without the length of chapters shortening. It'll come sooner than expected since we're planning to make a big push for MTWY's promotion.
Chapter 28 will be MC-centric. Chapters 29-30 will drastically change the dynamic within the harem either for better or for worse, while Chapter 31 will be a turning point that will open up what is the third to the last arc of the main story.
-Planning the roadmap, the goal is to end Book 3 within late 2025, around Chapter 38, according to the storyboard layout I have made.
What happens after Book 3?
1. We go to Book 4, MTWY After.
I'm a big hater of the leave it to the imagination ending. I want their stories concluded properly and satisfyingly, all of them, without having it dragged too long. Plus, I think this may be a good opportunity to collaborate with supporters on what they want to see in the game within the strict constraints of the MTWY continuity.
The LIs will have their own individual ending and conclusion to their story, but don't get the wrong idea; the story will always end in a harem ending (which I have already written).
2. We go to Game 2.
This will launch while Book 4 is ongoing; as to exactly when we can't say yet.
An indirect sequel to MTWY. A spinoff. Multiple LIs have already appeared/been mentioned in MTWY including the MC. I have big plans for this, especially with the possible crossovers between the two games. LO and I have been discussing extensively how this one should be presented. I believe linear storytelling like MTWY has is insufficient due to its world-building. Then again, a crappy sandbox is a huge turn-off. Anyway, we're still brainstorming on this. It's still a long way.
Please excuse the delay. I thought I'd have the chapter by now, but I hope you can take comfort in the fact that right now working on everything MTWY is all I do, and I very much enjoy it.
P.S. The polls and the bonus question are still live.
