🕑 Added 2023-12-03 22:36:44 +0000 UTCMore talk about me chipping away at the Beyond The Game demo, but with the extra added bonus that I think we've officially hit the halfway mark. All the ros have been introduced (either to the mc or via dialogue) and side characters have been introduced too. I'm getting to the fun parts of the demo now, the bits where the mc's personality shines a lot, where there are customisation options for the reader to choose from etc. and that really excites me.
It's nice knowing in my head that I've made it past the 50% mark because usually the second half of something is easier to get through than the first. I'm hoping that I just ends up having a full on creative surge so I'm able to get this demo out soon...like I didn't promise and think I'd get it out months ago (so sorry!)
I'm also getting to the football parts of the demo too, the mc deciding which position they play in. The next scene I'll be writing is their first training scene, and whilst it's, of course, a football story; there's so much slice-of-life in there so I don't want people who don't like sport to be put off by the obvious sport element.
I finished the mc's press conference scene yesterday and there's a specific scene I enjoyed writing, it's one specifically for female, non-binary or transgender mcs; one that sort of tackles the lack of representation in sport. Whilst the mention discrimination won't be a major focus in game because I want fiction to be a fun escapism, it does add a bit of realism to it too.
For the rest of Patreon content, then the A drabble did well! I wasn't expecting so many people to like it so I'm super happy with that. I'll get to writing the next ro relationship drabble, and when the other three are done I'll hold another vote for the topic for the next drabble series.
Thanks for your support again.
