Good news for Honor Bound!
🕑 Added 2024-07-15 18:00:36 +0000 UTCWell... my initial first Honor Bound draft is done!
That's 525000 words that I've written for Honor Bound in 15 months.
The work isn't over yet though by any means.
Tomorrow I'm going to start playtesting... a lot. I've already playtested the first two-thirds fairly thoroughly, and have done some work on Chapters 9 and 10, but I very much need to test Chapters 11 and 12 because they branch a lot and there's bound to be some wonky continuity going on there that I need to find.
And I'll be taking a look at the difficulty balancing as well - the option to show what's being tested makes it much easier, but I need to make sure it's reasonably possible to reach the desired thresholds.
Thank you so much for all your support and feedback in helping me make this game. It would have been a much, much harder road without you.
If you haven't played the Chapter 7 update yet and are curious about what's in it, please do! Although it's been 11 days since I last updated the public demo (and there's something funky going on with the compiled version I originally put up on itch, so that one is now downloadable rather than playable in the browser), I'm still implementing player feedback and will be until the Choice of Games beta testing starts.
Thank you again. I really appreciate all that you do, especially if you've been in a position to subscribe - it really has made a difference in being able to spend so much of my work time on this gigantic game!

So, once I've submitted it and done any revisions I need, the full game will go into CoG beta testing, which is a closed beta that they run through email. When the time comes, I'll post about it here in case anyone would like to join it!

Do you have your readers help beta read or does COG have their own staff/people to help?
