🕑 Added 2023-05-12 15:30:01 +0000 UTCI'm going to try to get back into the swing of doing these twice a month, as it helps keep me accountable about what's going on and I do like to share and track things!
Since the start of April, I've been working on Chapter 2 of Honor Bound. It's a chunky one!

Behind the scenes:
This fortnight I've been preparing a lot of Patreon early access character intro posts! And starting to post about Honor Bound! I'm really looking forward to sharing more with you about the Honor Bound characters. I've also been working on Platinum Package, a game mostly not by me but for which I'm doing revisions and additional content. It's in beta testing at the moment and - fingers crossed - it's getting to a point where the bug reports are fewer and less complicated, which is great.
Sneak peek:
From Chapter 2:
You wake at dawn in the largest and most luxurious bed you've slept in for a good long while. The hospital beds were comfortable, of course, but they had that hospital smell, and were designed more for function than relaxation. The sheets are crisp and cool, and the mattress is just the right balance between firm and soft.
Gentle pink sunlight filters through the circular skylight above your bed, though not so bright that it gets in your eyes. Kass must have had @{(hb_rebel > 50) an expensive|a good} architect to create this place.
For a moment it's strange to wake in a bedroom so much larger than the one in the hospital. A glass door shielded with a pink curtain leads outside; beside it is a nook with a bookcase, couch, and armchair artfully arranged around a coffee table. An elegant bronze vase containing dried flowers sits on the table; the sunlight through the curtain lights it very prettily. Your trunk has been placed at the foot of your bed.
My favourite bit:
I've been writing some very early flirts with some of the main characters and getting a feel for how they respond and/or initiate these interactions. It's lovely to see characters coming to life in that early-romance stage and making sure they're all distinct from each other and feel real.
