🕑 Added 2022-08-21 18:23:39 +0000 UTCI finished the Chapter 9 draft for Royal Affairs!!!
This chapter has been such a slog, not because it's been hugely complicated, but it was tough going from the mindset of editing Noblesse Oblige to making completely new material, especially because a large chunk of my day job was devoted to editing at that stage. And then several times the points where I set aside time to work on it, I got sick. So it took a disproportionate amount of time but now it's DONE (well, with my editor, and then I'll revise, and when the whole thing's done I'll revise again, and then beta testing... but for now it's done!)
And now I'm on Chapter 10. It's the penultimate chapter! Things are getting tense again and big things are happening! All of it is very spoilery so I'm not going to go into a ton of detail about it here, but there's going to be a lot of rallying friends together, ferreting out evidence, potentially calling on the Creme MC for help (if they're around), and various scheming, intimidation, and villainous actions that you'll be able to take too. The last few days I've been plotting out the chapter and have started the code. Right now, with plenty of code still to do and without any actual writing, it's over 3000 words so I foresee it being a big one. Which is quite right, really - I want it to have a lot to it so that players feel like it's a fun conclusion to the game!
