Happy New Year!
It's the beginning of a new year and a great time to reflect on what has been accomplished. I started this journey in order to tell a grand story that I've always wanted to tell, not expecting to get much recognition or build much of a following at all. Yet, here we all are!
For just a single chapter, the amount of people that have taken an interest and supported me in one way or another is absolutely mind-blowing to me! I can't thank you all enough for everything that you do! Every like, follow, donation, etc., makes me feel proud of what I'm doing and all the more eager to create more for all of you to experience.
Looking forward, I think I've finally found my pacing and hopefully that means I can keep a steady flow of content going out to all of you and also keep releases coming with some kind of consistency moving forward.
All of that said, and for the sake of clear communication with all of you, I am definitely not going to be able to get chapter 2 out in the time I had planned. I've always felt a bit pushed to give estimates on release times, and keep those times shorter rather than longer, because I thought quick updates were the way to go, and what people would want. I realize now, that was an error on my part. I will not mention anything about release times going forward until the release is ready, that way nobody feels scammed or lied to.
I'm going to listen to what the majority of you said in the poll and focus on making the updates the size that I want them to be rather than the time it takes to make it. Each update will be massive in comparison to most other AVNs and updates should never take longer than 6 months, but if they do, then so be it. Just know that I will always deliver a ton of content per update and I'll strive to constantly improve from one release to the next!
It's been a great year, and I hope that will continue moving forward. I've loved getting to chat with some of you on Discord, reading your comments and feedback, and seeing some chatter about SotD around the internet!
This year is going to be a big one for the game, I promise, and it's not going to stop there. So, happy new year to all! I can't wait for the next step in this journey! Much love to every single one of you!

Dev Log #10
Chapter 2 Progress
I've almost hit the half way point for chapter 2! I know that doesn't sound like a lot, especially when you consider that I'm aiming for early access to release in late January, but most of this progress was made in the last month alone.
Future Updates
I think giving myself 3-4 months for updates as large as mine are, is setting unrealistic expectations for myself and for you all to have of me. The main reason being that I have to do this in my spare time between work and other day-to-day responsibilities.
The better quality all around, means things are starting to take longer than they initially did when I set these expectations for myself. Chapter 2's development has shown me that I don't think I can really meet them without dedicating all of my free time to it, and let's face it, I have other things that I like to do as well, like spend time with my family or play other games.
I've personally never faced creative burnout before, but I'm certain that if I continue pushing myself as hard as I have for chapter 1 and all of chapter 2 so far, I almost certainly will... I don't want that to happen though. So I need to find a way to compromise with myself and all of you lovely people who decided to follow and/or support me in some way.
What's Next?
This isn't to say that the next chapter is delayed, I'm working on it probably more than I should be in order to get things done in time to hit my self-imposed deadline. I just don't think the following updates will be doable in 3-4 months, if this one even gets done in that time frame.
Really, the whole point to this dev log, is to get some insight from all of you. So after this post, I'll be publishing a poll for the free followers and paid tiers on Patreon and Subscribestar to see what you all would like as far as future releases go.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I hope you all are having a great time! I'll be looking forward to your feedback in the poll.

Merry Christmas!
Yes, I know... it's late for some of you, but it's officially Christmas for me now. So, here's a little something special for all of my favorite people! I hope you're all enjoying the holidays so far!
