Chapter 13 News. #3
Hey everyone!
Here comes the long-awaited update on Chapter 13.
All the renders are done, and in the next few days I’ll dive into coding and translation. After that, there’s not much left — just proofreading and adding the gallery. As usual, I won’t give an exact release date, but I’ll announce it roughly a day before the Gold release.
Some of you might say it’s coming too fast — and you’d be half-right. The chapter isn’t very big: around 7,200 words and 1,200+ renders. Honestly, I originally planned one big final chapter, but realized that wouldn’t work well, so I decided to split it into two.
The good news (for you) is that I’ll start working on Chapter 14 right after Gold release of 13. And yes — Chapter 14 will be the final chapter of Instinct Unleashed.
As much as it hurts to say goodbye to these characters, I want to move on and I don’t want to milk this story. Especially since I initially planned only 10 chapters — and I’m sure that’s noticeable in the pacing. Some parts of the main plot slowed down a lot to make room for character arcs. That’s because some characters changed drastically during development, and their stories shifted along the way. I always tried to make everything feel natural and logical, and I hope that came through for most of you.
So what can you expect in Chapter 13?
More character-driven moments, more personal growth — including from Jade herself. And a climactic ending that finally reveals who’s been behind everything — and why.
And also, the logical closure of several important character arcs.
Thanks for sticking with me. It really means a lot.
