Any day now (Chapter 9)
Sorry for the delay, had a mix of writers block again as I got down to the final girl remaining, and a few IRL things I had to tend to.
I appear to be "done" with Chapter 9- I have all the dialogue and artwork for the last remaining girls, I just need to piece it all together and give it a playtest. Unfortunately Shelly, Allie, and Lena are lacking a bit in content but I'll make it up in Chapter 10. I'd rather not force anything and all of my restrictions will be lifted as the story unfolds, and there's a couple new avenues we can expand on in Chapter 9 events.
Overall, in terms of both new scenes and dialogue, this is technically the largest update, but given the time it took I can't help but feel weird about it. I got most of it completed during the first couple weeks and surprised myself with how much was done in a short amount of time and then my brain just stopped working.
I tried to plan out a new game for after Egg Maiden has been wrapped up and got some solid progress, in hopes that I'd shake off some of this writers block and get a change of scenery. I didn't have any issues with that, I wrote out a whole prologue and have several pages of notes, I'm quite excited about it. But then I returned to Egg Maiden and... got immediately stuck again. So, I tried to plan out some of Chapter 10's events and that worked out nicely- no issues whatsoever. So I think it's mostly the restraints of Chapter 9 that got me stuck? Maybe trying to force myself to make content for everyone?
I think I'll try to just wing it for Chapter 10. No concrete plans, just go with the flow and do what my brain wants. I need to hit on a few things in the story portion but otherwise I can do just about anything. Maybe we'll release quick, maybe I'll just do dates for a handful of people, maybe we'll do a bunch of actions, who knows. I'll keep you updated when the time comes.
So yeah, ETA for Chapter 9, any moment. Could be tonight, tomorrow, or the next day. I just need to sit down and focus for a few hours.
