Steady Progress


Hello, and welcome to this week's public check-in.
There isn't really a great lot to tell, other than that rendering has started, mapmaking is 99% done and writing isn't far behind. Chapter 6 proceeds smoothly.
So since I can't remember what information I've let out of the paywall so far, let's have a roundup today of everything we know about 0.8 so far. Some of this may even be new to my supporters, IDK, I guess I've reached that age when I can't remember what I've told to whom.
At least I'm still young enough to use IDK unironically though. But I digress...
Chapter Six: The Reign of Jess (Part 3)
The meat of 0.8 is the conclusion of the Reign of Jess story. Abbie has one day left and must now throw caution to the wind if she's to find the answers she's looking for. With Elizabeth Paris in the outside world, her only hope is the mysterious and beautiful Scarlett Raine. But what's her deal? And why is she helping us? And will she try and seduce us again?
In this update, you'll see even more of Fivaviana. Travel to the imposing capital building of Fivaviana, the Governess's Mansion. Poke your nose around the port and meet the quirky (and somehow strangely familiar) inhabitants of Old Town North. You'll need all your wits to survive this second, more dangerous day, and a number of faces from Chapter Five will be returning.
Meanwhile, back in Sapphory City, the other bad girls arrive to join Jessica in playing with a broken and compliant Missy. Is all hope lost? Could she really not resist without your protection? And just what IS Miss Paris's secret?
The answers finally come in the amazing conclusion to the Reign of Jess!
Act Two Begins
The main storyline of Missy takes place as we know across a number of chapters. Chapters One to Six constitute "Act One" which will of course end with the conclusion of this story. I'm hoping that I will have time to include the opening scene for this second act in the timeframe I have in mind for 0.8 (Otherwise it'll be in another mini-update similar to the one that followed Avenging Angel.)
I obviously can't go into too much detail, as doing so would reveal elements of how Chapter Six will end, but in the second act, things will be changing at the school as the staff respond to what has happened so far. The teachers are on the warpath, and we'll also finally be meeting Miss Gloria Whorle, the headmistress. 
I mean... you didn't think you'd be able to get away with smuggling drugs into school, pulling down the teacher's top, fighting, wearing the wrong underwear, coming to school hung over and all of the other things we've seen at a school this strict forever, did you?
And much more
This is starting to run on, so I may return to it another week, but these things will be joined by some other great new events in this update. Get in on the ground floor of a budding business venture and begin Emma's progression in which Missy's past friendship with the bad girl comes back to haunt her!
I hope you're excited for 0.8 as it draws closer. It's been really enjoyable to make thus far!
Until next week.
