Status Update #80 - October 26, 2026

Thank you all so very much for your patience through this completely unplanned 3 week hiatus from these status updates. As I said in the discord, though I have been busy, the real reason I wasn't posting was because I didn't have it in me to give another excuse about the bonus story releasing, so I resolved not to continue until it had been. In case you missed it, Bonus Story 12 is out now, and 13 will be out soon. Something like this definitely won't happen again, but I do think I need to make a few slight changes to my process to avoid it. From now on, I'm not gonna make any claims about when something I'm releasing is coming out until it's almost completely finished, as I have a big tendency to underestimate how long something will take to work on. I've also never been particularly enthused about Sunday as the day for these status updates, so I'll be changing them to a Monday release from now on. 

I'm happy to announce that writing for the next episode is properly underway and the planning process is over with. Said planning period was totally worth it, as I'm now in a position where I can easily find time to write without having to grapple with the question of where things are going in a broader sense. I'd love to be completely done with the writing and at least mostly done with the art comissions, of which I'll begin making en masse in November, by the end of the calendar year.

The Halloween costume artwork for the popularity contest winners is also coming along nicely, and I'm excited to share it in a few days. Who do you think would make for the best character costume Duvessa could wear? Maybe I'll use one of your ideas next year XD

That's all from me, but I'll very much see you soon, much sooner than last time! :)
