Hello everyone!
I would like to give you all who follow this series an update on current status on things. How development is going, future roadmap and so on.
Initially I would like to apologize for having to delay the release of Act 28. Date is pushed from April 19 to April 29.
For those who have kept in the loop of the release schedule may have noticed that many out of the last 6-7 acts have had its' release date delayed either by a little or a lot. That is because I have been away from home for almost 50% of the time since august of last year. (Work related)
This lifestyle change has had several affects. First and most obvious is that release dates have collided with the trips. So for some release dates I'm simply not at home able to upload. But most importantly, being away so much have affected both the amount of available time I have to create these and my motivation to do so, due to overall fatigue.
I have barely touched editing or creating acts for the last 5 months due to being constantly occupied and the having fatigue that comes with it. As a result, my "bank" of fully finished & prepped acts are now all "used up". Which means as it looks right now, Act 29 is not yet complete & I have no estimate on when it will be.
Another thing that this big break has resulted in is me forgetting alot of the story stuff going on in the story, planned upcoming events, prepared twists and turns and so on.. Which obviously is pretty bad for whenever I do get back into editing. All details thus far have been documented in a unstructured way due to the momentum I had when i was in full swing. But now in hindsight after a long break, It's hard to get a clear picture of what I want to do and where to go from here. I realized I had to do something about it & re-learn all my thoughts and plans if i wanted to properly resume creating.
The last three days during some days off, to catch up with the story, I speed ran all story parts of the series to re-learn where the story currently is & where it's headed. I wrote down a "quest" log of sorts to so i can more easily keep track of all the active story arcs currently "in play" so as to know "the next move/event". Getting that clear overview of everything and a good sense of "what's next", gave me a lot of energy to get back into creating.
Here is "Quest" log is. If anyone is interested. I figured if i can't keep track of what's going on most of you will not either.
Since the release schedule have caught up with me, I think it's best I go back into the mode of just creating without having to manage uploads & worry about release dates. So, after act 28 (or maybe 29, we will see), the project will most likely not see any releases for the upcoming 6 months or so. Just so I can focus, get back into the momentum i was once had.
I assure the project is not in hiatus or cancelled in any way. This break is just so I can get my motivation back, plan things out thorougly & execute it in the most interesting way possible for all of you & have a batch ready to go whenever it's time to come back with a bang.
TLDR; Work & fatigue has delayed production & drained motivation.. Additional time needed to get back on track. After act 28 or 29, a break will occur. Back sometime later this year.
Take care everyone,
See you all soon when Act 28 arrives.
