Current Goings On

Allllright update post to provide something of interest for this blog. I'll keep this short and sweet.

I'll start with the elephant in the room KCS. Currently the new chapter is about 3k words into development. Plans are to hand it off to edit next week, but I'll be able to focus more on it this week than ever before. I'm hoping to either top or get close to the second chapter's around 5k word mark before sending it to be edited. If my editor can give me an estimate of the timeframe for review I'll make sure to post it here.

The majority of the viewing of the new and old chapter I've been getting have mostly been on the pastebin where they are also hosted. I would prefer more people to care about this blog than my pastebin but for most places where my story is linked to the pastebin version is much easier to access and whatnot, so I really can't blame most people for doing so.

The Pokemon Tabletop System I've been working on has mostly flitted to the backburner, current progress is much slower than when I last talked about my work with it. I just think that it's gonna be hard to focus on with the other stuff I'm working on right now. 

Last is the video game dev stuff I've been working on recently. About when I posted KCS Chapter Two here about two months ago I took part in a game jam that produced a game called A Rogue's First Heist. A small topdown game where you guide a rogue with coins to collect treasures while evading capture. While the only updates to the game are small ones, I've recently finished a huge spritesheet for our expansion of the game. Along with writing making levels with the new sheet are my main focus this week.

At the end of this week I'll be hosting and taking part in another game jam, The Mashed Potatoes and Cramberry Jam. I imagine that this will be a great time sink given its nearly 9 day time frame but during that time I expect reviewing of the third chapter will be in progress so I'm not going to worry much about that. 

Hopefully the expansion of A Rogue's First Heist and the third chapter of Kobold Cursed Sword will be coming out late December. I also look forward to spending time on my tabletop system over my winter break but I'll try not to make promises on that front to maintain my sanity.
