Development Update: November 9th, 2026

I’m doing savefiles. It’s definitely not the most exciting thing to look at it, but it’s important. The UI saves elements of itself into the level file, so your hotbar and such are preserved across sessions. It’s also one step closer to a playable game.

We take a deep dive into statistics, as well as seeing what might be the worst opening paragraph yet. It’s Episode 7 suckers!

As usual, it’s available on Scribblehub or on Itch and Wechange as pdf files if you want it all in one cohesive experience. The next story, Daylight Conspiracy, is currently publishing and will be done on the 14th.

In addition, I have finished writing The Elites. The last entry, We Who Are Nailed to Fate, will finish publishing on the 23rd at the same time the next (and first!) Knights story, Honour Your Oath, Knight, publishes. Go right from the prequel into the main series!

All of these are by Dias, with a variant of the Caelyn image :3

The greatest tragedy of the secretbot design is that they don’t have platform latex shoes like the drones do. A shame! Rend your garments and gnash your teeth!

By Xandra. Um. Even if you read the story I don’t know if I can help you on this one.

By Xandra. Oh hell yeah.

By Coco. Yeah expect a lot of Dorothy starting now.

All of these by Alice. I had to ask if she has some kind of disease that makes her go 50000% hard on art and I got an indeterminate answer. Bug maids, clones, stone dolls! Ahhhh I’m going mad.
