Some personal updates:
🕑 Added 2022-12-04 11:56:32 +0000 UTCFirst of all, apologies, I forgot to put up the question of the month this month, so it is only the questions from the discord server. If you want the discord invite, just DM me if you're on the right tier. Life has been very weird lately, with some bad turns, and it just slipped my mind. I'll write something cool later to make up for it.
So, life. I got news a month ago that the company I am working for is closing down, and we will all be out of a job. Moving the production abroad. So, I will be out of a job come June next year. However, they are paying us good money until then, so I will try to save up as much as I possibly can and try to make a go of it with my company. I have been working on that behind the scenes for quite some time, but with a full time job, and finishing off Fallen Hero, I have not had much time left. Now's the time to start gearing up. I am planning to start publishing things of my own, not interactive fiction, but old-fashioned books. I will start in Swedish, but translations are underway. I'll share the news here once I am ready to show more.
I am also providing coding and backup writing for another piece of interactive fiction (written by my partner). It's not for regular viewing yet (some on the discord got a peek), but once a bit more is done I will certainly share it here. The premise is giant robots/EVA/traumatized kids/nordic mythology and takes place both during the events, as well as fifteen years later once they have grown up.
There is also a superhero ttrpg I am working on, which I hopefully will have time for later.
Another, more pleasant but also sad news is that finally Breaks, the comic me and Emma Vieceli have been working on since 2013, is finished! You can read it all on Tapas, we are working on print stuff.

All three volumes are done, and oh boy, I like finishing projects. If you were ever worried I would not finish Fallen Hero, don't worry. I am too stubborn to quit! And I love endings.
I will take the time in the coming weeks to update my Patreon a bit. I got the option to turn on anniversary billing, which means that new patrons will be billed every month on the sign up date, so there's no longer any risk of double billing if you sign up late in the month. I am going to work more on this patreon since I will be reliant on it for income come June next year. So there will probably be new tiers and content once I've had time to think about things.
And, don't forget, the Fallen Hero: Retribution release date is 2 February 2023. Getting closer! After that point (Mars probably), the Patreon will definitely be adjusted, as I switch the Retribution spoilers to past content, and will chance the highest tier to let you be apart of the Revelations journey. Yep, this time you will get to see how I make a book from step one.
I think that was pretty much everything, it feels like every year since 2016 has been more chaotic since the last, so I hope 2023 will calm down some. I need some time to rest, and I don't think I am alone in that.
I have an idea for Yuletime content this year, but we'll see if I have time to finish it.
Thank you so much for your support. I would not have managed without you.

Hope the transition goes as smoothly as possible work wise, best of luck! Many thanks for all the content, it was truly a lucky day when I found Fallen Hero Rebirth. While there isn’t a whole lot on lady Argent in the first game, but I swear I can’t stop thinking about this fictional woman for the life of me. 😅
