Writing Updates
🕑 Added 2025-11-09 20:21:46 +0000 UTCCurrently, the files for Zombie Exodus: Safe Haven, Part 4, are with the copyeditor. I am still refining some of the code to address errors identified by testers. The goal is to have everything finished in January so that I can merge the copyedited files with the new code.
Currently, I am working on Zombie Exodus: Stronghold. I'm not too happy with the way it was written when I first published it on Storyloom. I was always in a rush due to very tight timelines, so I'm going back through it and rewriting some of the text.
My editor at Choice of Games asked me to create a timeline for all my upcoming games. After some back-and-forth, we agreed to the following:
Now - March: ZEX: Stronghold
January - May: free update to ZEXSH. There are numerous wishlist items that people have been requesting. I'm also hoping to add things like Age and storyline continuation for hackers, soldiers, and teenagers.
May - September: Deadbury Academy, Part 1
September - ?: ZEXSH Part 5
There will be some overlap, but that's my tentative schedule.
In January, subscribers to my $5 per month or higher Patreon tiers will receive two different beta tests each month: Stronghold and Safe Haven.
Stronghold is already 40% finished, but I'm adding a lot of new content as I write, building on what the previous publisher had.
Deadbury Academy is also far along the way. If I had to guess, it's about 50% finished.
By the fall of next year, I will start Safe Haven, Part 5.
People have also recommended that I charge for the update that will add content to the first four parts of Zombie Exodus. While I appreciate the willingness to support, I don't want to charge anyone extra for this new content. I look at it as a way to enhance what you have already paid for. If you would like to support the work, you can always subscribe to Patreon or bump up your subscription.
Additionally, please note that my Patreon tiers will increase in price starting in January. If you want to lock in current prices, you should join now. Current patrons will not have their rates raised.
