[Announcement] K's Side Story and My Plans for the Future
🕑 Added 2024-05-13 07:00:08 +0000 UTC
Hello!
This past weekend was the day of the public release, and I want to sincerely thank all of you for your support: to those who have been with me since the beginning and to those who have recently joined.
This announcement is public and long, but I felt it was necessary to explain everything in order.
K's Side Story.
K's story became the first to be released as a result of the poll.
From the beginning, my plan was for the first story, regardless of the RO, to eventually be available to the public—to showcase to readers what content they can expect from me in the future.
Following this plan, here are the set release dates:
▹Tier 4 [Inspector]: 25.05.24
▹Tier 3 [Detective]: 08.06.24
▹Tier 2 [Officer]: 22.06.24
▹Public: after Chapter 3 Pt. 2.
For my only member of Tier 1: I haven't forgotten about you and will send you a message.
On May 18, all sneak peeks previously shared will be available for public access.
In the future, Side Stories will only be available for the highest Tier(s).
Why such a big gap for public release?
K's Side Story is an alternate version of K's scene from Chapter 3 Pt. 2: it won't contain any plot spoilers and serves more as a "what if" scenario. I mentioned this during the poll for the first story, and despite this fact, this story received the most votes.
It's very important to me to create content that will be interesting for my supporters, so the story will be released earlier on Patreon.
Otherwise, I believe that releasing it publicly before Chapter 3 Pt. 2. doesn't make sense. But if I change my mind, I'll make a new announcement.
What about the next Side Story?
The vote to choose the next story between L and Morgan will start next month. You can keep an eye on the rest of the stories here: [Available list of stories.]
The next Side Story will only be available for the highest Tier(s), but I'm not sure if it will be for the revised Tier 4 (in terms of included content, not the price) or for the new, yet-to-be-released Tier 5.
Tier 5 hasn't been available since the beginning because I wanted to ensure people weren't overpaying while I was just starting out.
At that time, I wasn't certain if I was quite ready for it, and I still feel like I haven't fully earned it. That's why, for now, Tier 4 will remain the highest.
However, once I figure out the best approach to make things work, I will create a poll where you can vote for or against certain ideas or changes (according to your Tier).
Ultimately, the final decisions will be made based on the feedback from all supporters.
Short Stories Format.
The format of short stories feels... lacking. They are non-interactive, and it's uncomfortable because:
▹All ROs are gender-selectable.
▹The MC has a customizable appearance.
▹The dynamics of flirting change the interaction between the RO and the MC.
For now, keeping neutral territory is easy because it's just the beginning of the main story. But in the future, the further the main story goes, the more heated the short stories will become, because writing just about fleeting glances won't be enough (and not something I want to do).
If I begin writing them in a particular tone (for example, with bold MCs), it would entail excluding the others, and not all readers may find such stories comfortable or relatable to their MCs.
Taking all of this into consideration, I haven't decided how to proceed yet. If I come up with a way to improve this format, there will be a vote on Patreon regarding it.
A brief note from me.
I'm still in the process of finding the golden mean where I feel comfortable and confident that everything is fair and interesting for you.
I wrote all this because I want to be honest, even when I'm not sure about something. At the same time, working on my story is a true joy for me, which is why I am so grateful for your support.
And I have no words to express how much this means to me and my story, and I just want to say...
Thank you for being here.
I intend to continue working hard and improving the content I create.
