Do Not Separate Them…..

THAT. That is goddamn good to have such freedom!! And this is a realistic approach too...ofc with time the forgiveness can be brought up, but to switch on it so fast for the ++ in relationship stat? Mehhh. THANK YOU FOR NOT PUNISHING US ANGSTERMANCES😩❤️❤️

In relation to your last ask; I’m a big believer that you do not have to forgive a person just because you love them, so I’m glad that isn’t going to lock one out of a romance with C. Sure, it’ll be “angsty” compared to forgiveness but that shouldn’t be required of a person who was hurt just because they love someone, and I’m excited to explore that detail more in your game personally

Yes yes yes! Everything you've just said is exactly how I feel about it Anon. I'm so glad you're resonating with this. In my experience, not everyone deserves forgiveness and not everything can be forgiven. That doesn't mean you love that person any less, but it means they hurt you in a way you can't forgive. It'll make some scenes more angsty but in the end, it's up to the player how they deal with it all! I never wanted to take that choice away from yall because I hate when I get railroaded into a certain 'good' path in romances even if its OOC for my MC.

So total freedom in all the romances (I mean, as much as coding and the workload will allow me but mostly as much as possible). This game will definitely be a place to explore darker themes and unhealthy sides of love too (not necessarily in C's route). I'm just so excited to let you guys loose in Ferngrove and do as you please.

MC when shit got real:

@thqwriting

A woman’s “poesy ring” with initials, from 1592, made of gold and rock crystal. On the ring’s inner surface is inscribed, “The cruel seas, remember, took him in November.” From a love token to a memorial/ mourning ring, a fate that often befell many wives or mistresses of sailors.

RE: The Watchwood

It’s official! I’m writing The Watchwood again (finally, I know it’s been a year). Thanks for being patient, y’all.

For those who missed it, I put Watchwood on the back burner because of, well. Y’know. Everything that happened like right after we released the first demo build. The Watchwood is a story that deals really heavily with trauma and recovery, and I just could not write scenes that were intended to be traumatic for characters, or scenes that were intended to refer to characters’ past trauma, while living through a new global traumatic event.

Obviously the pandemic isn’t over yet, but things are looking up- at least in my corner of the world- so here I am, picking it back up. Can’t promise a when, but we’ll be getting a new demo build out in the nebulous near future.

MORE IMPORTANTLY

There are a few changes being made! Namely, we’re switching to Twine. This was a big decision and we aren’t going to get into the whys of it, but it is ultimately the best option for us.

Secondly, the ROs will no longer be gender-variable. I’ve realized in writing them that I have very specific thoughts and feelings about gender identities and gender presentations that I want to write through each of them, and while it would be possible to write that in if they’re gender variable, it would be much, much harder to orchestrate ways to actually have those thoughts and feelings be part of the text of the game!

I want the ROs to feel like real, fully-fleshed people, and I’m going to be much better able to do that with their genders locked in place.

So instead of S, B, and V, your romance options are now

Salomón de la Puerta (he/him), the spacey and kind of airheaded fortune teller who operates Greyvale’s metaphys supply shop.

Bridget Schmidt (she/her), a determined and friendly painter who runs Greyvale’s gas station & convenience store.

Vi Dearborn (they/them), a curious and clever writer who has, after a fashion, taken up residence at the local bakery.

Looking forward to getting a new demo build out to y’all soon. <3
