Hello again everyone! Hope you're all doing well! 😊

Next Update (Chapter 5):
A Friendly Chat 😇: 100%
A Typical Workplace Meeting: 100%
Wait, Why Did We Invite You?: 60%
Eavesdropping Made Easy: 2%
The World's Worst Date!: 5%

Got another solid chunk of the 3rd section completed! Woohoo!
Though, I do wish I was able to get more done. It isn't a particularly large section, it's just the choices and resulting variants that make the writing take forever sometimes. That, and me being indecisive about some parts haha. 😅
Ah well, that's just how it goes sometimes. At least it should make replays more interesting lol.
#redo; rewind if#interactive fiction#if game#progress report#there's this one variable in particular which leads to a lot of alternative scenes.#i think it adds a lot to the story so i'm not gonna remove it but...#it does mean writing some sections take WAY longer than you'd think based on the word count#i think it'll make for some very interesting scenes. especially with Amara#actually fuck maybe i should add that in for this chapter#welp. time to go and add another route lmao

Breaking News: Local Author Back Again With Another Progress Report!! 📰

Next Update (Chapter 5):
A Friendly Chat 😇: 100%
A Typical Workplace Meeting: 100%
Wait, Why Did We Invite You?: 40%
Eavesdropping Made Easy: 2%
The World's Worst Date!: 5%

Got another solid chunk of the 3rd section complete! I, unfortunately, haven't been able to write as much as I wanted this last week due to being busy with other things. But, hey, another 20% ain't bad!
I also got inspired to write a tiny part of the "Eavesdropping" section. It isn't much but I'm still pretty happy with it! 😊
#redo; rewind if#interactive fiction#if game#progress report#also sorry for the lack of snippet this week!!!#there was one section i really wanted to post but i realized it would be too spoilery :<#and like. sure. i could redact stuff but i'd need to cover up so much it would just be kinda... uninteresting#tho tbh i was tempted just to post it anyway with like. heavy redactions. to the point where it might as well be blackout poetry#honestly at that point it'd be less of a sneak peek into the current chapter and more of just a joke#which now that i'm writing it out is kinda tempting but no... i will resist... for now

Wow, would you look at that! It's a brand new progress report!

Next Update (Chapter 5):
A Friendly Chat 😇: 100%
A Typical Workplace Meeting: 100%
Wait, Why Did We Invite You?: 20%
Eavesdropping Made Easy: 0%
The World's Worst Date!: 5%

One thing you may have already noticed that's different about this week's report is that I've changed the 3rd section's name! Since I decided to alter the original events for that part, I thought a different title to more accurately reflect the change was needed.
I know it's not a huge difference, but I figured I might as well. Beyond that, I did manage to get about 20% of it done. Not quite as much as I'd like but not too bad all things considered. 😊
#redo; rewind if#interactive fiction#if game#progress report#also! i should have a snippet to post for y'all next week#there's this one part in particular i think y'all would really enjoy seeing a sneak peek for#i just need to decide how to cut it to avoid any major spoilers... hmmm...#let's also hope i don't just completely forget about it. which. given my brain is a very real possibility#maybe i should set a reminder on my phone or something haha 😅

Hey! wanted to play ur game! It sounds so good!! unfortunately demo seems to be unavailable :/
I'm sorry to hear that. But I'm not sure why it would be unavailable for you? I went ahead and checked it just now myself and the game seems to be working for me, I was able to play it without issue on both my phone and laptop.
Perhaps the browser you're using is the issue? Both Chrome and Firefox work for me so I'd try one of those if you aren't already.
The game is also rated 18+ on Itch.io, so maybe check your account settings and see if you have mature content blocked/filtered? It should also work just fine even if you don't have an Itch.io account, so, assuming you do have one, try playing it logged out and see if it'll work then.
#asks#lovely anon#very sorry to hear you aren't able to play the demo#hopefully it's just the browser or an account setting thing and you'll be able to play it soon#other than those two things i honestly have no idea why it'd be unavailable#i know some things have region locks but i definitely didn't set anything like that on my end

Hi! So I just stumbled across this IF (SUPER interesting conceot btw i enjoyed it more than i expected!) and I scrolled through ur blog a bit but couldn't find anything related to this so-
If it wouldn't be too spoilery to answer, may I ask how MC and V's relationship would be perceived by the other staff at the office?
Like, do they keep it under wraps? Does everyone know anyway cause it's just so obvious? Do they know about the shift in the dynamics and does MC get teased about it?
Does MC get a bit of special treatment by chance shshehrh
I must know, dear author, so please deign to answer. For Science.
Not too spoilery at all! I actually love these sorts of asks! 😊
How MC's coworkers perceive their relationship would depend a bit on MC themself. But I think V, at least, would prefer to keep a romantic relationship with MC quiet and would likely try to avoid any special treatment.
As for how successful V actually is in those endeavors... well... honestly I think the whole office would be gossiping about their "office romance" within the week lmao. V is simply not nearly as subtle as they think they are in these matters.
And the whole "no special treatment" thing? Yeah, I give it a month tops. V is too weak to a romanced MC to completely manage the whole work/private life separation thing. 😅
Amara would likely be the first to catch on and would be an absolute menace about it. Especially for MCs she's close to, the teasing will be merciless and involve shitty gag gifts popping up on both their desks. Poor V is in for a time™.
#redo; rewind if#interactive fiction#if game#asks#lovely anon#thank you for the ask!!! gotta love messy workplace drama!#v really will try their best at first to stay professional and not let their personal relationship with mc impact their job#then amara hacks into their computer and leaves some boss/employee shit open with a text box reading “this u?”#and v promptly gives up

Hello and welcome back! Got a ~mysterious~ report this time around featuring the rare and elusive ???%.

Next Update (Chapter 5):
A Friendly Chat 😇: 100%
A Typical Workplace Meeting: 100%
Hold On, Who Invited You?!: ???%
Eavesdropping Made Easy: 0%
The World's Worst Date!: 5%

So, I've got some good news and some bad news here. Starting with the good: I've managed to get a solid fourth of the current section done! Which would be great except...
After reading over what I wrote, I realized the pacing felt off and, honestly, I'm just not happy with it. And I've decided that I may need to change the events of the "Who Invited You" section somewhat and possibly some of "Workplace Meeting".
Which is. Not ideal. But I think I can reuse a good chunk of what I already have. Regardless, I should have it all figured out by the end of next week so hopefully I'll have a better progress report for you all then. 😅
#redo; rewind if#interactive fiction#if game#progress report#sorry for the mystery ???% but depending on how much I end up changing it could be anything from 0 to 25#so. yeah.#ah well. that's just how it goes with writing sometimes#especially for longer stories#it's not unusual that a good chunk of things get changed before the final version#on the plus side. it is only really the one section and maybe a bit of another so it's not too bad tbh

So, uh... about that "friendly" chat with August... 😬
#redo; rewind if#interactive fiction#if game#sneak peek#snippet#as per usual the redacted parts are just pronoun variables for V#this is something you might see from the first part of the chapter btw#(depending on your choices)#so you can imagine how well the rest of it's going. 😅#poor mc... at least you'll get a break soon.#for like an hour

A Friendly Chat 😇: 100%
A Typical Workplace Meeting: 100%
Hold On, Who Invited You?!: 0%
Eavesdropping Made Easy: 0%
The World's Worst Date!: 5%

Another section complete!! Woohoo!!! And with that out of the way it's onto the next part, which is... honestly essentially "A Typical Workplace Meeting" part 2 electric boogaloo with a side of August. So... fun times!
Oh, and as a heads up, my brain a bit fried at the moment so I think I'll likely take a break from writing next week. Gotta give the ol' noggin some time to recuperate every once in a while, y'know? :p
#redo; rewind if#interactive fiction#if game#progress report#oh! also. although i might not do a progress report next week i'll try to remember to post another snippet#my memory is not the best and i keep going “i should do that” only for a week to pass...#and i did not do the thing#but thankfully i can still remember random animal facts i learned years ago!!#thanks brain!! that's really helpful!

Hear me out, everytime we press the back button it shows a screen that fits the discription of time rewinding (the threads, hourglass turning etc). Just randomly thought of that lol
OOooh, having some sort of effect like that would be pretty cool!! Not 100% sure how I'd code it but... I'll look into doing something like that. Thanks for the suggestion anon! 😉
#redo; rewind if#asks#lovely anon#adding in some special effect for when you time travel might be cool too!#i actually considered it a while ago but wasn't sure how to go about it#hmmm i think i might have some resources saved that might help...#i don't think i'd want to use it for every instance of time travel just... special cases 😊#having a little something when you hit back too. maybe a more subtle effect? like a little glitchy thing??#not sure if i'll actually add in anything like that but i like the idea!#thanks again anon!!

A Friendly Chat 😇: 100%
A Typical Workplace Meeting: 85%
Hold On, Who Invited You?!: 0%
Eavesdropping Made Easy: 0%
The World's Worst Date!: 5%

I'm not quite done with the Workplace Meeting section unfortunately. I was really hoping I would be by now, but then I remembered two of my family members have birthdays at the beginning of May and with Mother's Day as well... I've been a bit busy this week haha. 😅
Ah well, I still got a decent chunk done. I should (probably) get it finished next week and get to start on the next part! 🤞
#redo; rewind if#interactive fiction#if game#progress report#also (completely unrelated) but i made quiche for my mom today and damn!#forgot how much i like quiche. that shit is good.#the french were really onto something there#the only part that kinda sucks is making the crust#i always make it from scratch since a lot of the store bought is shit imo#it's not hard to make but i hate rolling it out#my arms are weak little noodles that do not enjoy laboring over cold dough#ah well at least i got to eat some good egg pie c'est la vie

o(*^▽^*)┛📃What's this? Looks like you've got a delivery. One progress report coming your way!

Next Update (Chapter 5):
A Friendly Chat 😇: 100%
A Typical Workplace Meeting: 65%
Hold On, Who Invited You?!: 0%
Eavesdropping Made Easy: 0%
The World's Worst Date!: 5%

Finally, I was able to get "A Friendly Chat" finished!!! I'm no longer stuck!! Woohoo! Take that writer's block! But seriously? I'm just happy I managed to figure out the part I was stuck on. 🥳
Also got a good bit of the next section written! I'm actually hoping I might be able to complete it in another week or so. Wish me luck!
#redo; rewind if#interactive fiction#if game#progress report#honestly i'm pretty happy with how this chapter's coming along so far!#the only thing i'm worried about is that i think it might be on the shorter side...#but i think the dates especially should make up for it (i hope)#i've got some very fun things planned for them and have to physically restraint myself from spoiling any of it#(also. can't remember if i already said this but the dates can be platonic so no worries if you aren't romancing anyone!)#hmm... maybe i could drop some hints about the dates at some point? like a small teaser or something?#something to think about

Heya! Got a progress report ready here for you! ☜(⌒▽⌒)☞

Next Update (Chapter 5):
A Friendly Chat 😇: 95%
A Typical Workplace Meeting: 45%
Hold On, Who Invited You?!: 0%
Eavesdropping Made Easy: 0%
The World's Worst Date!: 5%

Not a huge amount done this week, but I did get a solid chunk of the Meeting™ section completed. Considering that it's likely going to be the largest part of the chapter, unless I move something around, I'm pretty happy about that!
Still haven't gotten that part of A Friendly Chat finished though... I keep trying to write it but my brain will not cooperate. Weird how that happens sometimes. Ah well, it'll get done sooner or later I'm sure.
#redo; rewind if#interactive fiction#if game#progress report#got something (not r;r related) i'm working on rn so i'll leave things here!#see y'all next week!! hopefully my brain will stop being so stubborn by then lol

Quick Heads-Up: No progress report today, unfortunately, I've been feeling somewhat under the weather for a few days now and haven't managed to get much writing done. But I think I should be all right in a couple days! So I'll see you all next week! (o゜▽゜)o
#redo; rewind if#ughhhh brain fog is the worst#i literally rewrote the same sentence like 10 times earlier#oh well it is what it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
