Update 02/01/2022 - Prologue out!

Well, hello there. 

Let’s get one thing out of the way: the Prologue of OLYMPUS is out today! 

I am really sorry for disappearing off the face of the earth like that. These past few months have been a challenge to say the least, and I just feel like myself. 

I won’t bore you with details, as I’m sure you’d rather talk about OLYMPUS. I decided to change things up, not only in the plot but also in the way I will post about the game in the future. OLYMPUS is a work in progress. It is very likely to change, updates to updates, until I finish the project and can look back on it to clean it up and make it look good.

I was stressing myself out, hesitating between giving you a final product that would look good or giving you content. This game is my first project of this size, so I’m really winging it and I am very self-conscious about it. I decided that I will no longer publish when the everything is perfect or finished, but whatever I have done every month or so. 

I think that, by having this pressure of a monthly update, I will be a lot less critical of my writing and hopefully more productive. I never realized how, without that deadline pressure, my writing suffered. I probably deleted ten versions of the first chapter, because I am actually terrified of publishing anything.

I know that between content and quality, I should choose quality. However, when you think everything you do is bad, you kind of have to start somewhere. For now, I have decided to give you the content. For the future, we will see how it goes. To end this very lengthy update, you can expect the prologue of OLYMPUS: Secret Services today. 

If anyone else feels like this, know that you’re not alone and that we can feel bad together. Hopefully, we’ll feel better soon. 

Love you guys, and thank you so much for the support.
