The Thorns of War Update #14
Hello everyone
Just a quick update for Thorns of War. As it has been a while since my last post, I'll take a moment to recap where we are.
- Bastien's route is finished
- Sofia's route is in progress with a current word count of 70,000 words and all art for this route has now been commissioned
- Two new sprites have been added: Charles De Souza and Aloisio Venitti
- The five submitted backer reward scenes have been completed
- The 15 Love Interest POV scenes from TROS have been completed
- Seven new outfits have been commissioned, including the six exampled above
- We have an original soundtrack by Zephysonas
- The game's demo has been update with a new ratio, music, and some new sprite art
- The game's full word count is now approximately 286,000
Phew, I think that is everything!
With the word count for Sofia’s route at 70,000, my 50,000 word estimate per route is clearly way off on this route, as well.
This will affect time frames, but I am working on ways around that. I’ll know more in the next update.
The soundtrack by Zephysonas can be listened to here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVsGabcy9C8&ab_channel=Zephysonas) or purchased here (https://zephysonas.bandcamp.com/album/the-thorns-of-war-original-game-soundtrack). The revenue from all sales goes to Zephysonas and they most definitely deserve it for all the great work they have done.
I hope this gives everyone an idea of where where we currently are. Please take care and I hope to post again soon once Sofia's route is finished.
Many thanks for reading

Thank you for the update! The thing is, ever since I heard Bastien's route got longer than estimated, I knew there's no way another routes will meet that 50k words as well 😂 I'm more excited anyway! But since Bastien's route is 150k, will other characters be approximately that long as well?
I've listened to the OSTs and they sound awesome! :DDD
Yeah, I kind of figured they probably would be over the 50,000, but I couldn't really say anything until I was sure.
Sofia's route might break 100,000, but I don't think it will be much longer than that if it does.
The other routes are probably about the same, and will come in at about 80,000 -100,000 words. I doubt any apart from the single route will be as long as Bastien's for reasons that will probably be clear once people play his route.
Glad to hear you liked the soundtrack and thanks for the feedback ^_^
