The Thorns of War Update #23


Hello everyone

The end of the year is fast approaching so I thought it was time for a quick update.

Guillaume’s route is still in progress. The word count is currently 225,000 words and I am looking at a beta release sometime mid-January. The beta period is 6 weeks, so I hope in 8 weeks time we will be looking at the general release.

I know that to some it might seems ages away, but I am already nervous >_<

Leopold’s route will be next, and goodness help me, it had better be easier than this one!

Many thanks to everyone who bought copies of my games, left comments, and generally supported me over the year. I am truly grateful.

All the best and take care ^_^

Happy New Year! Yay I'm excited about Leopold's route! He's my OTP in the game

Happy New Year to you, too. Well, I hope you won't have to wait too long for him ^_^

Many thanks for your interest

Happy New Year! Wow based on the Kickstarter updates 50k words in one month is impressive, you basically did your own nanowrimo! And Guillaume’s route is officially longer than the whole of the first game now :O

And a Happy New Year to you! Yeah, I never really noticed how much had been written until I did the maths at the end of the month - December doesn't have a lot of distractions for me, so it was a good month. 

Hoping January will be the same ^_^

Many thanks for your support

I know it will be some time, but I can't wait for Charlotte's route! Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you, too - With any luck, Charlotte will be the next route the backers pick.

Ah, thank you. Knowing people are excited helps keep me going when I am flagging.

I hope you enjoy the route ^_^

Guillaume’s route has shaped up to be a behemoth of a route size-wise, and I feel like I'm repeating myself when I say that I'm excited to check this route out.

I do sincerely hope Leopond's route is much easier for you, along with the remaining other routes.

Also a belated Happy New Years!

Ah, thank you - I'm glad you're still excited. I don't think anyone would be blamed for just being 'over it' after this long a wait.

Happy New Year ^_^

Best of luck with Leopold's route! And Happy New Year! Can't wait to keep playing this awesome game <3 

Many thanks and happy new year to you, too ^_^

So exciting! Thank you for this amazing project you have undertaken. I know it has been a lot more work than initially imagined.  Take care of yourself in 2022 :) 

Happy New Year!

Ah, thank you for your kind words. I wish you all the best for the new year, as well.

Happy new year! (It has been 2022 for 4 hours here.)

So nice to read an update. I hope Leopold will take easy on you XD The time when the estimated words to be 50k per route seems just to be history right now. 

Can't believe it has been two years since the start of the development. Time goes so fast. Thank you for the hard work.

How is 2022 so far? Okay? I've got a couple of hours to wait yet. ^_^

Yes, I look back at the 50k per route and wonder what I was thinking. I was still in denial after Bastien's route came in at 150,000 - now I think I've just accepted that each route will be as long as it needs to be.

Many thanks for your support over the past two years ^_^

It is okay. The worst that happened today is just the neverending sound of fireworks, but it's not even annoying at the slightest.

Obviously I'm not complaining, but are different lengths for different routes going to be okay production-wise? Will it not be unbalanced in any way?

Yes, I think they started here about 4pm, lol

Hmm, I don't think it will be unbalanced, but obviously that is something I can monitor as I work on the other routes ^_^
