The Pill v0.4.8 Progress Update (Patreon)

Hi all, just popping in to give you an update on the progress of The Pill's next installment.

As of today, I have officially finished writing the chapter! The process was a bit slower than I would have liked, due to some creative blocks relating to how to loop the chapter's various points back around to create a single 'trap' ending for various arcs. I had originally intended to do this to reduce the scale of the arc and particularly the number of endings. You will have seen this in version 0.4.7 with the giantess catch-all as one example.

I've since revised my approach. Now instead of having as many catch-alls I have decided to suck it up and make more endings, letting more scenarios play out fully rather than having to loop them back into a single ending. 

Doing this means the new arc will increase Luca's ending number from 5 to 13, and the number of animations from 12 to 28, so more than double its size, coming to a total of over 15,000 words.

I'm also adding in some content to the other three chapters that may give you a bit of a surprise when viewing the game as a whole. No spoilers, but if The Pill was the MCU, I would say Luca's final chapter is the end of 'Phase 1'.

Plenty left to do, but now that I've defined the boundaries I have a better sense of the scale of it all, and I am targeting getting the new (and more boutique) version out by December. Earlier if I can make solid progress with existing materials.

Beyond that, after this is out the next step is to start on the animated endings.
