‘Too many war wounds and not enough wars.’ _ In the hype of Dynasty Warriors 9, I’ve decided to start posting my art😊. I’ve been on the fence about it and finally had the balls to say 'screw it’ and what better way to start your blog than to post a bruised up smol bean.

In celebration of the new update, here is my MC for @collegetennisoriginstory , Avery Linden <3 he's my sunshine child and I love him, I would sell my soul for him, he would be really sad about it though

He's a bubbly cheerful person who likes to make friends everywhere he goes and is a great hugger. Hope Rayyan isn't allergic to hugs and kisses cus hes getting all of it :)

On court, he can be as bubbly but also very calm and calculating. His tactical awareness is his greatest strength. The ability to perform really tricky angled shots helps him execute carefully built up strategy to really render his opponents helpless. When it's all over, it's like a switch is flipped and he's back to his cheerful sunshine self: giving his opponents a big smile and a warm hug.

Why always September 23???

😉😉

watch me dump edward after investing all my money on him for one (1) navy boi :)

The Epilogue is Playable Now

So, we finally made it.

The Epilogue is playable now!

It certainly felt like the closer to the end we got, the slower our progress became, but the important part is that we did it and we made it and now you can play it. Which means that the entire game is now playable! That feels good to say.

Our next steps are: getting some things edited to get the game polished up, and then get it published and out there for the world to play in its final form. Thank you to everyone that has followed this project over the years, it has meant the world to us.

We hope you enjoy this final update!

CT:OS Halloween bonus

As promised, wrote like a fiend this month and banged out almost a full chapter's worth of content for spooky season!

The update is three-quarters of chapter 7 (about 40k words including code and variants), and picks up where Sam's visit left off.

Release dates:

It will be out to ko-fi supporters on 31 Oct, and a week after to the public :)

Features:

Deal with the aftermath of your decisions over the weekend (talk to G, Tobin or Rayyan) <True horror>

Attend a language fellow/exchange student dinner-gathering as G's plus one (and the only American in the group). <the G-only scene I promised! You don't have to be dating.>

Prep Halloween costumes with your hallmates (yes, chaotic), and go trick or treating! 🎃

Attend a party after with the team ... then stay for horror movie marathon + sleepover or head back to Haynes to end the night with G.

Yep, Halloween hookups (however ill-advised ;)) are possible.

You can end this chapter very much in a committed relationship with the RO of your choice.

More details on the rest of the chapter/plans for CT:OS for 2024 below the cut.

Note: The rest of chapter 7 will include midterms, a time-skip (with some training/a match) and some fall festival shenanigans (because I love fall festivals). It should add up to a pretty chunky chapter that pretty much seals Act 1 of CT:OS (the 'settling into Cargill' part - establishing most of MC's friendships, routines, and possibly romances, forming a solid base for Act 2.)

I'll start writing the rest of the chapter once I'm done with Merry Crisis, and hope to get it out by end-Dec. We'll see! :)
