Weekly Progress Update [18/SEP]
🕑 Added 2022-09-18 20:09:59 +0000 UTCHeya gang, hope you had a great week!!
I'm gearing up for the CH9 public release at the moment, so there wasn't much writing done this week either. However, there was a lot of planning done, and I think I've edited enough to start the writing process up this coming week after dropping CH9.
Planned scenes
I've outlined the scenes in CH10 in what turned out to be, fittingly, 10 bullet points. It's pretty packed, so I think the chapter will be on the longer end, but the pacing will be slow and steady!!
One thing I'll tell you that I'm excited to get into is the Crown's magic training, as well as their private tutoring. Originally, I planned to have introduced all the tutors by CH8, but there was too much going on to fit it into the story.
The tutors were meant to be part of the main cast at first, but early on I realized the cast would grow too large with not enough time to give each character their due. In the end, I decided it would be better to make the tutors very minor background characters. There are so many subjects the Crown will be taught in, which means they'll have a lot of tutors as well. Let me show you with a list
✨ The Crown's Tutoring Extravaganza ✨
- In languages, such as various Arsurian dialects
- In literature, poetry and art
- In etiquette and courtly manner
- In physical training and combat
- In military strategy and tactics
- In domestic politics, trade and Arsurian history
- In foreign politics and diplomacy
- In geography and continental history
- In mathematics and astronomy
- In Arsurian magic history and theory
- In magic training and practice
- In ethics and philosophy
Lots of things for the Crown to learn! When they're not governing they'll likely be tutored, as there are a lot of things they need to catch up on. I plan to allow a choice for the player to decide which part of the tutoring the Crown likes best, and generalize it into preferences for (1) practical subjects, such as magic application, etiquette and physical training, (2) creative subjects, such as literature, art and philosophy, (3) worldly subjects, such as languages, history, and geography, (4) logical subjects, such as mathematics, astronomy and magic theory, and finally (4) social subjects, such as politics, diplomacy and trade.
I'm not entirely sure where military strategy would fit in here, so I'm leaving it out for now haha. I can't use terms like 'science/scientific' or 'humanities' in the game since those wouldn't have been invented yet, so to speak, so I'm using a fitting approximation.
The story also won't show every single subject being taught to the Crown, obviously, as that would hugely bloat the story. You can expect these to be mentioned in passing, with short timeskip snippets of the Crown learning. Like a training montage, but for their mind LOL.
Which preference would your Crown have? Something to think about 👀
More art WIPs
I don't have much more to share this week since I haven't started writing yet, so have some more WIPs for the Crescent Blades instead!!
Until next time 💖

Wow R did a good job finding all these tutors. So I would assume literature includes... poetry? 👀
