Hiatus Update!

9:22
A downloadable visual novel for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

Hey hey, how's it going? Hope everything is well.

If y'all remember, back in early November I put 9:22 on hiatus due to lack of time.
Well, good news: I've gotten that time back (sort of) and have started working on 9:22 again.

One little behind-the-curtain thing I want to share is that I'm changing the way I write it a bit.
Before the hiatus I'd write a scene, illustrate it, and publish it to Patreon backers. Rince and repeat. That kinda schedule worked pretty well!
The downside to it, though, was that it was impossible to go back to a previous scene and be like "wait, no, I have a better idea." This harmed the story a bit in a couple of places.
All this to say that going forward, I'm outlining the entire story first (currently expected to be ~40k words) and only then resuming regular updates.

Bottom line:

  • 9:22 is being worked on again! Yay!
  • There still won't be updates for a while though. Boo.

Of course, Patreon remains frozen until I'm publishing updates again.


P.S. I've slowly been making my way through all y'all's messages. Thank you for your kind words, it really means a lot to me!
