The Thorns of War Update #22

The Thorns of War
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Hello everyone

I’ve seen some questions in the comments and some people are asking for an update – I was hoping to wait until the end of the month, but here we are.

Guillaume’s route is in progress. Trying to keep spoilers to a minimum, Guillaume’s route splits into four paths towards the end (and then splits again the following in-game day) and writing all these paths, while ensuring they are all balanced and flow from an emotional, as well as a plot standpoint is taking time.

The current word count is 167,000, but there is still much more to go. With the addition of the 6 weeks of beta access added into what I already know is left to write/code, I believe the release date will be some time in Jan/Feb. Once the beta copy is released, I will be able to give the general release date.

I am sorry to everyone who wants to play the route – I want you to be able to play it too – we’re just not quite there yet.

Many thanks for your patience and please take care
