Question about how you make the puzzles!

Heyyy Celia! loving the game so far, great work, can't wait to see the next puzzle! I did have a question though. Do you make all the week's puzzles at once and release them slowly, or do you make them one by one? How far ahead to you think? for example, do you have next week's theme figured out, or do you come up with them on the fly? You don't have to answer if you don't want to, but I am mighty curious! Tremendous thanks in advance!

Thanks for asking! My ideal schedule is to make all the week's puzzles at once, and have one or two ideas for future weeks planned in advance. The reality is while I usually have a rough outline for the week, I've been ending up writing the puzzles/articles at the last minute. I'm a major procrastinator, especially when I care about something, so just the fact that I've kept the game updated for 10 weeks is something I'm proud of, even if it's sometimes a last-minute scramble! But I do want to do better, for my own time management and to make sure I give you all the best stories I can.

Since you asked, I'll let you in on a secret: just for fun and as an accountability nudge, I added a little wand icon to the bottom of the archive page that only appears when the current week is entirely uploaded and ready to go. We haven't seen much of it lately, but my goal is to change that! Please keep an eye out for that and I'll keep doing my best to stay on top of everything. 🙂

thanks for answering! Honestly, I relate a LOOOT to the procrastinating thing! My school district had a literary magazine recently, and I didn't start writing my poem til 8:30 pm the day it was due!😅 Congrats on keeping the game updated for this long, major kudos!!! I'll be looking forward to seeing the wand! This game has honestly become a major habit in the mornings for me, so thank you so much for making this awesome world! Good luck this week on the story, can't wait to read the newest installment!
