40 times???? Thank you for liking the story that much!

I have had half a mind to make Character Route Guides for each character, but I was wondering if anyone would be interested - I made one for Sabina this morning, you can download it for free from here: 

https://ko-fi.com/s/a795855805

If you ever wonder why I keep on being humbled by my own project upon each time of opening it, then please consider the fact that it was published four years ago and I still keep finding so many things to fix.

One day I will let it go and won't publish any further updates for Said The Stars, but as people are still coming back to read this, that day will not occur anytime soon! 

(Most likely I will have to stop updates on this once Wolf Bride is done, as then I am fully expecting to be pushing these post-mortem updates on Wolf Bride instead while publishing a brand new project.)

For this specific project, all main four ROs are male, yes!

... however, there is a side romance route planned which is not for a male character. As there are not many female characters introduced in the prologue, you can probably guess who that is ;)

Thank you for your comment! The next update will be on Spring Equinox, so 20.3. of the next year, and I too cannot wait to share it <3

I checked out your writing and sent you a friend request on Discord - we can continue talking there!

What is the project?

Wolf Bride is a fantasy romance story created on Twine. The main character is sent out to the Lands of Forest and Night to be a sacrifice to the werewolves that live there. What she discovers is a court of the pack that lives there, and must now navigate her new life amidst the dangers of the woods, perilous politics and romance. Imagine, if you will, something that was literally made for #BookTok.

The game is made on Twine as an Interactive Romance Fiction. The writing is expected to finish by the end of 2025, with the prologue already being ready to publish in December 2025. The game itself will be published in four parts during 2026, with an epilogue chapter in December 2026.

This is an unpaid project for all contributors, with the possibility to be included in paid extra content (character-specific walkthrough, character cards and descriptions; a pdf-file); with the latter, the revenue is split equally between the people participating in that particular file.

Who am I and what, exactly, am I looking for?

I am the author of Said The Stars, a gamedev, and an artist. My previous story stands currently at 20,000 views on itchio, and for this project, I am looking to try to double that number.

I am looking for four writers, corresponding to the four Romantic Interests of the story, to do the following:

- Keep and create the lore of your assigned character

- Write out scenes designated for you

- Rewrite based on beta feedback

- Work in collaboration with me and the other writers in scenes featuring more than one character

You will be taking responsibility for one of the four romantic interests, their arc and their experience.

Who are you?

A writer who knows or at least is curious about the genres of romance and fantasy, who has passion for their craft and is open for editorial feedback. Ideally, your writing style would feature the kind of poetic precision fantasy as a genre greatly benefits from.

There are some requirements:

- You are over 18 (The game will feature erotic content)

- You are okay with the said erotic content (You do not have to write it if you do not have the experience or willingness, but you have to be okay with it)

- You are okay with polyamory (Every character offers a chance for some sort of polyamory; if you are against this, please do not apply)

- You have written anything romantic in your past which you can link to me (fanfiction, Twine games, episode stories)

Thank you for taking your time reading this through! Should you be interested, reply to this thread with links to any relevant works that I could take a look at, as well as your contact information (e-mail or Discord nick should suffice).

Oh my goodness, thank you so much! So glad to hear I broke your heart <3333 It warms mine to hear how much people have enjoyed this game, I'm glad it felt hooking enough to play through in one sitting!

I definitely do not mind, thank you so much for recommending it! <3 I was really surprised and happy to see it recommended, glad you liked it enough for that :)

Eee, thank you so much for your kind words! I'm hoping you'll join me for the next one too, and enjoy it as well ♡

Oh, thank you ;_; this was such a heartwarming comment, and if the story gave you happiness and smiles and feelings for a bit, then I'm very glad in having created it!

Eee, thank you so much for this comment <3 I got another romance story coming out next year, hoping you'll join for that as well!

Thank you for letting me know! This has been fixed in today's bug update <3

.... in hindsight, that was such a stupid broken path from me, the dialogue markers on wrong side of the []. But it happens!

I'll consider it! ;) In the meanwhile, there is a new update - second to last, actually, as the next update I will make will be the last one.

Oh my god thank you ? ;_; Sometimes I have wondered if this story is of any interest to anyone at all, this is really heartwarming <3

You can sleep, I promise! The next update is still some days away!

That's strange - thank you for letting me know! Especially since I've been working on the next part, I should be able to fix this in the same update <3 Just need to take a look and see what's happening in those passages.

Sometimes literal drunk, sometimes figurative drunk! The newest part was written under heavy effects of caffeine and edited accordingly <3

Hopefully the newest updates will clarify this!

Thank you! It's steadily approaching its end, I just posted a new update, so I'm fast approaching the ending point <3

I'm glad! There is a new update now, hoping it won't let down your expectations either <3

Aa, thank you so much for your kind words ♡ ! There will be a new update early next week, hoping you will enjoy that one too!

Ahhh, thank god! Maybe the browser just had not updated it before for some reason? But nevertheless, I'm happy it worked out fine <3 <3 <3

And I'm so, so flattered you like it, aaaaa, thank you for your kind words!

Not at all! I'm grateful when people let me know there might be bugs or mistakes in the game. And hmm - it does sound like you are somehow playing the previous version? The version 0.48 ends there, but if you are playing version 0.49, you should be able to make it past that point.

The version 0.49 should be the one for browser plays, could you make sure you have the latest version? If that's not it, I'll look into it more!

Thank you for letting me know - some further questions, what was the uhh... did you manage to play to the "thank you for playing"-passage at the very end? Or where did the story "end" for you in the file you played in the browser?

Hello! Are you playing on a browser or have you downloaded the file? Also: what was your choice on your route for showing sexual content in the earlier chapters (choices being "no sexual content", "mentions of sex" or "explicit").

Oh dear, thank you for letting me know :D This is apparently what happens when you write four separate romantic paths in the course of 12 hours - I will fix this in the next update!

Hello! Thank you for letting me know - I discovered where the issue is, and just pushed a fix!

Bad news is, there is a chance that if you were playing an earlier save, you might have to play from the beginning of Chapter 3 to get the broken flags fixed :( I did, however, leave a shortcut to the spot where the Null Path occurred, so if it occurs again, clicking on the shortcut and playing from there should fix the flags!

Good news is... Weylin's route has been broken for some time at that exact spot, and thanks to your error message, I finally discovered where the error was. So thank you a lot, it should work now <3

I'm hoping you will enjoy it! Thank you for the kind words ❤️

Unfortunately there is currently no polycule route that would involve everyone at the same time! However, nobody will be mad at you in the game for the romantic options you pick - the characters in the story are your close friends, and have your best interests at heart, so they want to see you happy, no matter who you end up with <3

So glad you like! I put out a new update today, hope you'll enjoy ♡

Thank you for the lovely comments! There's a new update out, and this chapter will actually end up in a scene which will feature a lot about what Ulrich route will bring <3 But that's still one (or more) update away!

Both are a possibility! The poly flag on Ulrich's route is an optional one, and the story will deepen either to poly or mono direction depending on which choice the player takes <3 The newest update is about Weylin/Sabina routes, but there will still be major Ulrich content before this current chapter is over.

<3 <3 <3

Thank you very much for your comment! As a poly person myself, one of my biggest motivators for this game has been "I'll make my own food if nobody else will" - I do want it to be optional for people who aren't into it, but also fully tagged this poly for a reason 😄 trying to get next update out soon!

There is another new update out there today, hoping you will like it!

The first part of third chapter is now out, and it will provide some answers to this in particular!

I think I'll make at least rough sketches of all the characters!

Thank you! I am aiming to update once per month, even if the updates are small sometimes, but I happen to have some spare time in my hands right now for some more frequent updates. <3

I posted art of Weylin in the newest devlog update, but I will definitely make Ulrich next! <3
