I'll keep it real: Effie is in her delulu era and secretly hoping to have Chapter 2 out by the end of May - but things have been insanely busy so I'm also self-aware enough to know that this might not be possible. Will keep you updated on my progress here!

Honestly, Garden of Bones's biggest limitation other than my spit-and-twine "style" of coding has been the fact that I am getting an insane amount of headaches this year... They aren't migraines or anything, but it's very debilitating and makes me want to do nothing but lie down and close my eyes.

Which is not great for productivity.

So everything I've done to get this far in the demo has been accomplished while pushing through a headache about 3-4 days out of every week, and recovering from the headaches (among other things) on the in-between days. Here's hoping this resolves sooner or later but until then, I'll just keep pushing through when possible and resting when not! I know my limits well at this point. 

And with that disclaimer out of the way, here is a small but personal choice you can make early on in the chapter:

Most notably, upon your request...

⮞ ...a tiny game that can be played alone--with a tiled board, pebbles, and strange-looking dice.
⮞ [REDACTED]
⮞ [REDACTED]
⮞ [REDACTED]
⮞ [REDACTED]

U procured a small instructional scroll that was illustrated beautifully enough for you to understand it without knowing the language. Playing alone is better than nothing, and strategizing against yourself is at least somewhat entertaining.

But it does start to feel... well, rather pointless. 

There are so many spoilers I have been wanting to tell you about, but I think it will be vastly more enjoyable for anyone who plays the next chapter to encounter those moments in the game. 

That's all for now!

PROGRESS.
