Updates and New Hosting Site
While itch.io is a wonderful site for Twine games, I've grown suspicious of letting anyone else decide whether we're "allowed" to post our game. I've created our own hosting site for Aurillian Framework games and added Patreon connectivity to authenticate for accounts that want to paywall.
For now it's only got Aura Clash listed, and the WIPs being worked on in the forum are more than welcome whenever they're ready.
As a ch10 update, I've finished Angelo's 50k word quest and began work on the chapter in earnest a few weeks ago, as well as finishing 1 of the 4 background quests (Blacksmith). I'm half-done with the Trapper quest and am on to the Printing Press from cut content and Ram Trial. Things have been busy at work so I'm looking at taking a few days off to focus on the writing within the next month.
Lastly, after accounting for Sage x3 votes the Loredive poll was won by a whopping 1 vote, with the Frozen North winning 30 to 29 against New Yomi. I'll be looking to get that out in the next week or two.

Gotta say, love this site over the other sites we've used for this work
Hey just wanted to ask if, from chapter 9 onwards is it gonna be patreon exclusive? Asking here since the new website seems to have 2 builds (Free and patreon)
The newest chapter is patreon exclusive. Typically once I drop a whole chapter I then make the previous patreon chapter as the new free chapter.
Any else pledge having problems
Does that mean the current link on Patreon no longer works or are we good to still use it?
Still works, this is just an additional hosting site for other authors to use if they want to make games using my engine.
New yomi should’ve won
Now we'll never hear about its insidious Y-Pop Bands (︶︹︺)
What does it mean they decide if you're allowed to post your game? And do you have to redo the code again?
I simply mean that other hosting sites can ban us, as our first publisher has, and Itch has delisted us from the search over a false mass-report from critics and ignored support emails to appeal it. With our own hosting site we can make sure any game people make in the Aurillian Framework are hosted somewhere that won't remove them over a reviewbomb or fake scandal rumor. People can still host those games on Itch or Newgrounds, I'm making our own hub as a backup. Also no, the code is all fine and no reworking will be needed.
