Progress 20.06.2025
Hello all!
So... not really that much to talk about today. The rendering is done, the coding is done, post work is done, some minor things need to be done, but those are done after testing is done, which is ongoing. Rendering took a day longer than I wanted, but it happens. Nothing too drastic. And thus it means I will write the weekend, while doing other stuff as well, and then I'll start rendering 0.44.0 on Monday. And speaking of other stuff, motivational render of sorts since no spoilers...
I've been updating the characters for Sorcerer 2 as a small "side project". The "problem" is that I don't know how the story unfolds outside of how it starts and ends as is right now so I don't know who I end up needing for it. Some are obvious since they were part of the "main cast", side cast however? There is Josh, and for those of you who don't recall him, he was the mercenary group's leader, ah sorry, "private security contractor", that company that Alexander works for employs for more dangerous work. And then there is Aina who only had two appearances, potentially. Now I don't know do I need her, but I'd rather have her ready if I do need her instead of doing last minute mad scramble of trying to find the model or how she was made. And that being said, the company is still there at the start of the Sorcerer 2 at least. Why? It's relatively easy to reintroduce the cast to the readers, creates a more natural flow especially since there are a lot of returning cast. It will make sense once things are at that point. Anyway, I'll continue to write, then take a break. You all have a great weekend!

So next release of TOAM 0.43.0 is next week?😕😟..🤔
Aye, it all depends on the upload speed and whether or not there is other interruptions, hopefully not but that's up to the mother nature
Well, I was very happy to hear that you know how Sorcerer 2 will end. Many times the developer has not figured out the ending, and the story falls apart before it ever gets there. Then the game is abandoned. I know this has NEVER been a problem for you, but it was good to hear anyway.
I always know how things start and end, that's kind of fundamental to telling a story. Now, whether that end plays like I thought it would is a completely different thing, but usually it is the same end I thought, but not presented the same way I originally thought... if that makes sense.
I have been curious about something for a while. I'm not sure if you have already answered this before or not but what do you consider to be cannon for sorcerer? The fairy route or the gorgons? I always preferred the gorgon path over the association path myself but both are good.
I don't know about cannon, but I am with you on the gorgon path works better for me. On the association path, what really turned me off it was the change in the releasing Iria scene, it wasn't horrible, and I understand why it was done that way, but that and other decisions just didn't work for me.
Can't wait for the next release. Will you give us a 2-day initial start of Sorcerer2 like the last 2 stories? Just wondering. Thanks for the update.
Probably, that seems to work nicely. Of course depending on the length of things.
Looking forward to Sorcerer2 need to catch up to the 16 babies (17 if you like lady trolls) and one nearly full grown daughter.
The Half Troll baby is gonna turn into a She-Hulkette.
I'm looking forward to it, even though I have to admit I'm a little sad that ToaM is coming to an end, but that's just how it is. We'll see each other again in ToaM 2 ;)
Aye. All stories need to end at some point so new ones can be told. Well, either that or figuring out the cloning techniques...
Ah, a look into a glorious future! 😁
