Sneak Peek at the Contents of Volume 3 of the Compendium + An Important Question For You All
If you don't have time to read this whole post, please just scroll to the bottom to answer the poll! Thank you!
Hey folks, I hope you're all doing well! I've been working hard on Volume 3 of the Compendium, and I can't wait to share it with you all. I wanted to give you all a sneak peek into what will be contained within the book - it's going to be a mix of stories already published here on the Patreon, expanded versions of some older stories that never got followed up on, and one completely new story that has yet to be published anywhere. Additionally, as I don't want you folks to have to pay for stories you've already read, I'll be posting a discount code on here for Paid Subscribers to give you 40-50% off the ebook version of Volume 3 to account for the stories you've already paid to access here on Patreon. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT!
As for the specific contents, more may be added/some may be subtracted, dependent on final page count, but the current contents stand as such:
Expanded Older Stories:
Green River Basin Kudzu Exclusion Zone Follow Up
Voidstrider 3 Expanded Entries
Voidstrider 4 Expanded Entries
Otzi Follow Up
Terran Star Coalition Settlements Expanded Entries
Floating Spheres Follow Up
C-2229V Parks (Whispering Dunes, Ol’ Stoneys, Seeing Tree, Towers of the Great Plains, + 1-2 new entries)
Stories Already Published on Patreon:
Basement God
The Gas Miner’s Folly
The Hatch
The Feasting Dark
Arthulain’s Quest
The Garden
PLUS
A completely new story (TBD)
Finally, I have a question for you folks - a lot of the older stories that I'll be expanding upon were written and created couple of years ago when I was using a much older image generation model vs. today. As such, the visuals are considerably rougher than what you might be used to seeing from the Archive in today's day and age. Would you rather I remaster the old images using the current model before I put them in the book, or include the old art for posterity's sake? Answer via the poll below!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOLKS! I can't wait to share Volume 3 with you all - it's been a long time coming!

I think a blend of both would be really powerful. Experiencing the contrast in art styles while moving through different cities and universes could create a unique and immersive journey.
I voted to remaster but to me it's a coin flip. Either way will be excellent, I am sure!
What's better for you?
I went back and forth on this, but i think it would be better to remaster them so everything looks more polished and consistent. Excited for the compendium regardless!
I LOVED the basement god story when I first read it!! Can’t wait to have it in a compendium
I think both options are reasonable, and would work. However, I think in the reason of keeping things more in cohesive, remastering them would be better! Either way, looking forward to VOL 3.
