Hi, everyone!

So, bad news; good news; bad news; good news! 

First up, as much as I hate to say it, the project’s timeline is gonna be extending even further. Toward the end of Chapter 3, I decided that Sylving was something I wanted to be entirely mine, and I wanted to push myself as hard as I could to make something amazing with almost no outside assistance. 

As a result, my co-writer, Dodoki, graciously stepped away from the project and left me to my devices. Months of toil, stress, and frustration later, I’ve come to realize that I’m really just not cut out for writing (Maybe someday)! Worldbuilding, flow, syntax, brevity–all these things that Doki had been pushing were things I thought I could do just fine on my own. But oh boy was I wrong. And while I’m sure I could eventually get the hang of it, I’d like to have Chapter 4 rolled out before 2030.

Thing is, Sylving was my baby, and while it’s been really hard to admit it, if I want this VN to be as good as I think it should be, I’m gonna need some help.

So there’s the first good news: After a big heart to heart with Dodoki, he’s accepted my request to step in as the main writer for Sylving–working to take my ideas and weave them into a much more enjoyable, digestible story!

Bad news is that means I have no idea what’s gonna happen with the current Chapter 4 script. I gave it my best, but it really just doesn’t meet the standards I feel Sylving can reach. More than that, I want you guys to be able to read the best story I can create.

Good news is that things have already gotten into motion. Chapter 3 is actually gonna have some substantial revamping, and then from there Chapter 4 should hopefully be able to get moving at a good pace, since about half of the art assets are made and ready to go!

Again, be aware that there’ll be no set timeline moving forward, because I’ve learned this project doesn’t do well when it’s rushed.

Whew! That was a lot. Thanks for reading, and thanks for caring about my little passion project!
