Progress 04.08.2023

Hello all!

So apparently, Pateron derped, and there are many declines or marked as fraudulent this month, as they changed payment processors, apparently. I'm not sure whether they have sent the notification to everyone, but they basically told the creators to tell you to check did your payment decline, and if you are, contact the card issuer/bank and tell them it's a valid payment. Anyway...

Update 37 was sent to testing and proofreading, so I'll write a day or two and probably start rendering update 38 Monday at the latest, maybe even Sunday, depending on how annoyed I get.

And then the fantasy writing. It's going okay. I just need to write on the laptop because the big computer has too many distractions. The first update is done, closing in halfway to the second update. If I get four updates writing buffer, I'll be happy. And no TRS previews cause spoilers.

I'm slightly annoyed with the lack of assets. Namely boats, in this case. There are modern boats that are decently new but "historical?" Mostly pirate ships or ships I can't use as is. So I have to think about how I do certain things.

Now this is kind of related to the story. It was an idea that came to my mind during writing. There are some darker themes around during the story, but that isn't exactly anything new either, considering the backstory I've given with Garrett for Terminus Reach.
