Greetings! Happy Friday! LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOO–

… sorry, I apparently became a streamer for a sec. Hi.

You may notice this update is coming out a teensy bit later in the day than usual — that’s because Morgana and I went out to get some things for a wedding we’re attending tomorrow, and my car battery died. For the second time in about a month. This time, however, it wasn’t at 1 in the morning, and it’s not freezing outside, so we took a closer look. The battery is in perfect health, but my connection dangly thingies (technical term) are corroded all to fuck. A good wire-brushing got my car running again, but I probably need to get those dangly thingies replaced.

But enough about that — let’s talk about Mythos! Progress is progressing! I decided to add something new to the very start of the game: An introduction from me! That’s what this week’s render is from. It’s me, Nine, addressing the player directly. Basically to let everyone know who I am, and that this is my first project and I’m a solo dev so please be gentle because I’m a fragile flower.

One of the scenes ended up being so large that I actually had to break it up into two scenes, which makes more narrative sense anyway. I can’t really say why, ’cause spoilers, but there’s now an additional scene (“Your Call is Very Important to Us”) which is now complete. According to my calculations, I’m over halfway done writing the game script! Woo! But I’m also super bad at math, so… ya know. Just look at the completed/in progress/stuff to do list below and judge for yourself how far along I am.

My mortal job has become suddenly much more demanding, which has been mentally taxing me, but somehow I’ve gotten more productive on the game? I dunno, it’s weird, but I’m making sure to not burn myself out!
