hi! I'm going to try not to be as active on here this month because I really really want to focus on finishing chapter 4 I say this all the time and I end up being active lolol but my New Year's resolution is to be more intentional with my time (and more productive) so im going to try that!

going to give myself the month of January to bang out this chapter (+ Patreon stuff) so wish me luck ! (if u see me active pls yell at me in my inbox)

see u then!

Hellooo December! Christmas and New Years are my favorite times of the year so I'm really pumped. I get super productive and hyper near the end of the year so I'm hoping that translates into writing lol (Usually people relax, no? I'm the opposite. I'm always convinced I'm going to change my life in like a month before the next year commences).

Chapter 4 is going well. This month I'll likely be dropping the sneak peek and hoping to test and release chapter 4 at the beginning of the next year. I've also been chipping away at chapter 5 so that's fun. There's also another thing I want to release in December but I won't say it until I'm pressing publish on that so as not to repeat history…lol

November was spent writing that chapter and planning out the next. I suck at keeping track of word counts and things I've done and achieved so I never have actual concrete data for you guys sorry lol but yeah, that's all I've been doing.

Happy Holidays <3 December will hopefully be an eventful month for Amy Infamous and Infamous readers 🫡

I am a WHORE for “the love is requited, they’re both just idiots”

Could you clarify what is canon about mcs personality ? 💞 Like for example i feel like no matter how we play them, they are naturally kinda insecure (which makes sense) !

people pleaser (kinda), they dont really go against their friends (yet) due to their fear of abandonment, they tend to think the worst sometimes but you can change that with your choices (more positive choices will slowly influence MC's monologue to lean more positively and vice versa)

it obviously varies based on the kind of MC you play and the intensity of those personality traits changes but yeah there's sprinkles of that everywhere, it's deliberate on my part

[malavies]

they were so crazy for this

[malavies]

can i get a lil hint about O or their route in chapter 4 i miss them so much ❤️😫

You will start to see a different side of them! I think they’ve secretly been drinking between scenes because who the hell is that what did u do with our manager /j

Which ROs prefer to be the one to ask someone out, and which would prefer to be asked?

be asked: seven, victoria, Sebastian, O

ask: August, G

[malavies]

We know Seven-mancers will never catch a break but other than that, who do you think will have the best time in Chapter 4? 👀 O-mancers perhaps?

I think everyone (including 7mancers?? maybe??) will be (hopefully) happy!! :)

THE WAY RAYYAN ONLY STAYS IF YOU STAY FOR SLEEPOVER MWAH MWAH

Hurhur. Rayyan is anti-social but definitely not anti-MC ;)

[malavies]

anyway! mini update is out with a shiny chapter selector screen (which can be found when you first open the game) and a new (not repeated) title for chapter eleven. smh.

[malavies]

am currently in the midst of a hurricane which means i cant go outside which means writing these characters at a pretty beach is making me jealous

O is a cheater confirmed

[malavies]

I felt like a Victorian woman who just lost her husband in the war when you said K won't get a kissing scene in book 1 LMAO I will enjoy the slow burn until book 2 rolls around

hahaha that doesn’t mean they won’t get a passionate (for lack of a better word) scene though! don’t worry, i’ll make up for it <3

CT:OS Halloween bonus

As promised, wrote like a fiend this month and banged out almost a full chapter's worth of content for spooky season!

The update is three-quarters of chapter 7 (about 40k words including code and variants), and picks up where Sam's visit left off.

Release dates:

It will be out to ko-fi supporters on 31 Oct, and a week after to the public :)

Features:

Deal with the aftermath of your decisions over the weekend (talk to G, Tobin or Rayyan) <True horror>

Attend a language fellow/exchange student dinner-gathering as G's plus one (and the only American in the group). <the G-only scene I promised! You don't have to be dating.>

Prep Halloween costumes with your hallmates (yes, chaotic), and go trick or treating! 🎃

Attend a party after with the team ... then stay for horror movie marathon + sleepover or head back to Haynes to end the night with G.

Yep, Halloween hookups (however ill-advised ;)) are possible.

You can end this chapter very much in a committed relationship with the RO of your choice.

More details on the rest of the chapter/plans for CT:OS for 2024 below the cut.

Note: The rest of chapter 7 will include midterms, a time-skip (with some training/a match) and some fall festival shenanigans (because I love fall festivals). It should add up to a pretty chunky chapter that pretty much seals Act 1 of CT:OS (the 'settling into Cargill' part - establishing most of MC's friendships, routines, and possibly romances, forming a solid base for Act 2.)

I'll start writing the rest of the chapter once I'm done with Merry Crisis, and hope to get it out by end-Dec. We'll see! :)

no more cold and calculating i want warm and calculating. i want characters who use deductive reasoning to figure out whether their friend would like a wool or cotton quilt based off of their lifestyle, career, hobbies, and habits. i want "your nails are often chipped because you work for a law firm as a typist for this company which notoriously underbudgets their IT department, so ive bought you a keyboard cover that will not only prevent manicure damage but is also sensory friendly because I know you dislike certain clicking noises". i want characters who figure out their friends entire schedules and social battery levels just by examining who only use that info to know when the best time is to hang out with them. i want characters who create elaborate, supervillain level schemes just to get their hands on some collectible they know their best friend wants. most of all i want characters who do not use intelligence and reasoning skills as a reason to be cruel but as a means to be kind

every overthinker should have someone to fuck them stupid
