Finally got that sneak peek for y'all! Most of what's redacted is just pronoun variables and the like except for that little part at the end. But surely that's nothing important right? 😇

[redo-rewind-if]

Here we go again. Another week another progress report! (✿ﾟ▽ﾟ)ノ

Next Update (Chapter 4):

Opening: 100%

Avoid August/Confront Him: 100%

A Normal Day at Work: 100%

You Can Fix This, Right? 🤡: 40%

Keep Your Friends Close...: 0%

Avoidant Route: 0%

So good news with this section is that it's almost halfway done! Bad news is that the most time consuming part (the time loop) is the unfinished bit.

The variables alone are going to destroy me lmao. Ah well, tis the price one pays for writing a story with time shenanigans. At least it should be fun to play through and see all the different possibilities, right?

[redo-rewind-if]

Small report this week! The current path is shaping up to be a doozy. 😬

Next Update (Chapter 4):

Opening: 100%

Avoid August/Confront Him: 100%

A Normal Day at Work: 100%

You Can Fix This, Right? 🤡: 20%

Keep Your Friends Close...: 0%

Avoidant Route: 0%

Oh boy, things are getting intense in this section. I wish I could share more, but it's hard to without any spoilers. Just know that the plot is really starting to amp up and MC is not having the best of times lol.

Hopefully I'll be able to share a snippet next week (I tried to find a good one for this past week but everything felt too spoilery, y'know?).

[redo-rewind-if]

Hey y'all! Here's this week's progress report! 😊

Next Update (Chapter 4):

Opening: 100%

Avoid August/Confront Him: 100%

A Normal Day at Work: 100%

You Can Fix This, Right? 🤡: 10%

Keep Your Friends Close...: 0%

Avoidant Route: 0%

The work day section is all done! I've made some headway on the "fix this" path as well, though not quite as much as I'd like.

I mentioned this before, but that path will likely take me the longest to get done due to the time loop aspect. Probably a few weeks, fyi, but at least I should be able to get some good snippets to post out of it!

[redo-rewind-if]

Hey! No pressure for the portraits author.

I'm more than happy that you're writing!❤️

Ahhh, thank you for the kind words dear!! I really appreciate it! 💖

[redo-rewind-if]

Ooh that was unexpected.

Will we get other portraits as well?

Yes! I definitely plan to draw Amara and V as well! The only issue is that I can only really draw when I get the motivation/inspiration to, so it could be next week or... next year. 😬

But, eventually, there will be more portraits. I promise!

[redo-rewind-if]

So... I may or may not have finished up my drawing of August a few days ago and thought I'd share.

Gonna put it under the cut because I am not that good of an artist and am very self-conscious lol. Hopefully y'all like it anyway!

[redo-rewind-if]

I just want you to know that seeing your progress reports and the little percentages go up or move around in general gives me, an adhd person, some dopamine. Like I’m so excited someone is making progress (because it is certainly not me) it’s like got the same energy as like those thermometer donation chart things where you see it fill up, or like a good bar chart. And the fact that I imagine V receiving it like a report with their little glasses and being like hm (because let’s be honest, they’d be happy with the rate of progress but I doubt they’d say anything, and the only way you’d know they think you’re doing good is that they have no notes to give you, god they somehow come off so judgey and understanding and it works too well for them) absolutely increases the fun I feel seeing them (also, it just feels in theme for this semi office setting, and I do love a good matching assets to themes/environments)

Hope you’re having fun!

Big mood. Gotta love when the numbers go up, especially in the form of fun little charts. I'm so glad you enjoy the progress reports! The percentages really make it easier for me to track how far along I am too, since my drafts can get kinda messy with all the branching paths, y'know?

And, oh boy, you got V spot on! When they're pleased with an employee's work, the most they usual give is a nod and the word "acceptable" if not just dismissing them flat out before getting back to work themselves. V's too much of a perfectionist for anything else, "judgey" indeed lmao.

Shit, now I've got the image of V judging my ass as I write. Thank you anon lol. I appreciate it.

[redo-rewind-if]

Hi there everyone! I hope you've all had a good week!ヽ(✿ﾟ▽ﾟ)ノ

Next Update (Chapter 4):

Opening: 100%

Avoid August/Confront Him: 100%

A Normal Day at Work: 90%

You Can Fix This, Right? 🤡: 0%

Keep Your Friends Close...: 0%

Avoidant Route: 0%

As you can probably tell, I've had a pretty productive week! The Work Day section is almost done! Woohoo!!

Which is good considering the next section will likely be the largest and most time consuming part of the chapter to write. And the sooner I get that done, the sooner I can make a solid estimate for the chapter's release. I'm hoping for early next year! 🤞

[redo-rewind-if]

Redacting most of the second paragraph because it's objectively funnier that way.

[redo-rewind-if]

Quick Update: No progress report today. I was away from home for a few days and wasn't able to get much writing done. Should be back on track next week! (✿◡‿◡)

[redo-rewind-if]

Huh, I wonder what prompted this reaction...? 🤔

[redo-rewind-if]

✨ The horrors persist but so do I... along with this week's progress report! ✨

As you can see, the Avoid/Confront path is finished! (For the second time lol). The next section is coming along slowly but surely. Based on my current estimates, it won't take me too long to get done... Hopefully...

In other news, I'll be back to posting snippets next week! I've got some juicy ones I've been thinking of sharing some time soon. 🤭

[redo-rewind-if]

Hey!

Sorry, this is kind of off topic.

Is this your first Interactive Fiction? Have you done any other works (like games, IFs, fiction etc.)?

This is the first IF I've actually published, but I have drafts for others, including one I did start working on before putting it on the back burner for Redo; Rewind.

That being said, I've been writing fiction for years. No published works though. I have some social anxiety so I never worked up the nerve before. They just sit in my Google drive or fill up my notebooks lol.

[redo-rewind-if]

Hi everyone! I'm back again to give you Redo; Rewind's weekly progress update! Or in the case of this week... negative progress? Un-progress? But we'll get into that in a second.

Next Update (Chapter 4):

Opening: 100%

Avoid August/Confront Him: 90%

A Normal Day at Work: 5%

You Can Fix This, Right? 🤡: 0%

Keep Your Friends Close...: 0%

Avoidant Route: 0%

So, you may have noticed that the Avoid/Confront path has gone down 5%. The reason for this: I have (once again) decided to add a new route. Which means, including the new unfinished sections, that the overall progress has decreased. Uh, oops?

On the plus side, this means more options/content for you, the player! But... yeah... Hopefully I'll been finished with it soon lol.

[redo-rewind-if]

Hi Author!

There's no rush for the progress report.

Take rest. Be well. I'm sure you'll get through whatever you're going through.

Thank you dear, I really appreciate that. Don't worry, I've definitely been taking it easy (or, easier at least lol) these last few days, and am already starting to feel a lot better! 😊

[redo-rewind-if]

Hope your dip perishes soon (for you know, the sake of feeling good rather than productivity, life is too short to let productivity be the #1 priority all the time, though I do find it very admirable how well you keep yourself organized)! You talking about it honestly made me think of V just kind of like, stretching out their wrists and putting on reading glasses in a very much, employee down, kind of way. Crafts the most professionally biting email to the rest of their cast that when you come back from break they all better be exactly where they’re supposed to be, doing exactly what they’re supposed to be doing.

Thank you so much for the kind words!! You're absolutely right, productivity is all well and good but your health should come first. (Admittedly, that's a lesson that took me a while to learn haha.)

Also, the picture you paint of V is so spot on I love it! V truly is incredible when it comes to crafting professional but super passive aggressive emails, they so totally would do that. Just *chef's kiss* absolute perfection. 🥺🥰
