Okay. It’s happening. We’re here, this is real.

This has been… one absolute mother of an update, but we’re finally ready to call it done and let you all get your hands on it.

The Final Chapter is playable now!

Make one last bit of very bloody war with your friends against whichever enemy you have earned, and solidify the future of Clan Maghnus.

The last stop for us will be the epilogue, which will probably be short and sweet, a farewell to the characters we’ve spent so much time with, as well as the ones who may or may not live to the finish line. After that there’s a big scary expanse of emptiness, but we’ll deal with that when we get there.

For now, to war!

I swear, if I suffer from sleep deprivation from playing this update, I’m going to start filing lawsuits

Thank you for the good news, both on the update and where you guys are headed next.

Please no lawsuits. We’re penniless, you see.

Congratulations on the update! It’s such a strange experience getting towards the end of a long writing journey, but so exciting at the same time. Best wishes for the upcoming epilogue!

Get this book published so we can buy it in the future?

I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what they intend to do when it’s finished.

Congratulations on reaching this milestone! :partying_face: (will likely congratulate you both again once it’s ready for publishing :blush: ) I love the writing. Best wishes on commercial release, and enjoy a break if you do take one after that. :beach_umbrella:

Including some character descriptions in the relations tab would be great. I have a chronic case of bird brainism.

This is excellent! I’m surprised you’ve made virtually the entire story available via WIP. I’ll still buy it though. First because it’s worthy of financial reward. Second, because it’s replay value looks high.

Any chance of a cheat option (optional stat boosts) for 2nd+ playthroughs? Also, are there any plans for a sequal, or for new games set in the same World? You’ve created quite a rich setting here. It would be nice to see more… though that’s probably the last thing you want to hear atm. :slight_smile:

I’ve played as far as the beginning of Ch3 just now, and I love this game already. I can’t wait to continue to explore this world.

Thanks for the suggestions and typo notes, everyone. We’re going to be cagey about future plans for now, largely because not even we quite exactly know what they are yet, but if Diaspora does well I think it will be safe to say that you’ll see something else from us. :slight_smile:

From Ch3 and the following Interlude:

I assume this refers to Cormac?


“ways only a veteran”


wear


and (?)


of; altogether


notice


shouldering


“it’s the one”; refurbishing (?)

I remember playing this awhile ago but who are the ROs again mainly the female ones

Aisling and Izzy are the female ROs. The others are Cormac, Pan, and Sangarinus.

Thanks for all these. The program we use to write cooperatively is infamously without a spellcheck, and we spend so much time staring at the same text that we inevitably miss a lot of typos. Please don’t feel obligated to do this, but it’s much appreciated. :slight_smile:
