Happy weekend, all!
Update: The demo of Ink and Intrigue has been submitted to Spring Thing!
I’m planning to release the public demo here next week. Until then, I’ll be over here working on chapter 6. I had to put that on pause while doing revisions to the demo, but it’s nice to be making forward progress again. I want to finish up this game so y’all can play the full thing! I still have a few chapters to go.
Leia’s Writing World:
Before I get back to ch 6, I thought I’d share a couple of pictures with you of my writing space. I do some of my best writing standing up. Here’s my makeshift stand-up desk:
Yes, I like rocks and crystals. And the blue dragon hanging out in the purple hat in the corner is named “Seeker of Truth.” She found me at a Ren Faire two decades ago and we’ve been on many adventures together. Road trips, plane trips, forest trips, I’ve taken that dragon everywhere.
After a while, I get tired of standing or I need two screens to compare text and decide to sit down. Yes, I know, I need a proper monitor that’s bigger than a laptop screen. One of these years I’ll add that to my setup.
Here’s my sitting desk, plus some of my shelves:
The painting of the cosmic waterfall on the left there was done by a street artist in New Orleans using primarily spray paint. This guy set up as a busker, created masterpieces in like twenty minutes from spray paint and cans and newspaper, then sold them to spectators. It was fascinating to watch, and otherworldly in its beauty. That piece of art has been with me nearly as long as my little blue dragon.
Fun fact #1: I enjoyed the ACOTAR series but mostly I use the box set under my laptop because it’s the right height. Throne of Glass is my favorite SJM series thus far, though I haven’t started the CC series yet. I’ve been waiting until more books are published so I can binge the whole series in one go rather than waiting a year between installments in whatever shocked emotional state the author decides to leave me in.
Fun fact #2: I’ve never read GRRM’s A Dance with Dragons, but it’s the right size to go with the Paolini book in my standing setup. I have read Paolini’s Inheritance Cycle and enjoyed them immensely.
Fun Fact #3: I did some more work on the temporary art for Ink, which I’ve updated on the first post of this thread. Again, this is not official art, just me playing around in canva so I had a cover to submit with the demo to Spring Thing. But I did have fun with the art. Let me know how you like it!
Fun Fact #4: At this point I’m just procrastinating. 
I hope you all have a fantastic weekend! 
That said, Christopher Paolini mentioned Eragon is getting a series. I hope they do a good job of all these adaptions. It’s such a tricky thing to get right when you have such big fandoms, but magic when they do a decent job of bringing a story to screen.
