The Golden Rose: Book One by Ana Ventura

Finished writing Chapter 8 and the new Epilogue!

It’s done!!! It is done and I am so, so happy with it! I’m so happy with the book in general.:sob: The new epilogue is short and goes straight to the point, and makes the game almost like a circle that ends where it began and… :sob::sob: I just like it a lot.

This means I have thus finished the first (and longest, and hardest, and also the most fun) of the four checkpoints to do before submitting the game. I wanted to achieve this before the end of May and I did it! On the very last day, but a win nonetheless. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

So, now we have:

  • Finish the second draft of chapter 8 and the new Epilogue.
  • Write all the suggestions/expansion of choices from my beta testers.
  • Put it all into code.
  • Do one week of extensive playtesting.

Next up, I’ll write all the suggestions and slight tweak ideas made by my beta testers. I’ll admit that going back and adding/changing things isn’t… the most fun, but! It’s essential if I want to make this game as good as I can, so I’ll try to focus on that positive when my mind starts to wander to other places…


As always, I want to share AMAZING fanart because I love it and it blows my mind that something I’ve created inspires others to create as well. So here is Alessa and Hadrian by the lovely talented Queendread (Tumblr)

Don’t they look amazing? :sob: Have a fantastic end of May! :rose:
