Charlton - One year later...

Just a quick note to mark the occasion that we’re at a year since the first release of The Secrets of Charlton went live. Looking back at that first release (i.e. Just the prologue) it’s very gratifying to see how far the game has come along.

Firstly, I want to thank anyone who has donated this year. It’s not my intent to make money from this, but it’s nice to see that people like what I’m doing enough to pay for it. It’s appreciated, so thank you.

Second - thanks for everyone who have supported generally. Posted on the message thread, discussed in the Discord server. Again, I’d probably release Charlton even if no one cared, but it’s humbling that some people are really invested in the characters and the world. It’s my favourite thing to write, so I’m happy people enjoy it.

Turning towards year two, I will be releasing 0.1.7 and 0.1.8 over the coming months. Anywhere between 2 and 4 Then my attention will go to Act 2. I’ve mapped out the entire Act and it’s no small update. I’ll post regular updates in Discord as I go, but I expect this to take a while. Act 1 took approximately 4-5 months after the prologue was released. I’m expecting Act 2 to be just as long.

And then there’s Act 3, the final act. And maybe, just maybe, another concept that’s been peculating over days / months / years. But for the most part, Charlton will be the focus. There’s more secrets to reveal, more scenes to be written (including one I conceived over a year ago) and a whole bunch of characters to save.

Once again, thank you.
