Chapter Ten and the Epilogue are out!
Hey everyone!
This announcement is basically just what it says on the tin. You can now play the past part of the game. Here's the link if you don't have it handy.
I don't think there are any particular content warnings for this one other than Zeus existing, but my brain is kind of scrambled eggs right now, so if I've forgotten something, please let me know.
I feel like I should have some thoughts here about actually being finished with the game, but either because of the brain-eggs thing or because I still have a lot of editing to do, it's hard to think of myself as done.
Just a few things I've been getting questions about clarified in one place:
FoA's first draft will remain where it is, as it is, complete and free, until I submit the edited version for publication. I estimate this will be about three months, (so until March 1, 2024), but can't say that for sure.
The second draft will bring about substantive changes both from a game design standpoint (various systems) and a character standpoint (some pacing things are going to change, particularly with the romances that probably should be a little bit faster paced than they are. A smidge.)
I may or may not be doing a closed beta test for the second draft. That's not me being coy, that's me genuinely not knowing if I will.
There will be one sequel. I will begin working on it immediately after FoA is submitted for publication.
If you want to follow the editing process, I will probably be summarizing my progress monthly here, but I will be going into much more detail and previewing the edits on my Patreon. No pressure ever; that's just an option if you'd like to see more or support me as I go.
Thank you, everyone, for your support, critiques, and suggestions. They've already made FoA a much better game than it would have been without you, and I'm looking forward to getting the chance to take more of them on board as I move through this next part of things.
I hope you enjoy.

CINDERELLA - happily ever after is my entry for the Anti-Romance Jam.
Following the lyrics of Labour (Paris Paloma), it explores the happily ever after of Cinderella, ten years after she became Queen. Or, rather, how little things have changed.
Status: completed
Length: 1.5k words
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported and encouraged me in times of need.❤

Tousle for Ritar? Pretty please?
Well... since you said please.
-------
It is such a silly thing to want. A silly thing brought on by a quiet evening. Or maybe the word is domestic. Ritar sits nearby on a desk that was once just yours, but by virtue of your now shared room has become his too. You've both spoken about getting another desk but neither of you has made the move.
Maybe because of moments like this. In quiet evenings when you've moved one of your large armchairs so that you have one corner and he has another. Both are angled so you can put your leg on his chair if you want. Or if he wanted his hand could rest on your thigh, or your hand, or whatever touch he wished to initiate idly while working.
Or, should you have the urge, you could tousle his hair while you get up to leave work with the much too-long reports and endless problems.
When you do it doesn't quite work the way you want it. Because no matter how soft and tempting his hair looks, it is in a tight braid as it always is. But you know he will redo it before bed anyways, it is a part of his nightly ritual.
Ritar's eyes are on you as you find other ways to occupy your time. You know they are narrowed in amused accusation, this is not the first time you've felt the urge.
Finally he speaks, "I'm going to start making you do my hair so that it is your work you are messing with."
You smile, "You say it like a threat."
"I would hold you to the same standard I hold myself. We could spend hours with me sitting, telling you how you will ruin my beautiful hair."
You turn back with a raised brow, "I have yet to hear the threat."
Ritar sighs and shakes his head, "Very well then. I will arrange the time."
You hum, pleased at the unintended consequences of your actions. Maybe if you do good, he'll let you do it more often.

(Same as the reportrd bug anon)
sorry! Im not sute which demo is the old or new one now. The hug I mentioned was in the demo labeled new but it seems like the old demo is more different from what I remember...are the labels maybe switched? Sorry again!
I did double check and the two demos are correctly placed. The old demo did go through a few attempts of rewrites before I decided to completely redo everything which could be why it's so different?
And thank you very much for the bug report, you should be able to progress when going through the Mage's options and I caught a few other's that I missed as well!

What happened to the old demo, the links are both the same in the intro post.
Yeah that was my bad lol. I updated the wrong one. I have fixed it now so the old demo is now playable from the link in the pinned post.

Wednesday April 26.
International Lesbian Visibility Day.
Today is a big one, folks. It is, of course, April 26, which means it is International Lesbian Visibility Day, the centerpiece of Lesbian Visibility Week 2023. It is many things at once: on one hand, it is a day for recognizing and celebrating the contributions of lesbian and queer women around the world. It is also a day to raise awareness of the issues faced by lesbians, and all queer women who identify as lesbians, and to encourage them to live authentically. It was founded for these same purposes on April 26, 2008, and then as now, International Lesbian Visibility Day commemorates the achievements, contributions, and unique experiences of lesbian women. It is also for reflection on the challenges faced by these women, and to promote a greater understanding of the LGBTQIA+ community. In celebrating International #lesbian Visibility Day, the aim each year is to help foster a culture of acceptance, inclusion, and work towards a more equal, just society.
So, however you're spending this International #lesbian Visibility Day, 2023, we hope you spend it well.
With love, light, and solidarity x

Are there ways to be deceptive to A/L without fake flirts? Do the fake flirts mean that we don't have any affection for A/L, period?
I'm gonna start with an apology cause I have no idea why I left this in my inbox for so long.
But yes you can lie to them without flirting with them! You can also build a friendship with them and not be sincere.
The fake flirting will allow people to play as an MC trying to get in the Royal's confidence, and if you guys want to take a more emotional slow-burn route.

Only RO I was interested is now F only yay...
I'm pretty sure you've put another ask like this in my inbox that I decided to ignore. But I won't ignore this one.
Maeve is a lesbian. That will not be changing. I made the change because I realized I could only imagine her with a woman in the context of future romance scenes.
And there are many, many well-written fantasy/political IFs that have Maeve's personality archetype that you can read instead. So yeah. Go enjoy those if this is a dealbreaker.

New ROs
The Oracle: Dom -- Top
Keala: Switch -- Verse
Don’t know if it’s been asked before so please ignore if it has! Bit nsfw so only answer if you’re comfortable
What are the ro’s top/verse/bottom and dom/switch/sub preferences?
I don't mind at all! I actually answered this in part before my nsfw stuff was eaten so it'll be good to have it back on the page!
The Mage: Switch -- Bottom
The Royal: Sub -- Bottom
Alistair: Sub -- Verse
Maeve: Dom -- Verse
The Healer: Switch -- Top
Dorin: Dom -- Top
not me realizing that the order they're introduced in is also bottom --> top
