New IF: Hearthfire

A/N: Hearthfire will likely be my biggest, single-game project to date. It is a fantasy romance where you play as a deserting soldier during the Fae Invasion War, and search for somewhere to call your place of solace... and you find it in the town of Amerhurst.

Features:

- Six romance options (two women, two men, two non-binary).
- Gender and pronouns
HOPEFULLY, nsfw content later.
-:Seasonal system similar to a farming sim. You get two "actions" both week 1 and 2 of the season, then 1 action the last two of the season. (For now?)
- There will be five seasons.
- Romances happen on a token system based on how often you interact with the romance options. It takes four tokens to ask them to date, and ten tokens to unlock their romantic ending.
- Three major stats that effect the endings available, and three crafting stats that can alter what choices you have on what you can do each week.
- Journaling system to reflect on what you have done in the month.
- Hidden scenes only unlocked by the three major stats.

@everyone

The new *Soulbound* update, covering Chapter III-3 (and therefore the end of Chapter III) is out now! This somehow ended up being *even longer* than the previous one, at ~60,000 words. This is mostly just an insane amount of branching and variation, though, so I expect it won't *feel* quite that long.

I get more into this in my forums/Tumblr post on the subject (check those out if you want my ramblings on the topic and also my traditional holiday-themed bits that I'm still doing for some reason), but this is probably the most difficult and complicated thing I've ever written, and I probably won't do anything like it again—but I did find the experience interesting and rewarding to do, so hopefully it'll be at least mildly enjoyable to play!

Next update will (hopefully) come sometime before November, for reasons.
