The last of character wallpapers and avatars have been loaded into the Barrier Vault. A few other graphics and banners will be coming soon, and then that will be it for awhile.
The sample chapter has also been replaced with an updated version.
Seven pieces of new artwork are posted within the site. Click on the top entries listed in the “History re-written” sidebar area to view a small image of each new piece. New wallpapers derived from these images are coming soon.
- All of the artwork is in, and it looks awesome. I’ll get it placed in the near future, with wallpapers and other downloads following soon thereafter. Along the same lines, I’ve drawn another banner that I hope to use for site promotion. It will also be available soon.
- I’ve finished the “upgrade” of the first novel. I had to revamp the passage of time, the money system, and references to Drakar (now called Strogur.) I added three small chapters, all dealing with Bane’s activities. I was hoping to push the page count to 300, but I fell short. Still, at 80,000 words, it’s a decent-sized book.
- The second book needs upgraded as well, but I can’t decide if I want to take time to do that now, or push it off until later. The smart play is to do it now.
- I also need to replace the sample chapter on this site with the new version. That will happen very soon.
- I figured out how to make the little heretic symbol show up in the address bar of the web browser.
- I’ve delivered the first novel to a friend of mine who will be composing music for the site. It will take some time, but I’m very excited by the prospect of having a Heretic theme song.
- I’ve put down the groundwork for a forum that integrates directly into this site, but it’s far from ready for public perusal. It’s in the very basic beginning stages of development, but I hope to have it ready some time in the future.
The site will soon enter a static state where updates in this journal will be the only new content. I’m preparing to launch a major publication initiative, and I won’t have time to do much with the site.
