PROLEGOMENON

Olivia stands by the machine, holding up a hand as they explain the issue.

OLIVIA: This machine maintains and operates the core tenents of the game.

OLIVIA: Like... the platform, akin to your PC or Xboxes.

OLIVIA: But infinitely more powerful. This machine generated the world around you, preserves the day/night cycle, spawns enemies to fight against, manages the physics engine involved in this world... Everything.

OLIVIA: And, when one of you actually finishes your quest and claims your ultimate prize, the machine will finalize the universe we find ourselves in as a true universe, as opposed to the very minor pocket-universe-esque location it currently is.

OLIVIA: ...And, if none of you are to claim your ultimate prize here, this machine will demolish this world and all within.

OLIVIA: Albus and I are concerned that this clear suboptimal performance may lead to a number of issues, created by the personal additions your friends Cherry and Amada contributed to the game code.

OLIVIA: In the best case scenario, the machine will be unable to make this world a full-fledged universe, and it may be permanently stuck in a gameplay state instead.

OLIVIA: In the worst case...

We're in the home stretch for wrapping up Episode 2, finally. Sorry for missing the last couple of updates. Again, you can get news on if an update is going out or not over on the official Tumblr blog, the Discord server, and my Twitter. Have a good one. -Beckett

It's already on the warnings list, but I figured I'd mention it again for this particular chunk of story - going deeper on the subject of being in a video game here. If that's rough for your brain, then probably proceed with caution. Cheers! -Beckett

This is semi-spoilers, but I've updated the characters page once more. With this, we've FINALLY met our main cast. It's only taken a year and a quarter. -Beckett

Hey guys! Nothing actually Prolegomenon related, but I did want to throw this announcement in here too for anyone interested. An older project that I made about... five years ago this October (jeez!) is getting a redux pretty soon, so if you like ghosts, houses, and ghosts in houses, you should keep an eye on this Tumblr blog for any updates relating to that. The original story content is also available on this blog, and it's still pretty fun even without the touch-ups I'm adding to it elsewhere, so check it out. Thanks. -Beckett

I've taken the liberty of fixing up a few things on the site, just some regular maintenance - touching up the not found page since the image got broken somehow (yikes!), and adding a few characters to the characters page too. Another gentle reminder that I'm also saving up to move out soon, so if you like what I'm making here and want to show it, even just $3 on my Kofi can make a world of difference for me. Additionally, my commissions are open too, so if you want something more personal, don't hesitate to contact me! I hope you guys enjoy this update and are staying safe. -Beckett

Sorry for skipping that previous update. Here's double the pages to make up for it. Take care of yourselves out there! -Beckett
