Rinku's route is now 7500 words long plus a couple of lore books on top of that. Her part of the 2nd chapter will probably be a bit over 10k words at this rate, so it's kind of getting there. Since I have been doing graphics and scripting in tandem with writing and editing, I should be well past the halfway mark of her part of the chapter.

Of course, then there's also Floe's part, which will be another 10k words or so, and I haven't even started editing and scripting it yet. So, yeah, it's going to take a couple more months until the 2nd chapter is out. But hopefully only a couple now since I have the tools to actually create content in a sustainable manner.

I had to spend a bunch of time after the jam to make the graphics, animation and scripting workflows less nightmarish in the long run, but that work is now paying big dividends. Not only am I able to create content without losing my mind, but I'm even enjoying it lot too. I hope my enthusiasm properly carries over to the game itself.

Anyway, sorry about development taking so long! The chapter grew bigger in scope than I thought when we did our estimates after the jam, and my commitment to improve the production quality has taken more time than I thought too. But I'll do my best to make the next update worth the wait.
