Scene 26.

So, I started seriously writing scene 26. I'm about halfway through it and it's already about 4.8k long. I actually wrote more than that but I've already started to edit it down.

I'm not really surprised by the size of the scene, I expected it. However, I'd rather keep it under 8k words, 6k if possible (I don't think it's possible).

Scene 26 is part of the evil asshole path, and as such, is pretty difficult to write. I hope the second half will be easier to deal with.

I think it's time to talk about scenes 26 and 27 and their content. It might be kinda spoilery.

Scenes 26 and 27 are a bit peculiar. These two scenes are endings for the Evil Asshole and the Psychotic Knight paths. If you played those paths, you know that Jack has passed a point of no return and is headed for an early denouement during that very night.

These paths aren't very popular and I know that most of the players who walked them didn't do it in the hope of inky content but because they are interested in the story itself in all its aspects. I want to thank them dearly.

These endings may come early but they won't be "bad" ones. They are not avoidable, they are just the ultimate conclusions of these paths. They mark the end of these stories and I can promise you that they will both end with a bang.

An ending is something that must matter. Something that must have weight. And it must feel rewarding for the reader/player. I honestly think it will be. I've been planning these two endings for a long time now and I hope you will like them.

The quick sum up :

• Day 6 Part 4 will contain 2 new scenes: scenes 26 and 27.
• Day 6 Part 4 will contain 2 reworked scenes from Day 2, Scenes 1 and 10.
• Day 2, Scene 1 and 10 have been rewritten, posed, rendered. The scripts have been sent for proofreading.
• 9549 words of reworked content, 4800 words of new content so far.
• 2007 lines of code so far.
• 289 shots are planned, 289 are posed, and 289 are rendered.
• I'm working on writing Scene 26.
