Hello all, this is Aorii, it's been a few month since my last post here.
A few of you may have noticed that I put up a notice in Daybreak months ago that the project was currently under resurrection. It was only about 6 months after I officially "dropped" the project did I realize that there was another option I haven't examined, and that was -- to rework the story's starting country to resolve some of the worst problems I had with it.
I started this project almost 5 months ago, but refrained from posting anything over here until I had something to show for it. If you're interested on details of why I did this, as well as planning and goals:
Daybreak Redux Project Announcement
However I am posting here again now because... the project has reached far enough for me to start publishing chapters again. First batch includes all of volume 1, and first 5 chapters of volume 2. See post for more details:
Daybreak Dev Diary: Progress, Redux Changes, and Kaede’s Tweaks
Currently the chapters are only posted over at my own blog. I will be updating them over here at krytyk soon though I'm currently still thinking about how to do this. I don't really want to just recreate all the pages as there's a lot of old comments (and answers) that remain pertinent, but after volume 1 the chapters don't all line up either so... (shrug). No simple answers.
In either case if you enjoyed Daybreak before I hope to see you around =)
Best regards,
~ Aorii
Daybreak is back ! ! !
this is great news!
about your problem with chapter changes and reposts, how about you just keep the old version and add a new folder/menu item for daybreak redux?
it would be a double post for the earlier chapters but if the story for the second volume clearly deviats from the old version than there should be no issue keeping both versions.
i also say this because i don't want your achievments to disappear. daybreak on hyperion is a great story and even if you wrote yourself into a deadend, it is still the fruit of your labor and with the redux it will show your growth as a writer.
i look forward to read your story once again and see where you made your changes and how much matches what i still remember.
Nah definitely don't want a new menu item. There are enough menu items as it is and I don't want to claim more of krytyk's real estate :3
I may just decide to make all new pages, since the only part of the story that really lines up 1:1 (vol1) doesn't have all that many comments.
Oh!!! I would love to see the revision of it! Specially we want to see some more kaeda badassery!
Just leave the old stuff up on here as is and tag it as OLD VERS. or DRAFT something
Man when I recieved that mail my morning brightened, hope it goes well
