Chapter 1.3 Update

Updates for this month have mainly consisted of a lot of coding corrections behind the scenes. I had to go back and re-code several parts of chapter 1 that I had coded incorrectly. Thankfully, I caught most of the issues before coding additional chapters, so though it was a bit time consuming, overall nothing too crazy. This most recent update will also include a clear line at the end of the chapter denoting where chapter 1 ends. I apologize for any confusion the lack of clarity caused. Chapter 1 ends after MC's conversation with Prophet, right before they gear up to start their journey. This will now be noted in the last passage of the chapter.

Life has been crazy,  I apologize to those of you I haven't been able to respond to yet in Itch.io comments or tumblr asks. I'm hoping to set aside some time to do so soon.  Getting caught up on everything will probably take me a couple weeks, but it is definitely on the top of my to-do list <3

On another note, Primal, my other IF, was unfortunately deindexed as part of the recent wave of censorship sweeping across Itch.io and Steam. I won't speak too much about it here since this is meant to be a monthly devlog update for SilverBound, but I posted about it on my tumblr blog for anyone interested in learning more. I'm not sure how it will affect SilverBound moving forward- I had planned on incorporating optional 18+ scenes in later chapters. I may have to consider offering these sections through another medium if the recent changes made on Itch.io are not rolled back. The main game will continue to be available on Itch.io regardless, but I may offer the 18+ scenes through another platform. 

Nothing is set in stone yet. With any luck, the recent changes will be temporary. Till then, take care and let's keep applying pressure to the payment processors responsible for these censorships!
