File 03's mystery has now been outlined!
It's definitely been a while since last time. A lot of the time, I don't want to put out a devlog until I actually make significant progress or reach a milestone, and now I can finally say that I've finished my basic outline for File 03's mystery, which will aid me a lot in writing the next three chapters.
This next file's mystery has a different tone from the previous two. I'm also going to try not to "clump" puzzles too much, because I think File 02 had too many too close together and it got a bit tiresome. This was not feedback I specifically received, just something I noticed while watching people play the game.
I tried to create a mystery that both Joane and Catscratcher would cook up together. In many ways this mystery is a prelude to File 06... I hope you're looking forward to seeing what Team Nailbiter has in store for Team Tads.
Now writing begins on Chapter 12.
Until next time!
