Adventures In Text Game Coding

In addition to writing the books in my Amderesta The 3rd/4th Republic Series and Amderesta The Alcasian Conflict Series, I am currently in the process of coding a console-based sci-fi text adventure game in VB.NET named Avverans and Terridans. Below, is an image of Avverans and Terridans running in a console window on Windows 10.  Those who like to check it out can go to http://www.amderestathe4threpublic.com/downloads, and download the Avverans and Terridans .exe file. This console-based application is free to download, but not open-source.

Formatting Changes

Hope those reading this latest blog post had a Merry Christmas if you observed it and a Happy New Year.

I'm currently in the process of making paragraph formatting changes to the ten currently published books in the Amderesta The 3^rd/4^th Republic Series which include things like font size, spacing between paragraphs and other changes along those lines. While I'm working on these changes, I'll continue to write more on my 2^nd Amderesta The Alcasian Conflict book which I plan to resume serialization on eventually, along with Amderesta The 4^th Republic #10.

Another Year of NaNoWriMo

As some of you are aware, I've been working on writing my second book in my Amderesta The Alcasian Conflict Series and eleventh book in my Amderesta The 3^rd/4^th Republic Series. Both of which I've been serializing on Wattpad. However in two and quarter days from now, I'll be taking a break from my current works in progress to attempt to write another 50,000 word novel during November. For this year's NaNoWriMo novel, I'll be digging deep into the backstory of the Amderesta Universe for it's plot.

World-Building

When you are writing books set at different points of your series' in-universe chronology like I'm currently doing with my 2^nd Amderesta The Alcasian Conflict book and 11^th Amderesta The 3^rd/4^th Republic Series book, keeping the in-universe chronology straight can be a challenge at times. Especially with two concurrent book series set alongside a particular book in the series. The aforementioned 2^nd Amderesta The Alcasian Conflict book is set alongside the sixth through the eighth chapters of 9^th Amderesta The 3^rd/4^th Republic Series book for example. Thus any references to concurrent events would have to come from those chapters.

Serializing Second ATAC Book

As this point in time I have written the first seven chapters of my second Amderesta The Alcasian Conflict book and will continue to write until it's completed. The fully written chapters will be serialized on Wattpad starting next Friday over the next several weeks. As this book picks up where the first ATAC book ended, you might want read through that one first. Below is a list of dates when each chapter will be uploaded.

8/8/2014 Chapter One

8/15/2014 Chapter Two

8/22/2014 Chapter Three

8/29/2014 Chapter Four

9/5/2014 Chapter Five

9/12/2014 Chapter Six

9/19/2014 Chapter Seven

Chapters Eight through whatever will be serialized a few afterwards once they've been written.

 

Writing Update

Earlier today I somehow managed to get some more writing done on my current works-in-progress, Amderesta The Alcasian Conflict #2 and Amderesta The 4^th Republic #10. With all of the distractions that a modern computer like the one I'm using to typing this blog post on, no wonder George RR Martin uses an ancient computer to write his novels on. That's what I've read online. Hopefully I'll manage to get several more chapters written on my works in progress.

Planned serialization of Second ATAC book

Recently I self-published the first book in my concurrent Amderesta The Alcasian Conflict Series, after serializing it on Wattpad between December 2013 and March of this year in print and Kindle formats. Currently I have begun to write the second book in the aforementioned series which as of this blog post has four completed chapters. My intention is to first write several chapters of Amderesta The Alcasian Conflict #2, then serialize those chapters on Wattpad. As for when I’ll start serializing the currently being written novel, I haven’t decided when I’ll start to do so.
