Also, Book Four will probably have the highest replayability of any DQ book to date. It will be impossible to experience all the content in one playthrough, based on your decisions.

I wish I could write them back to back, but I have to support myself financially throughout the writing process, so I simply can't afford to do so. Once Book Four is done, there will be a delay before I start the next one. However, the story won't be left on a frustrating cliffhanger. In many ways, the story will have its own beginning, middle and end - and will feel like a complete adventure... just one that has an extra 'season' promised. So I don't think there will be any feelings of frustration. (I hope!)

So I thought maybe Book 4 (Raiders of the Dune Sea) would be two books that you'd write one after the other, then promote and sell the two as a set on the Kickstarter, instead of releasing one 1,000+ page, 1,500+ section giant gamebook. But now it reads like you'll finish and Kickstart (a Legion of Shadow ability!) the first book, and while we receive and enjoy that, you'll write the second, differently-titled book, which will wrap up the Volume 1 character. Do I have this right?

If we do get Volume 1, then have to wait to wrap up the character, it will be a little frustrating, but kinda cool if we're left on a big cliffhanger. The wait for Fabled Lands has been much longer, so your readers should be fine.

Timewarped, in case you haven't checked out DQ's Facebook or Twitter, it's been announced that the Kickstarter kicks off on January 10th.

The same hero will carry across both books.

Wow thank you!

T-Man I try and avoid the most annoying aspects of social media if I can which doesn't help with keeping tabs on such wonderful developments. Two books now? Does that mean we get to carry our hero from one book to the next or will we play different heroes?

Shame about the delay on the Kickstarter but in some ways I don't mind as I can save up more money to spend when it goes live.

If you click on the "About" tab up top, then go to the bottom of that page, you'll find links to DestinyQuest's Facebook and Twitter accounts. Those have had more up-to-date info about the Kickstarter and the progress on the books (and also news like Book 4 will actually be two books). Though I understand some people have been trying to avoid such social media sites, and I can't really blame them.

Apologies for not having posted an update on the forums. The kickstarter has been delayed as we're trying to put together art assets - namely a cover! As soon as I know more I will post a proper update. I think it will be unlikely that the KS will be running this year now.
