Episode Three is released! I had hoped to have gotten this out before the end of August but life comes out you fast!! But it’s out now and ready to play!

This time we’re back in camp and getting to talk to some of the characters that weren’t on the mission with you in Episode Two, and also some group bonding activities to enjoy. I hope you have fun with it!

As I was writing, I also came to the realization that while this is a slice-of-life in some ways, it’s likely better described more akin to a Workplace Comedy sitcom more than anything, especially with the viewing of it in episodes like a TV series. The workplace being an Adventuring Guild rather than an office. I feel like it better represents the tone, and also I’ve always loved workplace comedies and they’ve had a large influence on my humour and writing. They’re incredibly character driven stories and that fits well with what I have planned for Silver Shields! While there are probably much more darker moments than in the sitcoms we recognize, I just wanted to tell stories about the ups and downs and complicated nature of living in a fantastical world with all of the baggage it carries.

Obviously this isn’t a TV show and doesn’t run one-to-one with how a sitcom flows, especially with having a perspective character and there are certain beats and B-Plots that filter through each episode, while this story is a lot more freeform. But it’s a starting reference for me for general tone and vibe rather than a strict guideline to follow!

Coming up next: Episode Four is going to be a doozy! While the word count will probably be in the same range as each episode (~10k), there will be the new addition of CGs and a CG Gallery! As well as new backgrounds for everyone’s tents as we get a little more personal! I’m excited to get started on working on it.

Beyond that, I have a few more things that are in the beginning stages that I can’t talk about just yet, but keep an eye out in the next couple of months for announcements!

Have a wonderful start to your Fall and have a lovely day!
