The big blog post where Arad lays out a plan for Mente Materia, streaming, and the future! · 5:35am Oct 1st, 2018

Evening folks!

I know I owe all of you an explanation for why I've not written anything since the last chapter, but I don't want to drag this blog down so I'll summarize in twenty words or less: Work, health, depression, Warhammer 40k, family, freaking hurricanes, doctor visits.

Preliminary stream details and modlist! · 6:46pm Jul 10th, 2018

Afternoon again folks!

I'd like to thank everyone who replied to my previous blog, I'm really glad that there's so much interest! With that in mind, all success is 90% planning and 10% execution so I figure I'll start hashing out some details now rather than try and rush things right before I'm supposed to stream.

The Schedule:

Final chapter of The Sweetie Chronicles/Mente Materia crossover has been posted! · 3:14am Aug 29th, 2017

Evening folks!

Work is continuing for my Mente Materia chapter, I've settled on having a single 'short' chapter to break the hiatus before resuming my normal chapter lengths until the end of the series.

More immediately, however, I did want to share that the final chapter of the Mente Materia crossover with TSC has been released! Go read it and tell me what you think!

The end is in sight for the Mente Materia hiatus... · 1:49am Aug 4th, 2017

Evening folks!

First things first, I want to thank everyone who's been patient with me up to this point and kept the torch burning for the next chapter of Mente Materia. The last year has been pretty terrible for me work and health wise, but that's all about to change! In theory, I should be doing work from home full time sometime next week, which means I'll have significantly greater time to write as well as an environment that doesn't sap my energy or give me headaches.

For those who may be interested, TSC just updated with the first of the Mente Materia chapters. · 9:29pm Mar 7th, 2017

What it says in the title. Leave comments on what you think.

And my last blog should give a hint but I'll flat out say it, I am in no mood to deal with that debate from years ago about crossing Mente Materia with TSC. So, please keep your comments curteous and regarding the chapters events, not the meta debate about the decisions I've made as an author.

Thank you for your time.

State of the Stories (Part 4) · 4:19am Nov 16th, 2016

Good evening folks!

As some of you might have noticed, I've published a new story titled Nightmare. This is one of the stories I had included in the poll a couple of blogs back, and I got this little bit done in just a couple of days. This has me -extremely- optimistic that I can sneak in chapter updates for this story in between larger updates for other stories relatively simply.

Soon... · 2:28pm Nov 3rd, 2016

The next Mente Materia chapter has just been sent off to my prereaders and editors. Hoping to publish by the weekend! After that I'll be hammering out the first chapter for each of my other little ideas I mentioned in my previous blog so folks can see if they want to change their vote for my next little side project.

Anywho, talk to you later!

Afternoon folks!

First things first, I want to thank everyone who left a comment in the last blog. I don't think I realised it until I saw all of the comments, but I really needed some reassurance that folks were looking forward to what I will write in the future.

Good afternoon, folks! I just wanted to let folks know that I'm making good progress on the next two chapters of Mente Materia. The next chapter is going to be unique: It's going to be a collaboration between myself and all of my editors, and it should be ready by, say... Friday of next week. :trollestia:

HELP WANTED! (Project Spark and Mente Materia) · 2:19am Feb 29th, 2016

As discussed briefly in my previous blog, work is continuing (slowly) on the Project SPARK mod, and I think that I might have been a bit conservative in my initial thoughts about how many people will be needed.

SO! I'm putting out the call for skilled folks (two to three) to help with the following potential areas:

New Weapons (currently in process, being worked on by a very talented individual)
Soldier Class addition/modification (expected to be very time consuming here)
