Daybreak Dev Diary – Pivot of the Hyperion Setting

Posted on 2020-12-06 by Aorii

Many readers have asked me what Daybreak was about since my original 1st volume came out back in 2014, and it’s a topic I’ve written about before.

Daybreak Dev Diary: Progress, Redux Changes, and Kaede’s Tweaks

Belated Update and Reshuffling

Posted on 2019-01-14 by Aorii

A very belated double update for Eve. I realized after writing the next chapter that something was missing.
