  2023 saw the completion of my project after a long period of hardships. Bridges were burned, research and up-dates were done, and in the end I'm satisfied with Lands of Fire as a whole. Will I make fu... Continue reading
• Final update, ahead of birthday
  June 17, 2023 by mullerornis

  25

  Simply modified the glossary intro for Malingee after some research. Seeing as this is both during pride month and just a few days before my birthday, I might as well use it as an excuse to vent. My d... Continue reading

  May 01, 2023 by mullerornis

  27

  Fixed the remaining grammar issues and altered the Yara-mara-yha-who entry. I've been reflecting a lot since the official final update. My future is uncertain. I'm about to receive a large fund that c... Continue reading

• Build 33: Not the end yet, but side stories!
  January 27, 2023 by mullerornis

  19

  So as noted last time build 33 won't be the last as previously hoped. I decided to instead use this build to create side stories, as is vogue in FVNs now. There was also some tweaks in the main route,... Continue reading
• Notes on the final releases
  January 24, 2023 by mullerornis
