Hey there! First things first, I'll admit that I'm not sure what sort of things you'd all find interesting to read about concerning 1000 Gates. I'm kind of just winging it here and talking about whatever part of writing or development is on my mind, so please feel free to ask any questions you might have.Last month was partially spent with me being distracted by both the holidays and moving my new housemate in.

Hey there! First update after the discontinuation of Nine Gates, which feels kind of weird. This month I wanted to discuss what you can expect from 1000 Gates - This Cycle Cannot Be Terminated (Just 1000 Gates for short) as a project, and share a bit about the characters.Firstly, 1000 Gates WILL be a visual novel, but it wont be a complete reboot and retelling of the plot of Nine Gates.

Nine Gates has always been a product of spontaneity ever since I first conceptualized it sometime in 2021. I didn't actually have a name for the comic until I'd finished drawing the tenth page, and I didn't even know what the Nine Gates were until sometime during Chapter 4.Following the conclusion of Volume 1, I finalized the outline of the story arc and found that there were many plot threads that I couldn't tie up concisely.

As expected, I didn't get very much work done over September. Between moving and doing commission work to pay bills I didn't have much drive to, but I'm very ready to get back to it this month. I don't have a particular goal in mind right now, so this post will be a tad shorter than the previous few updates.
