Well, my story to tell

Ufff, finally I found some time. Thanks for your all messages. :) I appreciate your support and patience.

So, yeah, there's a story I want to share. I don't like excuses, so I didn't want to tell it before I could come back to you with - eve...

The Parity 0.40+

The part of the chapter 11, just to let you know that I'm still alive and I won't give this project up. :) The rest of the chapter will be published to the end of the month. ;)

Unfortunately, August doesn't have more than 31 days

I'm doing my best to publish the release, but my August was... well... busy, let's say. It's quite a story to tell, but I think I will share it with you after the release when it won't sound like a poor excuse. Now I owe you my apology, so... I'm ...

The scene from Caroline's path

As most of you (at least, most of you that answered my poll) follow Caroline's path, there's a scene that you can choose to attend. It will be almost impossible to get all the scenes about the lore behind the Parity during one game, so I'd publish...

The boy who saw and believed

Justin's path isn't your favorite, but still, he's an important character in the story. There are some scenes in the previous chapters that showed that there is some supernatural aura around him. In chapter 11, if chapter 10 ended with the encount...

Peek at chapter 11

Chapter 11 will be very long or very short. It depends on the previously unlocked paths. I thought that "getting everything together" will take less place, but it turned out that the conversations will dominate the chapter. But well, in chapter 13...

The serious relation with Martha

The Martha's path seems to be one of the favorite paths in the game. And, of course, there will be an ending to a steady relationship (just like the steady relationship with Olivier), and even it would be that way possible if Pauline changed back ...

Let's talk about Pauline

I was determined to finish chapter 10 quickly. It was difficult content to write, and a break didn't really help. Probably I didn't put some details well, maybe I will try to catch them up in further chapters. 

Because chapter 10 was mo...

Newest supporters' version - 0.40

Chapters 0-10.

I started to place the tips in the previous chapters. As it's hard to predict which passages I will use to resolve the confrontations, I would add the tips after that. So, they wouldn't be really helpful for the current game, ...

The first anniversary

I started to learn Twine and write The Parity exactly one year ago :) It took me around two months to code the mechanics and to plan the whole story. Now, with the nearly completed chapter 10 we are 234k words after that. 

I have to say...

Easier to follow the path

The most common objection to The Parity is that it's hard to follow the paths without the walkthrough. The switches of the plot show up rarely and only then you could see the points you got. I personally like it and it's easy to code for me. And I...

Happy news (I think ;) )

I have to announce that the break will be shorter than I thought, and you'll get chapter 10 in July, not in August. It's incredible how I feel now after the big stress connected to the planning the wedding during the pandemic. I'm full of energy a...

The relieving hand-writing

I want to share one thought with you that came to my mind yesterday when I was traveling the sub-urban bus. Generally, I used to spend a lot of time on the bus on my way to work. During those years I've read hundreds of books and I wrote hundreds ...

Let's talk about Martha

The popularity of Martha's path keeps surprising me. Probably most of the positive comments focus on Martha (and Olivier, but more on Martha). This is a character who has a growing influence on the story. 

Martha fulfilled a dream that ...

Peek at chapter 10

It turned out that chapter 10 will be the longest chapter in the story (102 passages). As usual, the most important choices are between Olivier and Martha paths. Martha's path will be connected with the political events, and will be one of the swi...

The walkthrough - PDF version

Another goal behind us

We've achieved $400 goal, and it's a really interesting coincidence, as there will be no new content for a while. So I will add some customization options (transformations by the Parity, more clothes etc.), chosen by you. And I'll write the detail...

The walkthrough to chapter 9

This walkthrough concentrates on the choices that are mentioned in the summaries. It doesn't include all the choices you can make during the game. There will be separate guides to different paths (related to some characters from the main cast) in ...

Thanks for being here

I have to say I'm really surprised how you all reacted to my announcement that there will be a break from updating The Parity. I expected that (temporarily, I hoped) many of you cancel your subscriptions, and I was totally cool about that. I belie...

Things in motion

So, we start the discussion about the lore and further plot. As I mentioned before, I already know that the game will be longer than 20 chapters. I don't know yet if 22 or 24 chapters will be enough. Still, my plans are to finish the game (with mo...

0.29a patch

There was a bug with clothes in chapters 3, 4 and 5, so there is a patch.

Newest supporters' version - 0.29

Luckilly, May has 31 days. :v I'm sorry for the delay. :) Chapters 0-9.

The short break

As you can see, there is no May update yet, however, I'm working on it. Unfortunately, my schedule was disturbed by many events in my personal life. I planned to write most of June's update in May and be ready to publish it before my wedding. I ca...

A little delay

Unfortunately, I need a couple of days more to release the next chapter. I was quite busy in May, as everything frozen during the lockdown has rushed suddenly - so I plan my wedding, write a book, renovate my flat and consult my lawyer about the i...

The hope for better English ;)

I bought the Premium Ginger, so hopefully my English will be easier to read. ;) Unfortunately, it wipes out the code. If I can't turn it off, I will write text and then format it. You can compare it to the scene I posted here earlier. :)

The point of view...

Ok, I promise it's the last post about writing and story. :P I'll give you a detailed walkthrough to Robert's path and I'll focus on writing chapter 9. But as writing chapters 7 and 8 caused that The Parity became my main goal, I had many occasion...

Peek at chapter 9

So, the next chapter ahead of us. :) I'm quite excited, as some detailed scenes came to my mind when I was thinking about this story a year ago, and finally, I can write them. :) Finally, there is a space for Dorothy's path, which, I suppose, isn'...

Let's talk about Robert (and Bimbo-Pauline)

I've planned to talk about Martha, but as Robert won the poll, I want to talk about him. I have to admit, I don't understand his constant popularity. ;) First PMs I got about the game were about him. Still, some people keep asking about his role i...
