𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐦 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞!

Since job hunting and fending off job scammers is a full time job with mandatory overtime, I have not had time to update the code for my game. But that doesn't mean I've been idle! Instead, I have spent my reduced time working on a story that I want to include in the puzzles as well as some concept art for a new title screen that incorporates the logo design.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤?

I haven't fully figured out how I am going to make these longer story excerpts work, I suspect I need to rework the story delivery design. But here is some of the text my AIs and I worked on for the story featured in the image:

𝑳𝒖𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒐𝒔: 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 "𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝑽𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏" - 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒕 1 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑭𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑫𝒂𝒚

The domed ceiling of the Kethaneum's central chamber reflected the light of a thousand knowledge crystals. A hum of anticipation buzzed in the air. One by one, representatives from the founding realms gathered around the Concordance Table. Together, Luminos and I stood as equals, our complementary visions having created this unprecedented nexus of cross-realm understanding.

"𝘓𝘦𝘵 𝘶𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘶𝘴," I reminded the chamber as I activated the Crystal of Principles. Above, glowing words materialized to display the seven principles of the Kethaneum: Universal Accessibility, Collaborative Stewardship, Knowledge Integration, Truth Primacy, Seeker Autonomy, Reciprocal Exchange, and Evolutionary Understanding.

I continued, "𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘨𝘶𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘬 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘴." My taking Luminos' hand in a gesture of solidarity should have been the foundation for all that followed.

Yet, at the end of the ceremony, Luminos lingered with the delegation from the Empirical Realm. When other representatives began to filter out of the room, the Chief Empiricist said to him "Your singular vision made this possible."

They thought I could not hear them as they spoke and presented Luminos with their highest honor. Then they added, "The Kethaneum will forever bear your distinct imprint." I watched Luminos accept with practiced humility, but there were still signs... The subtle straightening of his posture, the almost imperceptible nod of agreement. At the time, I thought it a small moment, a small change. Perhaps it was insignificant. Perhaps not...

However, please note that while I won't fault scammers for looking at my profile, scam messages will get reported. I ask that you refrain from sending fake offers, please and thank you. 😊
