Based on feedback we are completely rewriting The Dark Is A Cold Lonely Shadow Book 1 - Within That Dark A Single Flame. Book 1 is being split into two. Those who've read book 1 have basically read early version of book 1 and book 2. Keeping each book to 600 page limit is proving near impossible.

Book 1. Complete rewrite. Still way over page count despite splitting in half and cutting out 5 chapters.
Book 2. 90% done way over word count may need a book 2.5
Book 3. 50%
Book 4. 35%
Book 5. 20% Final scenes of final book done.
Book 0 [Pre-Book 1] - 25%
Book 0.1 [Pre-Book 2] - 30%
Started work on graphic novel.
Images From Our Incoming Minecraft "Beam Pack" & Prototype. Aegis Ships! Working through multi-player issues and almost ready for Alpha but texture pack is available on Modrinth.
Book 1 being entirely rewritten and shortened based on feedback and it being 240% over word and page count. There are mistakes to be fixed, changes required and improvements incoming. This is far from the finished version.
Free digital copies of latest draft (full book) are available, but due to rewrite you might need to wait until we have the restructure done. Kindle format is also available. All we ask for is genuine feedback...

The [SECRET] Vault - [SECRET]
*This is the proposed format. Some bonus content will be provided when available/complete. Due to Book 1 exceeding word and page count, some bonus content will now be eBook/Kindle, not in the physical book. Every special limited edition book will be uniquely tagged. This will be required along with verification to access: NFT's, bonuses, early access, servers, unique content, etc... eg: "The Arena and The [SECRET] Vault"
** A number of copies will be given away for free to schools, libraries, supporters, proof readers, competition winners, potential publishers, etc. It is unlikely we will make any profit on the initial limited run. If we do, 5% will go to verified children and orphan charities. A small number of copies will be held in storage. These will have additional bonus content and a unique NFT. These will be auctioned off at later dates, with 50% of the resulting sale going to charity (and the rest going to funding this project and future books). Main future books will have a percentage of profits going to children's charities.
^^ Most techniques we use in our videos: databases, effects, sequencing, textures, glowing (the thing everyone wants), music, sound FX, mirrors. Everything which people want and nobody else can work out how we did. We will release it when we are ready. And yes, it includes the glowing and mirror techniques...
[SECRET] - They are SECRET mainly because they contain spoilers.
