An Unreal Tournament 99 inspired project.
09/02/2025 - The aim is to publish 1 to 2 chapters every week. So far 15 chapters have been written, without go-overs and corrections. With more chapters down the line being worked on, while the concepts and overarching themes are covered sufficiently. Volume wise most of the chapters are less than 2k words, with occasional cuts inbetween changes of the scenes.
The aesthetics are fluid, changing from tropical, to industrial settings, some relevant to STEKI project and some, more abstractly set into other natural or unatural aesthetics.
Thematically the world is a sci-fi setting, with some magical realism to describe the world and the mystical mindsets of a certain type of characters called Claimants.
17/02/2025 - Chapter 4 and 5 added.
01/03/2025 - Chapter 6,7,8 added.
07/04/2025 - Chapter 9,10 added. Redux of content structure.
11/04/2025 - Chapter 11,12 added. Uh... I guess I lied with the 2k word count volume.
24/05/2025 - Chapter 13,14,15 added. Taking a small step away from arena battles, the next arc focuses heavily on the Claimants instead. Personally, I feel that this arc builds up into something trully extravagant and violent, with prose and rythm that suits the setting and perhaps this might be the peak of the IC, blending all the themes homogenously. No more talk of what is coming. I am especially proud of chapter 15, as it satisfies a homely itch while showcasing the human depths of a Claimant.
