The Chaos Star saga is over.. and with that, the World 3 arc (which started almost 2 years ago) finally draws to a close!
If it doesn’t quite feel like an ending, well… it sort of isn’t. We only made it about halfway through what I originally had planned for this arc. The trouble is, the Chaos Star hunt – which I originally envisioned as a fun little treasure hunt story – wound up growing into a sprawling year-long epic. I thought it made sense to have a clean break after all of that comes to a close.
I also kind of want a chance to back off from all the plot and cosmic intrigue. I am going somewhere with all of that stuff! But I don’t want it to overshadow the characters and actually having fun with this dumb video game world they live in. Hopefully I can refocus on that… in World 3 & Knuckles! (Okay I’ll probably just call it World 4).
But yeah, this shouldn’t feel like an ending. There are places we’re going with Rog, and Perry, and Sluri, Arika, Ted, Metafoblin, Hud, Number… heck, even Darrk probably has a half-decent story coming down the pipes. We are heading towards an ending – we’re just not there yet.
The other reason why this shouldn’t feel like an ending: we haven’t gotten through the EPILOGUE yet! (See how I buried the lead on you?) Check back next week to find out what that’s going to be.
