My "quick side project" is done! I had intended to 1- post about this earlier and 2- finish this much sooner so it wouldn't interfere with the comic update, but work picked up and this turned out to be much more time-consuming than I expected, so here we are. :'D

Cory's Quest is a choose your own adventure story that features Cory, a dog owned by Yin's uncle, as she takes care of the family farm while everyone else is worried about some weird smoke (that was definitely not caused by Lasardhi and there's also definitely no war crimes or body horror in this very normal dog story).

If you've been following me for a while, you may remember seeing me post a partial version of the story via the polls when they were first released. I've always wanted to properly finish the story and flesh out some of the other choices into an actual branching narrative. And despite needing to trim down some stuff due to time and medium limitations, it's now a finished thing!

Cory's Quest is currently available to buy here during the SpiderForest We <3 Webcomics digital fair this month. Regardless of your interest in CQ specifically, I highly encourage you to check out the other comics available there as well! A portion of the sales goes to SpiderForest to help keeping things running. After the fair has concluded, I will eventually add the story to my online store in case you missed it. Normal comic updates will resume in October.
