New updates - Web Design, Categories, Support, Oh my!

Greetings,

The Recap:

It's been some time since the last update (cough, years, cough), and I just wanted to create a landing page for my coming audience. A lot has happened, many upgrades, and well...please check my twitter's #TN90Journey for further details (all 1000+ days of it).

The MVP:

The big highlight I'd say is regaining 10,000$ worth of budget. With it, I'm now able to give this an honest shot! Sorry, I would have started a Kickstarter, but...I guess it's not in the card (yet). So, I did it the old fashion way: Sacrifice a year of my life, work myself to the bone for corporate bosses, and saved aggressively. Now, we'll shoot for the impossible goal of all 3 books (Yes, 3, I've gotten them in a rough state) written and published by the end of this year.

With the budget, we've spent quite a bit to buy our domain name (TeamNeo90.com), along with several upgrades to how our work is produced. I am quite optimistic about our future.

The Future:

Looking ahead, we have a rough roadmap of where we're going. Our first book, no longer called 'Project Blue', 'Project Yellow', or 'Project Red', will officially be called 'Ritus', and is set to launch at the end of August of 2025. Our second, 'Stratos', will follow shortly, set to launch in October. Finally, our third, 'Terra', will launch in early December. In late December, a secret fourth book, titled the 'Scrap Book' will feature cut content and characters that couldn't make it in the official release.

These release dates and speed are not permanent. The books are released this fast solely because I've had years (hehe) to write them gradually. With three completed rough drafts, I can easily edit them and push them out at this speed. The follow is the expected schedule for 2026:

Team Blue's Branch (Ritus' Storyline - Book 2 release date): Q1/Q2 2026 (January~June)

Team Yellow's Branch (Stratos' Storyline - Book 2 release date): Q2/Q3 2026 (April~September)

Team Red's Branch (Terra's Storyline - Book 2 release date): Q3/Q4 2026 (July~December)

This may appear to be at a fast rate, but I remind you, I've had years to write the rough drafts, including the next books' (up to halfway of Terra Book 2). This buffer should allow me time to follow this schedule.

Regarding updates, they shall be made on the 15th of each coming month (even you, February), and will try to follow the above format. If not the 15th, please expect it on the last day of that month. Nothing is set in stone right now, so expect changes as I feel things out. Thank you for understanding.

Closing:

Hopefully, there will be no long droughts of radio silence like this in the future. I plan to try my best and stick with this schedule. I thank you once again for your patience, and implore you to please browse the many platforms available as of right now:
