Life is Strange - All Wounds (Post-canon PriceField Fic)
You need time, huh? That’s hilarious, coming from you. Time doesn’t heal all wounds, Maxine. You dipshit. Where the hell do you think scars come from?
Current fic wordcount: ~66k
Current game progress: Chapter 1 in production

Like with Versatility (Clementine & Jane, TWD), I’m inspired to explore the dynamics of a relationship through dual-perspectives, bouncing back and forth to highlight the complexities of two people who’ve grown to care for each other through some rough shit.
Also like Versatility, expressing
themes of guilt, angst, survivor’s guilt, self-hatred, and other
negative, complex things like that – and how characters might find ways
to deal with and move on from them, through each other. I do think that LiS’s other ending is the “better” ending (mainly because it was developed more), but this ending inspires me so much more to create.
Plus, I was really inspired by the nightmare sequence in the finale. Combined with my affinity for PriceField, it’s proving to be some satisfyingly dark romantic content to work with.

Music:
Original OST tracks are being made but probably will be a while until we have any to share. In the meantime, a lot of the music used in the game is from Koethe’s amazing YouTube channel!
VISUAL NOVEL:
I have officially started work on a visual novel adaptation of this project…The first version has been released, and includes a tutorial and a fully functional version of chapter 1, though much of the art is still missing, as well as some sound.
You can follow updates on this project at the dedicated blog, @lis-allwounds.
(1/31 Update): Chapter 7 - Ratio has been posted!
VN progress: I’ve begin coding Chapter 2; I’ve done a lot of tweaks to Chapter 1 visually, but I’m still waiting on some visuals, plus I want to comb through the text a bit. The next update will contain a revised version of Chapter 1 and a prototype of Chapter 2. I plan to get that up in about a week or two.
Keeping that LiS fandom alive 💪🏻
