Status Update #34 - September 14, 2025

Added 2025-09-15 01:50:28 +0000 UTC

I've been writing a lot this week as per usual...the script for the next release is just about done, after which I can finally get started with programming everything in. I've been writing in such long sessions that I inevitably end up thinking everything I'm doing is terrible by the end, which is always fun. I am interested in whether people will think I pulled off the increase in scale from Episode 1 to 2...the first episode is pretty intimately about one thing, and this one is going to add a number of new concepts and ideas. It's almost like a Hobbit to LOTR type situation. I take solace in the fact that people liked the first episode and I felt exactly the same way while I was writing it.

Hopefully I'll be announcing the release dates a week from now...but no promises. I'm only comfortable doing so when I have a concrete timetable for when I'll have all of the art together. In addition to working on the script, this week I added a feature to the game that enables optional colour coded character names. I personally like the names all being the same colour, but the feature was requested a few times, so I don't see why not!

That's all from me for this week. Please enjoy the preview image of Duvessa and Erika interacting with a brand new character you've never seen before! XD
