Act XVI Progress

I'm back at working on Act XVI, the final Act of Love of Magic. Let's have a look at how the progress breaks down.

Calendar Events

Act XVI is 22 days long (stretching from day 266 to 288). It's an extremely busy act, with at least one event every day. By the end of the weekend it should be done up to day 275, so almost half-way.

Writing: 50%
Rendering: 60%

Optional Events
In addition to the calendar events I'm looking at adding a number of optional side-stories and events. At the moment I'm looking at ~15-18 of these, chatting with characters like Xochi, Diana, or Samael to understand the story, resolve your relationships with them and in general letting the story find it's natural conclusion.

I'm done with 7/16 of these, though most of ones that require custom renders are complete. 

breakdown:
Writing: 50%
Rendering: 90%

Cleanup
There's a LOT of work left to clean up the world; hiding events that aren't supposed to trigger and guarding everything so the world reflects the changes at the end of Act XV. This will be an ongoing effort; I'd guess I'm about 50% done.

Epilogue
The final sequence of the game are short looks at what happens after the end of the game. Some of them will be optional, while others will be mandatory. All in all I expect ~10 smaller events like that, of which I've rendered 3. Having said that, the two largest ones have already been rendered, and the rest are largely 2-3 image sequences. 

breakdown:
Writing: 10%  
Rendering: 50%

TL;DR?
I'm a little under halfway through, and I think I'm still on track to complete the game before the end of September. Since that's when I started the game, 4 years ago, there's a nice symmetry to completing it then :)

As always you can grab latest update from the development branch on Steam. I give out Steam keys to any supporter that wants one.
