Hi everyone! Time for this week's update.

This Week's Summary:

• Finished the remaining CGs
• Finished all the remaining minor characters
• And Bobs
• Sent the route to beta testers

The Ramble:

This week I was able to wrap up the route and send it for beta testing to find errors.

I finished up the remaining CG related stuff including the CG for the passionate ending. Once that was done, I was able to focus on and finish all the remaining sprites (Which were all extras and/or very minor characters).

Once those were all coded and set up I was able to do a few little house keeping things and do a few final touches on the walkthrough and content guide and...

Finally...

Push the route out for testing.

I haven't started looking at the corrections sheet yet (and will give it a few more days before I check it.)

Sneak Peeks:

Endings! (I forgot to put these in the beta build LoL! But they are there now!)

And here is my counter for Reuben's route. LoL! I set my deadline for November 15, which gives me about two months to draft the route. As you can see, I need to write 1504 words per day between now and then in order to get the route finished by then.

Upcoming Week:

I will probably start working on Reuben's route while I let the beta testers do their thing. I may check in and make some Quill corrections this week but at this point it'll be nice to get started on the next thing.

Reuben's route has one chapter completed, and additional 14,000 words of outline and summary for the remaining chapters.

I'm a little worried about how this route is going to turn out since there's a "mystery" element and I'm a little outside my comfort zone with mysteries. But I really like Reuben as a character so I'm looking forward to getting his route done.

I'm hoping that, since I cleaned up the outline in advance, the drafting process will go smoothly.

And that is all for now. I'm not sure how long Quill's route will be in beta testing. It just depends how long it takes everyone to get through the content and actually test it thoroughly.

In the meantime, I'll be starting to write the next one! 

I also need to REALLY remember to make the little images for the Steam achievements. I keep forgetting. Coming up with little icons is always so hard. I'm going to have to do some brainstorming for it this week. 💪

Anyway, that's it for this week. I shall see you next time. 

I maaaay have a midweek post coming up for some tiers. But we'll see. It's waiting on an outside event so I don't know! Keep an eye out though!
