Hey everyone!
I hope everyone is safe and sound.
April's update (968) is now public so head over to your favorite hub and DL it if you haven't played yet.
The next update (978) is mostly written. I actually have enough raw content for at least two updates I think. It is just a matter of editing and putting things into the engine. I have a lot of content that is like A B C D _ F G _ I ... so even though I have nearly the alphabet (an update) I am still missing some connecting scenes before I can release. I also did a few hours of "technical learning" and finally crossed off a couple basic things I wanted on my wish-list for a long time. I am also going to give Tweego a serious shot to see if I can speed up the final development stage.
The next update has Evan content to go along with the fixes made in the last version. I also have a lengthy Taylor vs Taylor area with scenes that show off a lot of Taylor Roux's powers.
The Corps polls have several characters with high vote counts (Julie, ZMP, two friends, Drew, Ryan etc) so I've been doing some brainstorming in many of those areas to flesh out the scenes I already have written / planned.
I also remapped the end of Evan's path, Drew's path, and Taylor vs Taylor so that I know how various choices will direct into different ending pools. I still intend to add another variable tracking system to the decisions but that seems less relevant now that I have original paths. I like both the idea of having completely unique paths and the idea of having a single narrative that changes based on the sum of your choices rather than minor appearing individual ones. It's a bit tough though because minor appearing choices are often some of the most important you can make in life, depending on the effects they have.
Anyway, lots of irons in the fire. A new release shouldn't take too long.
Thanks for sticking with me!
