Just a quick update on the new content I promised. I had been hoping to get it done by the New Year (yes, 2025), but right now I'm thinking end of February is more realistic.
Long story short, I've been developing this new content under the George R. R. Martin model of game development. Instead of sticking to the relatively small scope of the content, I went off on all kinds of tangents fixing hardly noticeable issues and adding new features that had little to do with the actual side quest. (As an example, I needed to add a new item you have to purchase as part of the side quest. I could have just added this item to an existing shop, or made a new shop in an existing location. Instead, I decided to create the interior of a whole building. Then I added a bunch of other stuff to the building to fill it out.)
As with George R. R. Martin, the feature creep has caused the schedule to slip a little bit. Unlike George R. R. Martin, I am actually going to finish the thing.
