We're finally reaching the finish line, so I've got some new stuff to share this time around in terms of what's been done and what's to come!
What's Been Done
The most important question of all, what's been done so far and how close is the game to being finished? Well good news is, every playable level is complete and a majority of the cutscenes have been finished. I'm currently developing the final level's boss fight segment and will soon be working on all of the endings to the game. After that, I should be able to officially say the game is "finished!"
What's To Come?
Once the final boss fight is finished and all the cutscenes have been wrapped up, it'll just be a matter of play testing and end-game implementation stuff. Planning on going back and polishing older parts of the game and it's storyline to keep it in line with the quality of the newer stuff I've worked on recently. I know I would love to spruce up and expand upon the Prologue to better establish these characters and their motives. The Patreon demo from 2022 didn't give the players enough time to really connect with these characters, so I want to improve upon that when I get the chance. Other than that, it'll just be sprucing up older areas of the game, touching up dialogue and finishing up some backend stuff before I'm able to officially announce a proper and concrete release date!

The End
And that's the end of this post. I'm very hyped to finish this project, been in the development pipline for almost two and a half years now and I'm so excited to get it out there and hear your thoughts on it! And in case you missed it, I uploaded a short gameplay segment of one of Act 4's levels two weeks back, so be sure to check it out if you haven't. With that, I bid you farewell and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your Sunday.
