This week I kept my focus on fleshing out the scripting for the events. Much like editing a video, cranking out these scenes takes me a couple of playthroughs to really get them just right. All told, I’ve put in around 25 hours of work this week alone.
The good news is that things are progressing smoothly. From a story standpoint, the update is now playable to about the halfway point. As I go through it, I keep tweaking small things here and there, and each pass makes the experience feel just a little more polished.
If I had to put a number on it, I’d say the update is roughly 70% complete. At this pace, I should be able to get a working demo into the hands of my testers right before I head off on my Japan trip! My next focus is scripting the largest scene of this update so far, which is a big milestone in itself. There’s still plenty left to do, but I can finally see the finish line for this update out in the distance—and I can’t wait for you all to play it once it’s ready!
Until next week, everyone!
