Brief Update

The next release is coming soon. All that remains is to finish the special scene I'll detail (maybe) in the release post and a run through to catch as many bugs as I can before sending it on to all of you (something I probably should have done previously but I'm lazy).

Progress? (or Bogus Pomp)

Well the going has been a bit slow, but I'm getting there. I'm just finishing up a few scenes (you can see which ones on the right) and you may notice that I've added a few new things as well. I've instituted a new clothing system that's very limited in what it allows you to do and where you can wear the clothing, but it's a start. Additionally I've started a conversation between you and Shy. If you don't know who I'm referring to you may want to walk around the mall a bit and you should run into her eventually.

For now the clothing is being added to whenever I get around to putting in a new piece of clothing so I'm leaving it open-ended, but when the two other scenes are completed I'm not sure what I want to work on next. I fell I should add at least one more scene for those of you who've been waiting for me to actually do something (as the two scenes being completed aren't really that long) but I want to hold off on moving Raven forward until I've let the rest of the game get fleshed out a bit more.

I think I can limit myself to working on either polishing up Bornal, a random space encounter, a dream sequence, or an event that I had started working on earlier but stopped when I ran out of creative energy. Whichever one I start to plan first I'll probably have in the game for the next release, regardless of how long it takes me to do.

Oh, and bonus points for anyone who gets the reference for the title of this post.

News!

You know, a while back when I said I was going to try to limit myself to just a few items to work on so I could get an update out I was being honest about my intentions. Unfortunately my job gave me a serious case of the 'fuck its'. Every time I opened up the file and tried to work on what came next all I did was state at the screen for a minute or two before closing it and doing something else. This wasn't like the writer's block I had previously, I just didn't have the time or inclination to plan about where the game was going next.

Well that's changed now. I'm going to get back to working on the game soon and hopefully have an update ready sometime in November. I'm sorry for staying out of touch for a while, but without anything to say about the game I couldn't find any reason to post.
