Hello all!

It's been about three months since the last proper update devlog, so I thought I'd give a quick update on where everything is going.

I don't have too much to cover today, nor do I want to draw things out by embellishing the more mundane aspects of development. But I have hit one or two noticeable milestones over the past few weeks that should give a better idea of where everything stands.

I think we can cut to the chase and pull out the ol' Progress Chart.



It doesn't look like a whole lot has changed - and you'd be right! I'm still working on Chapter 4, and I've simultaneously taken a detour to begin working on some parts of Chapter 5. The short version for that is: cutscenes are pretty exhausting! Realizing that a game does not need to be developed completely linearly has been something of a blessing, and I've taken the time to work on other parts of the game instead of bashing myself against a wall to get the next part of the story implemented.

I have also been working on the big optional dungeon, the Expanding Void. The entire dungeon is now mapped and evented, with lots of treasure to find, some light puzzles to solve, and plenty of fearsome enemies to chase you down. Considering this is almost half of the game's content, this is definitely a great thing to get out of the way.

In addition, graphics for every non-boss enemy in the game have been completed. Most of the bosses have been made, as well, including most of the ones that use sideview battlers instead of standard battler graphics.



Uh, I don't have too much else to really go over today, but just know things are going pretty well for the most part. It's kind of hard to put a percentage number on how far along the project is as a whole. It's considerably more than halfway at this point, though. All the hard stuff has been done and out of the way for quite some time now. It's just a matter of finishing up the rest of the actual content.

I guess that's it! I'll see you all next time.
