Ok, I've been working when I can, it's kind of hard since I'm not used to sharing a computer >.>.
In any case, I've played through about...an hour and twenty minutes of the game, and I'm filling out my 'polish' list as I go. I expect that my beta-testers will find many more once it's ready (I said sign-ups, not send outs).
I still have a number of side-quests to finish off but because of them not really being dialogue heavy it shouldn't take me long. Most of it is already in place. The ones that might take me a little while is the Sewer puzzle (god I hate sewers) and the Deep Sea Research Center.
Right now my main concern is how unhappy I am about the Carnivale's state. It really just feels...broken. I don't like it and I really need to fix it. Most of the actual 'circle' levels are fine, it's mainly the hub area.
I've never really been satisfied with it to be honest. I think I'm going to have to make the tileset myself.
