So, the hiatus was a little shorter than expected, but I recently started working on this project again. I'm starting on the character portraits again, and I did some other art for the game as well.

I finished up Cillian' portrait. Siglud's is done, all I have to do is send him to Ronnie so she can ink him in. ^^


Mr. Uppity Redhead, as I call him.


Oh, and this is a full-body sketch of Laine with Eschaton. I redesigned the sword since I wasn't happy with its current design. I do love my BFSs.

Unfortunately, no new areas or screenshots to show you guys. What I have done so far is the following: I did this before I went on my hiatus, lol.

- Shortened the introductory cutscene. Players get to control Laine in 3 minutes max. No 10-15 minute long cutscenes here ( not that it occurs in the current demo either ).
- Fixed up several passability issues.
- Formatted the text boxes properly ( oh, the details, details ).
- Changed Siglud's starting weapon from a 2-handed Iron Poleaxe to an axe and a sword. I want players to know he can dual-wield weapons. ^^
- Tightened up some cutscenes, and took out unneccessary emotional fluff between Laine and Patrick ( since the scene only occurs around 1.5 hours in, the players aren't yet accustomed to these 2 yet. It should build up over time ).
- Better direction for players as to where to go, since this game does very little hand holding.
- Finished up the cliffhanger ending for Chapter 2. Is Laine going psycho? That's all I'm saying.

So, that's what I've got so far. Playtime is still running at 5.5 hours, which should be enough to satisfy you guys, right?
