It's been quite a while since I made any kind of update to this page, but I thought I should let you all know that there's a new addition to the writing force behind this game: user Desertopa has joined the team! Alongside myself and Corfaisus, who not only created all of DFR's maps, but also proofread's the script, Desertopa's addition bumps the writing team's number up to THREE members! This occurred a while ago, mind you, but I'd like to get back into keeping you folks up-to-date with this game's progress.

For fun, I suppose I should include a sample of the dialogue; from the start of the game, of course, and only a bit!

\c\s????\c
Hey, you!

\c\s????\c
What the hell are you doing in here? Don't
you know where this place leads to?

\c\sCeles\c
Excuse me? Of course I do. These caves are the
quickest route to Old Yurudos.

\c\s????\c
You must not be from around here, lady. Nobody
goes to Old Yurudos. The place is a ghost town,
figuratively and literally. There's nobody to

\c\s????\c
visit there, and the sights are guaranteed to
be a drag.

\c\sCeles\c
I appreciate your concern, whoever you are, but
I have business there. You can consider your
warning delivered.

\c\s????\c
Now hold on there!

\c\s????\c
My name's Sando, and I'm a member of the Castle
Guard. Watching out for people without the sense
to look after their own heads is part of the job.

\c\sCeles\c
How flattering. If you're part of the Castle
Guard, I take it you're also involved in the
search for the Princess?

\c\sCeles\c
That's my business here. So please, don't
impede it.

\c\sSando\c
Well, miss, if you don't mind my saying so, that
sounds like a kings-damned, bloody stupid idea.

\c\sSando\c
Didn't anyone ever tell you it's not safe for
a young lady to travel unaccompanied in places
crawling with the spirits of the restless dead?

\c\sCeles\c
Pardon me, but I'm here by His Majesty's own
request.

\c\sCeles\c
The Castle Guard should be the last people to
try to stop me. This business with the left
hand not knowing what the right hand is doing

\c\sCeles\c
is extremely irritating.

\c\sSando\c
His Majesty put the safety of his only daughter
in the hands of a lone woman who's never shown
her face at the castle before?

\c\sSando\c
Finally, everything makes sense again!

\c\sSando\c
But seriously, miss, pull the other one. You
should come back with me before something
really bad happens.

\c\sCeles\c
That's charming. I really don't have the
time to waste here.

\c\sCeles\c
I don't intend to harm a man who's attempting to
uphold his duty, but I can't speak for what the
king will do if he finds one of his own subordinates

\c\sCeles\c
has attempted to prevent the person he charged
with saving his daughter from carrying out
her mission.

\c\sSando\c
You seriously...? Who ARE you, and why would
His Majesty send YOU to rescue his daughter?

\c\sCeles\c
I am Celes, and His Majesty gave me the task
because I am the Savior entrusted with safeguarding
the fate of mankind.

\c\sSando\c
You're the prophesised Savior, huh? Sounds to
me like His Majesty's gotten pretty desperate.

\c\sCeles\c
Thanks for the vote of confidence, but it really
doesn't matter if you believe me or not.

\c\sCeles\c
I'm not turning back, and attempting to stop
me will only make your own life difficult.

\c\sCeles\c
Now if you'll excuse me, this interlude is a
headache I'll be glad to have behind me.

\c\sSando\c
Wait, wait!

\c\sSando\c
If you're really going, then the least I can
do as a castle guard is to accompany you.

\c\sSando\c
I have a duty to Her Highness to fulfill as well.
If anyone's really planning to face up against Vlad
to save her, then I should be there.

\c\sSando\c
Besides, if you say you're the Savior, I want to
take a look for myself. Who knows, maybe these
eyes'll see a real miracle.

\c\sCeles\c
Oh kings' grace... After all that, you're
going to turn around and follow me?

\c\sSando\c
It's all I can do. And even if you are the
Savior, if you're up against the Archmage,
you'll need all the help you can get.

\c\sCeles\c
Fine then. Go ahead and follow me. But take
care that you watch after your own skin.

\c\sSando\c
Will do, miss. Will do.

Although progress is going slow, it's going GOOD, and hopefully it will be only a little under a year before this game's completed and released to the public!
