Alright, so I think I'm finally starting to feel capable of working on this some more. I've made some nice progress this weekend mapping some of the Northern Continent. Here's the screenshot if you haven't already seen it:



I'm also getting some work done on Lyonell Manor, which is a dungeon Epoch treads through in conjunction to Lee's scenario from the demo. I'm finishing up the NPCs and shops in Namu Station, as well as a pretty sweet cutscene that occurs on the train ride. It's still not quite how I want it, but it's looking pretty damn good.

Mapping the Northern Continent and its towns and dungeons will be a big challenge for me. I plan for the Kingdom of Dorent to be quite large, so I will try to tackle that bits at time. I may also just jump ahead and work on some of the later cutscenes I already have planned so I can focus on other things. And I've got some plans for some pretty awesome cutscenes!

Oh yeah, one other thing. I've got some really cool ideas for some new special character abilities. I don't want to give away any of the really juicy details, but I'll just say that Cyrus' has to do with his alcoholism, and Slade's has to do with an evil power inside him. Anyway, stay tuned!
