Progress update 21-08-2022

Another week, and another huge benchmark passed. This week I'd like to talk about two things; the general writing process these days, and the release goal for the next update.

I wanted to talk about the writing process as this week we hit a huge milestone; the game has passed, 205951 written words. Merely a month ago it was 161625. For reference, the game now has about 800 pages of pure text in it. That is insane to me. To think that this silly game, which started as merely a hobby project, has grown to this size. It's the work of many contributors now, which includes all of you. Genuinely, thank you.

The process behind this might also interest some of you. One of the new co-writers came up with a system where I can input prompts or writing needed into a spreadsheet, and they can then easily see what needs writing, and at what priority. Not only that, but we can also easily track where everything stands when it comes to the coding. It's a surprisingly quick process, that allows for a LOT of fun things to be included!

As for the release date, I'm confident that by the end of September we can get the game in a shape that has PLENTY of content, and so much fun stuff that I can't wait to see people's responses! Until then of course, I will keep all of you up to date!
