Progress Update

Added 2024-06-30 08:23:36 +0000 UTC

Quick development update, and some forward looking thoughts.

Morningstar just updated to 0.4.20 (Day 92), and Act V is happily chugging along. Apart from the Act end (Day 93), I've also got the remaining double-date (Path of Light / Path of Fire) on Day 87 to complete. I'd guess another couple of weeks until it's all done.

Apart from the regular calendar-based content this update's also including new updates to Snowdrop, Saoe, Lin and Mu Lau / Saffron.

The Combat System rewrite is more or less complete; the new system is cleaner and neater (and online, so players can check out the actual ingame data). I've still got some bugs to smoke out before I'm happy with it, but the functionality seem to work fine.

Looking forward, End of September might be doable for the end of content. Realistically I think it'll push to October; there's a lot of big story-based chunks towards the end, and those usually end up taking a while to put together. There's also all the little book-keeping tasks that will need to be done at the end (making sure quests all tie up neatly, achievements, etc).

Once Morningstar's done I've got two other things I'd like to spend some time on; NG+ for Book 2/3, and exploring the next game. Likely I'll put together a demo of the first day or two for Patreons some time towards the end of Morningstar; it'll make a nice change of pace.
