DevLog (Finally Some F*cking Good News Edition)

Soooo

I'm not sure what gods finally smiled on me but they did and I reaallly needed it. 

I'm actually caught up with the update and I'll admit that I feel good about it. I just finished the first runthrough of the rough draft and I'll honestly say I'm pretty happy with it. That doesn't happen---like ever. So honestly, I feel good about this update--finally! Length wise, it's clocked in around 1,500 lines of code so pretty average length in comparison to past ones I guess. Ton of dialogue. Those who didn't like the last update length of dialogue will probably throw themselves out of a window on this update. 

Sorry.

But all of this dialogue has to happen for the story. Emotionally, this was insane to write again and the ante has been upped from v0.11.1 in my opinion. So expect some feels and the most drama we've seen yet. This update will also end Chapter 6 as well as conclude Part 2 of the story. So expect a ton of questions to be answered and more closure than I typically give. Honestly, I think we all need some closure around here for a change and hopefully v0.12 has the narrative Xanax you been craving.

Around 82 new images and 1 animation for graphics are coded in and that should do it. The doc office scenes with "alien Zack" from chapter 6 are now fixed and back in the game. Plus, the new computer allowed for me to render the animation for this update in a little over 2.5 days--a huge help when the old system was going to take over a week. So basically, I need to run through things again and then drop the test copy to the small group of peeps for feedback then we're good.

So. The big question is will the update get out by the end of the month? I'm still not sure but it's going to be damn close! I feel better about it now than I did a week ago. It's actually possible. At this point, it'll depend on the testing and stuff. I plan to try and get a test copy out to people today if things go as planned.

Now...back to proofreading again.
