Weekly Update - 20 May 2024
Added 2024-05-20 02:00:03 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
We're back with the weekly update.
It turns out I did do a fair amount of FoA-related work last week, mostly bugfixes and continuity corrections that various people let me know about, which was very helpful and will definitely make the game more release-ready. There were also a surprising amount of 'publication assets' I needed to come up with, stuff like summaries of different lengths and so on for advertising purposes. I cannot recommend that part of the experience; I'm terrible at 'selling' things.
This is the week: the game in all forms will be removed from its hosting sites by this time tomorrow, so if you haven't gotten around to playing it yet, you have about 24 hours to do so. Then, finally, it will be headed off to HG for... whatever sort of edit they want to give it before its publication.
I estimate that will be quite a few months away, yet, because editing unsurprisingly takes longer the longer a game is, and this one clocks in at over 1.3 million words, so. It's going to be a bit.
That said, I plan to start sequel BIPs in June, so there will hopefully be lots of fun material to chew on whilst we're sitting in the queue waiting for an official release. I'll keep you all apprised with as much as I know.
For now, I hope you all have a great week. I should be back next Monday with an update, if perhaps only to say that HG has received the files. :)
