Plap! (By ToonNik)

Good tidings, my bosomy brethren!

I come with a progress update on Phaedra’s train adventure (and an update for the game, see patch notes further down). Progress hit a snag this week as scenes procured via paid writer needed some huge edits, almost rewrites. Since significant chunks of phrasing needed almost completely rewritten, I had to kick them back to the original author for refinement. That’s been handled, and the scenes are being integrated now. The second major fight of the dungeon got some art variation to support phase change in the fight itself and tweaks to the introduction to support the art & combat.

I’m not going to offer an ETA because I honestly cannot place one. I work through one encounter at a time and have been polishing the earlier half of the content while other coders have been tweaking in a more wholistic manner. It feels like we’re getting close, it’s hard to see past the blinders of my own works.

The rest of the team continues work apace, providing us with some Mindstream content for Dhaal’s brothel and the promise of a new Phaedran soon (tm).

0.9.100 Changelog:
