It\u2019s been a really long time coming, but here\u2019s the latest version of the progress chart.<\/p>\n

AN Progress Chart<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So, what exactly has changed?<\/p>\n

Story
\n<\/strong>I\u2019ve done a little editing and written a few more pages but the bar hasn\u2019t really moved much over the past year since I\u2019ve had a lot of other things taking up my time. Fortunately, I should have a lot more time over the coming months. Though I won\u2019t be returning to the script until I\u2019ve got the demo finished.<\/p>\n

Character Art
\n<\/strong>Thanks to Katja, the shading is complete! So why is the bar only at 99%? Well, while all the poses have been shaded, I still need to make a few final tweaks and convert the images to the right format for use in game. But that\u2019s a fairly short and simple task so it won\u2019t be long now.<\/p>\n

CG Art
\n<\/strong>I wasn\u2019t the only one who got a lot busier over the past year. Badriel was in a sort of similar situation, which halted worked on the CGs for quite a while. On the bright side, things have improved on his end and he\u2019s back at work. On the down side, progress will be a lot slower than it used to. Still, I hope to see steady progress on the remaining CGs soon.<\/p>\n

Sound and Music
\n<\/strong>Music is another area that hit a long delay, but no I\u2019ve got two more completed tracks, which is something, though a lot less than I\u2019d like. According to Nick, the soundtrack is actually pretty far along, but there\u2019s some software issues keeping him from sending me the final versions. Hopefully that\u2019ll be resolved soon and this section will see some serious progress.<\/p>\n

As for sound effects, Melvin probably had the worst year of all of us and, unfortunately, had to leave the team. So I\u2019ll need to either hire someone new for sound effects, or do it myself. Fortunately, I have everything I need for the demo, so there\u2019s no huge rush in that regard.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next?
\n<\/strong>Well, work on the CG art and music should be ongoing. As for me, I\u2019m just about ready to really jump into work on the demo. I\u2019ll be starting by doing a last round of evaluation on my options and then make what will be a hopefully final decision over the next week or so. Then, I\u2019ll do that last bit of work on the character art and start putting everything together in-engine. If nothing unexpected comes up, I should have some good news on that front in the not too distant future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
