Early Development - 3rd Reverie

it is late at night on May 22nd...

progress has been moderately slow since the last update... life throws obstacles at you unexpectedly, like a Stardew Valley update that forces you to get back into your save file and re-100% the game... anyway... several songs from the official soundtrack are up on the quite adept YouTube channel; here's the link to the official playlist where the full soundtrack will eventually live... be patient, tracks are being published in a slow trickle to hopefully sustain interest over a long period as the rest of the game progresses...

while most of the recent work has been asset creation (mainly music), there is still plenty going on on the story side... as far as dialogue goes, only one scene has been written in the last eighty days, but the good news is that a full outline of the story, including titles for all acts and another special secret thing, have all been completed and finalized since the last update... this will make writing a bit easier and will help keep the different story paths in their own lane so they can be worked on separately... also, expect a lot of ellipses like this... ... ... they are not lazy writing... they are integral to pacing... ... and stuff... shut up...

Here's where we're at so far:

• Characters - 2 of 3 main characters drawn and animated (Keiva) and coded (Akari) - 0 of ? side characters drawn and coded
• Artwork - 4 of ? background artwork created - logo completed - GUI artwork about 40% complete
• Music - 14 of 20+ tracks completed
• Dialogue - 8640 words written out of expected 80,000 words across all story paths
• Overall - at this point, the game is approximately 14% complete

that's all for now... thanks for reading... - quite adept
