Hey everyone, nothing too crazy this time around, just some general updates.

Over the past year I did get all of the treasures placed and all of the encounters for enemies littered throughout the world. I also got a little bit of extra voice acting done and paid for, so that's pretty cool!

I also got started on some side quests and have a few done. There are a surprising amount of extra little features I have had to add each quest. It's not as cut and dry as I thought it would be, so with all the new little quest-specific mechanics I have had to make sure they work with other mechanics as well. There will definitely be bugs, but that's what the beta is for!

That's pretty much it. I've been swamped with a new job that doesn't afford me as much time. I'm doing the same thing as I was before, but it's something I have to devote a lot more focus to as it is in a much grander capacity. On top of that, I got a lot more traction in my music career and have gone back to being a GM for a couple of TTRPGs. I'm also in a bit of a transitional period as far as the relationships I have and the physical place I'm in. In short, I'm busy. I don't have as much time to dedicate to this game, and the time I do have usually ends up being sunk into the little time I get to hang out with friends and family.

Don't worry, I'm still working on the game little by little. It will get done! Every day I open up the engine is another day closer to the beta release. Slow and steady. I need to make sure I can live and thrive first and foremost. I still can't wait for this project to be done because it'll be a huge weight off my shoulders, so it will get there even if by sheer irritation alone haha!

Have a good year, everyone!
