By now it must be obvious that I didn't meet my deadline of finishing the Pacifist version of Dragonfaith by Memorial Day. Summer took over, and I pushed the project to the back burner. (My resolution last year was to get my runaway picture-taking hobby under control - and I made strides toward that goal. This year, whatever I accomplish by the spring, my resolution is not to put down this project just because the weather is nice, and not even touch it for 6-9 months of the year. I'm close enough now to the finish line that I need to stop pacing myself and start picking up speed again). Anyway, winter is here again, so I'm back at work, picking up right where I left off in May.
This release covers the first half of the final "act" of my game. I know I said this part of the game wouldn't be a problem, but it turned out to be a little more involved than I anticipated. It includes a pivotal confrontation with a major antagonist, and basically tees you up for the endgame - which will be covered in the next release. I'm thinking now that I am definitely going to leave the actual ending (the epilogue) for a separate release. Whether I dive into that right away, or leave it as a brainstorming activity while I work on the next version of my game (I think that's more likely), I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. I can't wait to get Pacifism finished, and I'm really excited to put together everything I have for that next version! I could say more about that, but I'll wait 'til I get there.
