Another Friday! ::awkward dubstep moves:: We're all going with the motions, working together on Episode 4 and other content. There's nothing super exciting to share, and it's mostly "Yes, we're still working on it!" That said, I can share some progress and insight regarding Episode 4. All of this is still unreleased... [b]Episode 4 - Writing:[/b] Scene 01 - Intro: 1.5K words (DONE) Scene 02 - Lindi: 1.2K words (Editing) Scene 03 - Debrief: (Drafting) Significant Branch 1A - Bug: 500 words (Editing) Significant Branch 1B - Puzzle: (Drafting) Scene 04 - Ceph: 1.5K words (Editing) Scene 05 - Approach: (Drafting) Significant Branch 2A - Elevator: 700 words (Writing) Significant Branch 2B - Meetup: (Drafting) Significant Branch 2C - Explore: (Drafting) Scene 06 - Naaka: 1.2K words (Editing) Scene 07 - Stealth: 1.4K words (Editing) ... It continues like this, and I'd rather not spoil anything by accident, such as the fancy new exploration features Trix has been working on! [b]Unreleased Freeroam Scenes:[/b] Veera's Scenes: 6x scenes: 2K words (All in various stages of Drafting and Writing) Khalil's Scenes: 2x scenes: 6K words (Editing) Matthias Scenes: 2x scenes: 4K words (Writing) Reyna Scenes: 1x Scene: 2K words (Editing) Tabitha Scenes 1x Scene: 1K words (Writing) Lebeny Scenes: 1x Scene 4.5K words (Editing) ... Etc As you can see, it's pretty boring, but we have been working hard. Perhaps more exciting is the new characters that Tae have been drawing for Episode 4. There are nine new aliens, with several more coming later this month. (You've seen some teasers of them) There are also five new crew members whom you haven't met yet. (You've seen teasers of Lindi, but I'll share some more today!) Stoffies is still catching up on redrawing the remaining older backgrounds, and once that's done, he'll start on the new ones for Episode 4.
