Hard to believe another month has passed us by! The biggest change is, I suddenly have a new computer. After several weeks of having my time wasted by repair shops, my old computer was officially pronounced dead. You can imagine how this might present some life difficulties. The new one was bought on a very tight budget, but it has just enough oomph to allow me to continue developing Zone. On the bright side, what was lost in coding/testing time was made up for in writing. I have been doing a lot of it, and as a result, the goal I set last month was hit: a completed Act 2! There is much escalation, culminating in a choice that changes everything... And even more sidequesty action.

Finally, I wanted to say thanks for the support you've given us. The comments, reviews, and even the bug reports are what keep me going. We're standing at 8 reviews at the moment, just two shy of the all-important 10.
