Hey everyone! It’s been two weeks, and we’re hard at work. Today, I’ll be talking a bit about what I’ve been up to. Just in case you missed last week’s closing line, today your update’s coming from me, Pastel. As I discussed earlier, part of what I do is writing, and that’s what I’ve still been doing a lot of - other than PSI animations.

To be more specific, I’ve been working on writing out the more specific story based events, rather than general townfolk and attacks or item descriptions. There are a lot of townfolk to write out, though… But there might be even more things troubling the country of Pleiades. The Modern Men are surely behind it all, but what are they? As far as anyone knows they’re just rumors… and, in 197X, there are plenty of rumors to go around. What kind of rumors have I been writing about? Well…

Animal rumors…

Municipal rumors…

Ghost rumors…

That stuff just represents some of the problems in some of the towns you’ll visit. Generally, these kinds of things are treated as “monster of the week” episodes (similarly to how events with certain gangs or zombies or castles were treated), and while these sorts of things add to the overall world, they are their own little experiences. After so many of those, you’ll naturally be drawn to the deeper mysteries of the world.

Mysteries about certain shades of green, for example.

That’s the kind of flow I’m working to set up.

Speaking of mysteries though, one of the other things I’ve been quietly working on is tallying the various things we have left to do… For example - Out of our twenty and a half or so bosses, all but two of them have finalized designs, and fourteen or so have their sprites finished. That feels about right on how our development in general is going. We’re shorter in some areas, and further in others, but I think that’s a fair estimate of where we’re at. Everybody gives what they can, as fast as they can, as well as they can, for the sole benefit of folk like you who check in on us every other Sunday. Incidentally, the 27th is the next time you’ll hear from us, and our good friend Dave!
