So I've been gone for a while. Most of it had to do with Holiday busyness, but I've also been having a huge writers block about the game for the last month or two. To the point where I actually went onto the forums and put the game on hiatus.
I definitely over-reached with 0.5. Both the most complex code that I've worked on, both in terms of eventing and content. Some of it flowed easily, but with the way I've set up the content, every character needs their own story arc and some of them just won't come. In hindsight I'm working to much on character rather than story, but there's too much content already in 0.5 for me to scrap the general idea of it. I'm not quite sure how I'll finish the remaining arcs. 0.6 and beyond will definitely be different, I'm going to be doing a few deus ex machina moves in order to streamline the content so I can focus more on the story.
But after putting the game on Hiatus, it's actually been easier for me to write. Rather than dealing with the arcs that I'm stuck on, it's allowed me to skip over those steps and write some of the end parts of 0.5. So while I'm still leaving the status of the game on Hiatus, 0.5 will come out sooner or later. I just don't have any idea of when.
thank you for updating us it's a good game so far
