So it’s been a while, I figure I ought to make an update to coincide with the FEE3 showcase (big thanks to Bopper for doing that, check it out if you haven’t already). So what’s the state of progress?
Well, uh. There hasn’t been any, since the last release, basically. Most of my hacking time these last few months have been spent either on Bells of Byelen or Iron Emblem Gaiden, the side project I started because I’m addicted to side projects, or one more collab project that y’all will see at FEE3 in a bit. What that means is that it’ll probably still be some time until I return to Aletheia, since I’d like to get some of these other things wrapped before coming back. Also there was the part where I realized I was a woman. That sure did happen.
But rest assured, I haven’t forgotten about this project. I can’t, really. I think about the story and characters almost daily, and I still write down notes for plot details or revisions I want to make every so often. I’ve also pretty much given up on any timing I want to hit for having this done, which helps motivate me, in a way. Because I know I won’t give up on this even if I stop working on it for half a year, I know someday I will reach that finish line. It is a little frustrating for me right now because the next arc is some stuff I’ve been wanting to get to for a long time, but I suppose that’s the carrot on my stick.
Thanks to everyone who’s played so far, for being patient with my inability to stick to one thing at a time, and for praising the hack/inflating my ego. Really, y’all are the best.
