Kawan our novella writer submitted the first three chapters of his works. Excellent read so far so looking forward to the rest of his progress.

Fredrick our artist has submitted the final version of the ingame story mode map art and the individual map elements. He now works on the version of the map art which is for our epilogue and already submitted the first proposal, already looks great and we are very satisfied with his work.

Martin our coder had no internet access during the most of the week so not as much progress as expected but near the weekend submitted the next build which includes all the spells and is working on the next version ever since. We had some unexpected issues with the spells because how they influence eachother's behaviour but once reported it Martin corrected the behaviour soon. As always this proved yet again that playtesting is king and during design not every scenario is thought of.

Laszlo started gathering sound effect assets and continued his project management work which includes recruiting and also finished revising the ingame story content.

A new freelance artist also works for us to complete some ingame art assets and already submitted two of them and the rest is to be completed in the following weeks. His art is great and looking forward to his progress as well.

A little less progress this week. Laszlo has finished the ingame story of the game and continued his recruiting and project management efforts. While Chad continued his music composition work and submitted a revision this week.

Fredrick, one of our artists has completed the majority of the story mode map art (the first version) and all of the separate map elements. Beautiful work and are looking forward to the second version of the map art, which is an altered version of the original art and represents a later stage of the game's story.

We've also handled our first ever minigame bug, which was discovered by Laszlo while testing the latest build and was corrected by our coder, Martin, within a few hours, once it came to his attention by email. Hopefully all future bugs will be discovered and corrected this quick as well, if there will be any.

Our open beta is nearing and how soon it actually begins depends on our coding progress and after that the mission scripting. The first stage of our beta will focus on mission flow, game mechanics, game functions and gameplay in general.

Yet another busy week is behind us during which Chad our composer made three revisions and also submitted a new music proposal while our coder Martin continued his work towards the next build.

Our novella writer has finished writing his version of the story and is now adding the final touches in the form of editorial work and revision so the final version is expected soon.

Fredrick, one of our artists is working on the story mode map art and the past weeks progressed to the fourth iteration of the map art. It looks great and already contains a lot of the elements of the intended final version.

Laszlo has finished the intro, prologue, epilogue plus area and location descriptions and is working on other parts of the ingame story. He also was working on project management (which amongst others includes artist recruiting and selection) along with cooperating on internal business documentation creation and aiding the community management and PR team.

Another busy week.

Martin our coder is completing the finishing touches of the combat mechanics, after which he will begin working on the scripting system.

Chad our composer has proposed new samples and altered existing ones.

Our novella writer also confirmed that his progress passed the two thirds mark (66%), so we are looking forward to his remaining progress and to read his novella.

Laszlo our producer, designer and writer has made progress with the ingame story materials, recruiting of artists for various tasks plus preparing additional task descriptions for future recruiting and other aspects of development and project management.
