Additional updates. After looking through the events I eliminated about 200 of them by either finishing them quickly, or seeing they had no text in them at all. So currently as far as common events go, there are 139/370 events left to finish. Needless to say I am now way ahead of schedule of my 20 events in 10 days schedule. These are the big ones though, the majority of the game. Once I have finished the common events it then comes down to testing and doing the map files in T++ (which I am dreading because I've become spoiled by how easy the in engine edits are for keeping text in the box.)
I haven't heard anything from the person helping me in like 2 weeks so I assume they forgot or moved on. Doesn't matter either way I can do it alone. I still aim to have this done by march.
