Hey everyone,

another short week with little time to work on the game.
Although my progress is okay (to me at least) given the available time, it still sucks to see it going slower than the weeks before.
May is just full of holidays, family visits, and weekend trips which leave little time to work on the game and it's annoying me, to be honest.
I'm fully aware that I should enjoy the time off and I do.
But as soon as I get back to work and see the amount of work that still needs to get done it's kind of a bummer.

Anyway, be assured that I spend every single free minute on the game but we're still several weeks away from a potential release although the numbers might speak a different language.

Speaking of numbers (master of transition, I know), the numbers for this week:
70 new static renders for a total of 1564
331 new lines in the script file for a total of 4320

As you can see, quite a few new lines for the script file. Next week's work will be setting up the renders for those new lines.

Have a nice weekend, guys.

Cheers,
Ceolag

May might be busy, but what matters is we still get our numbers! Ceolag is currently averaging roughly 85 static renders, 2.0 animations and 234 lines per week since work on Chapter 54 officially began. Here are the charts:

We still seem to be making fairly steady progress even with the perils of May. As far as how much is left to do, I don't think the numbers tell much of a story one way or the other. We've reached the totals set by our benchmark chapters, but that doesn't really tell us how big this chapter will be. It seems like Chapter 5 will be big by historical standards, but the game is still new enough that history is pretty short. Plus, this is a significant chapter that needs to cover a lot of ground, so it's not surprising that it might be on the large side.

Hopefully we'll have a better gauge on where the finish line is in the coming weeks.

I mean I get it still a lie and I know wouldn't make it better for you. I was just saying it just makes better to me personally. The Agency feels close enough to me idk what else would be close if we have to pick some other career. Cause how they have a secret base and all of that. My point was if she said it was something that was not even close to the truth to a small degree It would feel worst for me for some stupid reason idk why makes no sense but it is what it is.

If I had to guess why I feel that way perhaps cause how the MC knew she was going on secret dangerous missions all the time so nothing changed there. If she said she worked a supermarket late shift or something now the MC would have to get used to her being in danger or dying if the MC chooses to get back together with her. At least saying she worked for a agency he is somewhat used to the danger element. Only thing that really changed is the whole Fantasy / scifi element + the MC's family involvement but I'm more focusing on the career portion of the lie.

I don't think MC knew she went on dangerous missions. I think to him they were only short work trips. he expected her to call or text when she arrived at her destination every time. that's not something you would do if you go on life and death missions. MC only knew that she couldn't talk about anything related to her work.

But there are some certain facts we know about Fiona. One of the most important one is, she just met MC and not a life long "friend". If MC recently met Kaija and she was not pretending to be his girlfriend then I would not have any problem with her. So whatever her secrets are cannot be same level as Kaija. If MC trust her with his knowledge she reveals more than Kaija within limited timeframe.

For giving her another chance, you do you I guess but that reminds me another person who gave too many second chances.;)

it seems Fiona knows who MC is, though. or at least his family. when she runs into him the first time and again in the park, she thinks to herself that she shouldn't get close to him, but he is surprisingly nice and handsome... maybe she didn't intend on being around him and it was a coincidence, but there is definitely something going on with her past and/or family in relation to MC's family.

Kaija is a write off. Trust once broken is very hard to earn back. My MC won't trust her again. Fiona is cute, no question. I think Fiona is probably a sweetheart who has been burned by her family and I'll grow to love her like I do Elea. We don't know that yet so I'm just holding off getting attached to her until we know more. Same with Medb, I'm rather attracted to her, but I'm holding off her as well until we see who she is. She may be a deceitful dark elf succubus for all I know or there might be some sweet sensual warm heart under all that ice. We shall see.

Fiona seems cute and sweet, but she is not harmless. she literally follows MC all the way to the Elves' meeting and no one could pick up her presence. except maybe for the Elf Queen. that level of skill is deadly. she was wearing some kind of Ranger outfit, or wooden elf clothes, with a hood.

Medb seems like a classic lix of kuudere and tsundere.

Maybe it's cause of tv but idk my first playthrough when I thought of her going off on some missions and the MC knew she worked for some agency. First thing that went into my mind was that he had to know he could be something dangerous or spy related haha. But yeah you are right it was vague enough that she could be doing anything not all exactly could be dangerous either.
