Two battles are having their ending sequences improved.
There’s nonetheless some issues to repair and locations to shine.
Three of my buddies have been in a position to play by way of the whole thing of the unfinished Chapter 4.
All of them preferred it and didn’t have any main criticisms. Phew! (Apart from one good friend, who stored mentioning that I ought to identify the entire chairs as a result of the existence of “Chairiel” implies that each one the opposite chairs ought to have names as nicely… I’m in all probability not going to do this…)
I’m unsure if Chapter 2 remains to be the longest chapter, however Chapter 3 & 4 collectively are undoubtedly longer than Chapter 1 & 2 mixed. Desirous about that’s type of loopy…
Preliminary growth of Chapter 5 can also be progressing steadily. Many of the staff remains to be specializing in Chapter 4, however a couple of persons are going forward and creating an preliminary draft of Chapter 5’s maps, engaged on bullet patterns, and so on.
