Alright! Finally got this done more or less to my satisfaction. The hangup came with an intended sex scene, frustratingly enough. No matter what I did with it, it felt like it broke the flow of the whole story. Eventually, I ended up mostly scrapping it in favor of a fade-to-black style of scene. Unfortunate, since it means t...

Alright, time for another progress report. Honestly, a bit past time, but I've been busy with both working on the game and some regular life stuff that needed doing. Anyway, let's dive right in, it's mostly good news.

Left Hand Magic

Alright. The polls aren't done for another day, so this will be a bit limited, but I kinda wanted to get the current progress reported before the polls ended. Combing the Poll Results and a Progress Report tends to create a pretty massive, rambling, post. Which I doubt very many people actually read. So...progress report now,...

Alright guys, gals, and others. I've got good news and bad news. I'll get the bad news out of the way first, just to rip the band-aid off. I'm currently expecting a delay to the Haven's Port release.
