Going Dark

Progress is still being made and things are still being done. It will just be a little quieter. Roast and I have decided, due to the nature of the story, to stop publishing details about the plot or characters. So why have we done this?

The reason we are revealing less about the plot is more obvious. We are crafting a story about a person's journey into an unknown world. The journey wouldn't be very interesting if you knew what was going to happen.
You would also have expectations of the story from character descriptions. If a character were described as having a hard outer shell with a warm gooey inside, you know that they will warm to you as the story progresses. You would also know they are an egg. By avoiding describing the characters beforehand we can avoid spoiling the plot.

In terms of the project things are coming along nicely. We have the backgrounds we need for Act 1 placeholders, as well as characters, so screenshots are a possibility soon.
Sadly, working on writing and plotting, there isn't much to show, unlike with Roast's music and arts. Guess we'll have to wait for the demo!
