Progress update
🕑 Added 2023-06-26 03:17:00 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
just in case some of you have forgotten about Elvensang, I just wanted to quickly let you all know that work on the next ep is still underway. Earlier this month I passed my final exam, concluding my university studies once and for all and ridding myself of the academic guillotine that had been hanging over my head.
Throughout June, I've worked on dialogue and art, and finished the outline for the rest of the "first season" of Elvensang's story - the end of the "first season" is still miles away and it will present a considerable shift in the scale of the story (in the context of the story's "stage" at least), but we'll cross that bridge when we get there. There was a lot of things that I wanted to do but couldn't for the sake of comprehensive storytelling (not to mention the time required to do it). Using "mindmapping" software (SCAPPLE) was extremely helpful with this, as well as mapping out the plot of a specific episode and so on. It's very flexible since I can just move the bubbles around as individual events, add a variety and notes and so on. Anyway, I mention that mostly as a recommendation to any fellow storytellers out there.
Outside of that, I'm still considering splitting the next episode in two - the first half is very "socially charged", focused on characters and their relationships, but with no significant advancement in the plot, while the second half is for the most part plot-oriented while dedicating some time to explore an old character / new character, depending on past choices. I still haven't 100% decided which way I'm going to go, but I'm leaning more towards splitting them - it will give you guys something to play while giving me a little more time to do the second half right. Majority (I'd say like 90%) of the artwork for the first half of the episode is done, so if I do split the episodes, a release in July is guaranteed.
Anyway, that's it for now - I have my graduation in about 4 hours and then I'll be visiting family for a few days, but when I come back I will write a more detailed post with previews (sometime this weekend).
Love you all,
Worlaix

Is it possible to just download the updated content? It takes a lot of time to redownload the full game...
