Developer Diary

Just a heads up that progress is still being made, but slowly. Finals are coming up in 2 weeks, and I've been spending that time studying for them (after dad died, I took sometime off from school, but went back...and this is playing catch-up on studying so that I don't fail).

Well, school is finally over for the summer, and so I will focus my attention on Del in the upcoming weeks, and finish the writing.

Well, I actually have some real news. I know, I didn't even keep my promise to start the first of June. Anyways, half of the conflicts on Del's romance tracks are written. I will wrap up them up tomorrow, and then work on Flirts. As far as content, that will be the absolute necessity (as well as music for Del). However, it is progress.

Well, 2 more months and it will officially be 2 years in development. I wish I could say we had a lot more progress done, but June basically was a wash from a writing standpoint.

 

I did get some material written for ToB though, as well as collating some songs and poems for it, although it won't be nowhere near as packed as SoA.

 

On another note, I did get some riddles compiled for Tashia for SoA. Except for maybe guaranteeing 2 npc banters per npc (both in SoA and ToB), the actual lovetalks are written for Tashia. And the only reason it is mentioned here is that rather than stay at loose ends, I will get back to writing whatever comes up...which will cut into Del writing time.

 

Hope to have better news in the future...

Not that this is a big shocker, but someone volunteered to code up the Tashia material. After looking through it and what not, one thing I do wish to do is add to the Tashia NPC banters so I will be working on that for the next few weeks. As Cam is already on vacation, this won't exactly stifle Del, but just thought I should mention it.

I actually have some news to report. Some writing has actually gone on. Before the long hiatus, I had 1 Sarevok, 1 Aerie, 1 Jan, 1 Jaheira, 1 Haer Dalis' and 1 Edwin banters done.

 

Today, I am tentively adding 2 more new Sarevok to the batch. I am hoping to get 3 banters done per NPC for ToB, with 1 showing up if Del is being romanced.

 

This also means that the Sarevok ones could be altered as necessary since it has been a long time since I really wrote for it.

 

As ToB isn't that long, I don't think there will be any new quests, or what have you.

Removed a Sarevok banter for not fitting what I wanted, but I did finish a Keldorn one. Definitely have ideas to finish off Keldorn and Sarevok banters (as well as get a Chaotic Good one).

 

New Year's Resolution? Finish writing Del before a third year passes.

 

On another note, I only have one more piece to write for Tashia, and then I can focus entirely on Del.

Hopefully I finished the Keldorn banters. I am 1/4 done with the last Tashia lovetalk, and hopefully finish it tomorrow (the only reason I mention Tashia is that after it is done, I can focus again on Del).

Been a little while, but I do have some news. First, I tentatively have the last lovetalk for Tashia written. If it passes muster, that means I don't foresee having to write anymore for Tashia, and that will project will be done.

 

In related news, I think I have 1 Banter for Minsc, and 1 Banter for Nalia written.

Hi everyone. I guess this post won't be too much of a surprise, but here it is. I definitely need to take a break from things (it is primarily real life related). Of course, this could be seen by my lack of writing, and such with Del.

 

I hope once I regain my balance, things will be better. I am fairly sure I am not abandoning her, but there are some things I really have to attend to. This isn't saying I may not work on her in the meantime as the mood strikes, but for the moment...the spark needs recharged.

 

To all those who still was waiting for Del these last 2 years, 4 months...Thank you.

One epilogue written, 2 Sarevok banters written, and 1 Jan banter written. That means the following NPC banters are finished (barring something else coming up): Keldorn, Sarevok, Jan

Tentatively have two more Banters done. 1 Korgan, and 2 Aerie. Assuming they pass muster, I will hopefully be putting up another sample in a day or 2.

Didn't get the 3 banters I wanted done, but did get two done: one for Mazzy, and one for Nalia.

 

My arm is still sore from the tetanus shot.

 

After the next batch, I will put something new up.

Here is to a good New Year for everyone.

 

A very rough Mazzy ToB banter has been put up.

I know it has been a month, for those still following, thank you for your patience.

 

Real life, especially school, has been kicking my ass, but I believe the worst of the school is done (finished with it this year).

 

Depending on my progress in the next month will show whether I will be able to finish Del or not.
