Inheritance Progress Report (Patreon)

I was debating on how best to handle this particular post.  I wanted to express the amount of work accomplished related to the next build, but after thinking about it for a while, I realized that perhaps sharing the next build's changelog will be the easiest way to accomplish this.

As such, I'll start with what I did today, then share the changelog below.

Today was spent working on the town's content.  I finished adding all of the descriptions for the road locations.  Also got some ambient content written for all of them.  Every exterior town location has either 5 or 6 ambient events that can play out in them, with a minimum of two during any given time range.  The one interior location currently in the game includes three ambient scenes of it's own.

In total, we've got roughly 32k words of new content for the next build across a wide range of locations and functions.  I worked my back side off this week, but a lot of this progress is thanks to the hard work of several wonderful people who help out as well. We've got coders helping make sure everything works, our wiki guy has been writing much of the code related to the submissions we have been receiving, and of course there's the individuals who have either submitted content or shared ideas as well.  It's a really amazing feeling to know I'm surrounded by so many talented and generous people.  Fans, Patrons, and helpers alike, you all help make this the best job in the world!

The plan from this point forward will be to add at  least a couple more stores to every build until everything is in place while we continue to grow the mansion/grounds content.  More focus will shift toward the town related content once the merchant system is all in place.

I might poke at things a little more this evening, but I don't expect to accomplish a whole lot.  Odds are pretty good that what I'm sitting on right now will become the next test build.  (Going to toss together a new build tomorrow for the sake of play testing, then post a test build to patrons at that level a little later if nothing major jumps out at me.)


Now, keep in mind that part of this was from the last week we worked on this, and the rest is from this week, (The amount of work accomplished both weeks is impressive and I'm very happy with how much has been accomplished.)
