Hey Folks,

I'm almost finished Episode 10.  At the moment, the length is slightly above average.  Before it is release ready, I have to correct a couple of bugs, then complete a few run-throughs, error checking, typo correction and make sure all the variables are correct for each different branch, so I'm estimating I still have around 16 hours of work to complete.  It's just after 4am here, so I'm going to get some sleep and then straight back to it in a few hours.

But....

At the moment I have a minor concern... Although I have completed all of the planned scenes for this episode,...Now that it is complete, I think it may work better if I add some extra content. Although I'm happy with each scene and the current episode content and length, I think the extra items would help it feel like a more "complete" episode.  (It would cover two in game days)

So I'll make a decision later, once I have an operational episode.  I'll either release the planned content as is.  Or I'll push it out by a few days (approx. 5-7) and add the extra content (extra animations, 2 extra small scenes and an extension to 2 existing scenes).

I might be being overly critical, but the gut feeling is that this episode will work better with the extra content and covering two in-game days, rather than the current 1 day which may be a bit congested.

But if I do add a few extra days and the extra content, the Episode will definitely be a monster (It will be the biggest episode to date &  will have approx. 4-5 animations), so it'll be the worth the minor delay. 

I'll make a decision once I get some sleep and try a few play-throughs.

Thanks,
