In a fit of insane brilliance this morning, I completely rewrote the plot.

It sounds fairly significant, and it is. Up until now I've been pussyfooting around it as I've never felt completely satisfied with the thing. It seemed overly convoluted and I was never sure if the player would really understand the reasons behind what was happening. It now seems so much clearer, without being overly simplistic. I think most people will be happy with it, especially longtime fans (and that's all I'm saying about it for the moment). The good news is that it won't actually mean any rewrites for me, as it's the portion of the plot that I've been saving for the last. Hopefully it all works out nicely.

I got the music into the game, which makes a huge difference in setting the proper mood. Magnus has been quite busy, coming up with a wide variety of themes. It's a goodly amount of bytes, so I'm thinking of offering it as a separate download. Still, for those of you with broadband, it's highly recommended.

I've been cleaning up broken issues in the game. The Gate Divers area is a key area and it wasn't working properly. A little script tweaking and it was up and running again. I also had some cases where I had "fixed" something in the game, but ended up breaking it elsewhere. Finally, I got ahold of Jazael on IRC and he's graciously decided to try his hand at resolving the last of the card game issues. It's all good.
