I think I have the last of the bugs sorted out, at least all that have been reported. The list was huge (over 60 items), but I think I got 'em all. I don't think any were game-stopping, but some were pretty ugly and more than a few were embarrassing.

I wasn't able to fully test out each and every fix, but I wanted to double-check the big ones. I headed back to do the Firestarter quest and found myself really enjoying it. It's one of my favorite traditional quests in the game, with lots of alignment-related choices and multiple ways to resolve things.

The other bug I checked out this morning was one with the ending. It turns out my fearless crew continued to drink their blades or pistols well after the "drinking and chatting" conversation. It was amusing, but not exactly something I wanted in the final game.

I'm working on getting a new build together today. My very convenient "create all builds" batch file just kicked off and it's grinding away. Next will be uploading the nearly half a gigabyte of files up to the server, which may take awhile. After that gets done, I need to send a letter to the testers and see how things go.

I'll be away from my the Internet for a few days, I think. We're headed to Bend for a final trip to play in the snow before the kids go back to school. I'll brave my wife's eye-rolling and take along my computer, as usual. I'd really like to put some effort into the third module, perhaps lay out the world map and start hanging some of the modules off of it. Everything is incredibly rough still, but I'd like to show things off to the testing group and get some early "fun/not-fun" feedback.
