Status Update:
Sections of the game:
Lineages:15/15 completed
Occupations: This is a freeform part of the game. Player can pick whatever they want, but I'd like to give examples. I currently have 4, and I don't think that's enough.
Proficiencies: 4/47 Completely done. Carpentry and Cooking just need descriptive paragraphs to be completed.
Magic: This section is kind of further on the back burner than everything else for the moment. Most of the work is fluff and balancing. Fire, Water and Necromancy are rules-complete, but have no descriptors.
1/100 Blessings finished, 52/100 Curses finished. Need to rework Enchanting, but I will do that when I get to the Proficiency for it.
Combat system needs fluff and instructions.
Equipment: 12/28 Swords finished. No other equipment even started yet, aside from templates. Templates for customizing all equipment are started, but need to be fleshed out. Other goods and services also templated out, but need filling in. (See a pattern here?)
Materials: Templates, templates, templates. I have one finished.
Player-built Buildings, Traps, Ships, other vehicles: I just need to convert from notes and add fluff.
Meta-Plot: Gonna do this part last.
Gods/Nobles/Favor: Idea is mapped out, but needs to be completed and balanced. Repeste (God of Death) will be finished when I figure out his spell and favor demands.
Monsters: 1/100 completely finished. More templates (and how. 990 left to fill in, but that's just numbers. 99 more monster fluff pieces to write, too.)
Humanoid Enemies: Not started. Need a better title for this part.
Animals: 100 templates to fill, and one or two sentence pieces of fluff to do. Probably going to enlist my favorite PetCo employee to help me with this. I don't want him smacking me for putting animals in the wrong order on the food chain. He's 6'3", 300 lbs.
The "Your own world" section: Not really started, but it's almost all advice on worldgenning for n00bz.
Character evolution: Not really started. Want to have at least one evo per Lineage, but I'm just not there yet.
Other Playstyles: Not started yet, mostly converting notes.
Explicit consent to modify the game and legal stuff: Not started yet.
Edit (because I forgot): After all of this gets done, I'll be illustrating. I don't want to do a whole crapton of pictures to keep my indie developing costs down, but if something is absolutely necessary (or there's a large outcry for it) I'll draw it up. I'm probably going to dedicate at least 4 full pages to equipment, because there's so much of it, and I want to do a plain vs fully customized version of each really popular piece of equipment (like the katana and the falchion.) Each lineage, of course, is going to get an illustration or four, too, but I kinda want to wait until I have some character models done for them.
So, thoughts, questions, concerns, flames, offers of money (yeah, right.), comments?
