This past couple of weeks has been incredibly busy for me, so unfortunately Elders got pushed out of the way to make room for all the frantic game designing and Finals that dominated this week. Between all the classwork I've had to do (which spontaneously included writing most of a game soundtrack from scratch) and finishing off Skyward Sword, well, I think you get the picture...

Luckily, I managed to get most of Act I's first dungeon finished off before the madness began, so there's just one room and some bug checking to do before that's finished off, and Act III gets one giant step closer to getting done. After that, there's the segment on Stelt, which is already partly mapped, another dungeon on an already-explored island (which, thankfully, already has the necessary graphics, so that should speed up production), and then another area that I cannot at this point reveal. As far as stage design goes, there's a lot to do yet, but it should go smoothly once I get momentum back up again. Now the new enhancement to the Battle system... that could take some time. It's got a lot of new animations attached to it.

Now, for one last little detail: A new character who will appear sometime in Act III. Also, the spoiler tags are necessary, as the brief description does in fact spoil part of the story.

Whew... Finals are finished, I've kept up at the very least enthusiasm for Elders, and... I'm tired...
