SLARPG: General update January 2020 (Patreon)

Now that the holidays are over and we've had a little time away from the project to recharge, we're now back to work on SLARPG! And we're already making great progress, too!

To explain where we're at, let me explain the structure of the game.

Super Lesbian Animal RPG's story is divided into five acts. Act 1 contains an intro sequence, everything seen in the demo, and maybe another 15-20 minutes of content after the point where the demo ends. Act 2 is where the game opens up--by the end of it, it's possible for players to have explored a majority of the outdoor areas. As such, Act 2 is the largest act in the game. Acts 3 and 4 are shorter, and then Act 5 is the grand finale.

We'd previously been jumping around a lot and working on content throughout the game, but since last fall, we've been focusing on getting everything from the end of the demo up through Act 2 fully playable. (Not necessarily completely polished and balanced, but let's say about 90% complete.) Our first goal is to get everything up to about the halfway point of Act 2 done, and then finally do another round of private playtesting with friends. After that, we'll finish the second half of Act 2, and then playtest that, too. Because Act 2 is so big, completing it will be a massive milestone for the game.

So where are we at? Well, that's the good news! We're VERY CLOSE to that first Act 2 milestone and the first round of private playtesting! At our current rate of progress, I expect to be done with that in 2-3 weeks. And a lot of work has already been done for the rest of Act 2 as well, so we should easily be done with that sometime this spring!

TL;DR: We're making great progress! I'm very excited to finally show some folks what we've been working on, and I'm optimistic about getting a lot done in the rest of this year as well. I won't say whether or not the game will be out before the end of 2020, since I truthfully have no idea right now. But regardless, we're still moving forward.
