Wanton Cove progress report and news.

Pets start with the progress report, then I'll start getting into the plan going forward.

Sat down to start working on bug reports this evening:

-I ran down and hopefully resolved an issue where Mr Morichi was not recognizing you during the game's primary ending (Had thought I simply failed to write it when I originally wrote the endgame, but when I went poking around I found it already written but simply not triggering correctly.  

-Went looking for another issue where content wasn't triggering properly.  I located where the problem is, but was so far unable to find the source of what was causing it.  I'll be digging back into that tomorrow.

This week:

-I plan to start tomorrow by working through a bit more of the Wanton Cove bug list, then start work on some new content for the game!  

-Goal for this week will be to do some rework to the endgame and to write a couple of new scenes for the game.

-There should be a TEST build out at the end of the week.  The content should be largely focused on revisions to the endgame and starting to add some content related to the new stories we want to explore.

-New build of Inheritance should be out on Friday.

Future of Wanton Cove:

-I've been spending a lot of time thinking about both the game's primary end and the side stories I still want to tell within the setting still.  I've made some adjustments to my plans in the last two days.  The final content remains the same, but I've reorganized how I want to handle some of it.

-In the interest of not spoiling everything that is going on in some of the side stories, I've opted to work on three side stories (Azumi's origins, Pastor's Story, and Island Ruins) at the same time, splitting my work time between them.  By doing so, I figure it will make it a little harder for players to figure out what all is going on while those stories unfold. 

-What does that mean?  It means that instead of telling those side stories one at a time, I'll be bouncing back and forth between those tales as they unfold.

-From this point forward, I'll be trying to split my time on the project between new content and improvements/fixes, hopefully adding new content while at the same time improving the overall experience.

-When the three side stories mentioned above near completion, I'll approach the community about how you want me to continue.  Whether it is time to shift focus to Aftermath, or if we want to choose a couple more of the setting's side stories and continue to grow the game.  

-I currently have about 8-10 side stories I would like to tell within this setting.  Each of those will likely include 3-8 major scenes along with its supporting content.  Three of those side stories will appear in this first bunch, with 2-3 more coming in the next phase if people want me to continue.
