As the title says, the first chapter is finally playable and it looks and feels pretty good. It's another major milestone as there's a huge difference between calling up some scripts to test a quest or check dialogues and actually playing the chapter from start to finish.
Next step - playtesting it internally (that's what I'm doing now), improving the locations and visuals (until now the focus was on quests and scripting), adding more dialogues and events, and expanding options where appropriate. I assume we'll spend the next 4 weeks doing that, then see where we're at. So far it looks like we're on track to release the first chapter in mid March, but time will tell.
^ home, sweet home
^ the apartment 'building' where you live
^ Spike and Bulldozer, your new best friends
^ they went through me like hot knife through butter. I should avoid them until I gain a skill level or two. Their skills are as low as mine, but there's two of them and that makes a huge difference at this point. Mental note to self, add an option to pay them. It's time to get a drink.
Tanner gives me an access card for the Armory and recommends to get someone to watch my back, namely Evans, the first party member.
^ things you might do but can't do at the moment.
^ the Promised Land, a couple of quests later.
