I know, I know... posting an update is a BAD thing - especially when I could be polishing up my scenario, but I did say it'd be ready for today, and I need to explain why it isn't.

Firstly, my computer died. Meaning I've just reinstalled my OS. Luckily, I had just backed-up, so I lost none of my work, but I did lose my scenario editor, and the game. So I'm downloading/petitioning Jeff for a new key as we speak...

Secondly, I only recieved the graphics from Luz last night, and need to slot them in. He did most of the work though! Thanks Luz, again.

Thirdly, "real life" is being a jackass. I'm at work tomorrow and Saturday, *and* I have an essay to do for Monday. Whilst all I need to do is write dialogue for half a town, and add a few special nodes, I'm looking at Sunday evening as my only slot for doing that. Which bites.

So, in all seriousness, I'm hoping to have an alpha done for Monday, weather permitting. Then it'll take a day or two to iron it all out.

And that's about it...

Congrats, SupaNik!
(At last, a new scenario... :D )

That's really, really to bad. I'm dying to play your scenario. I wonder if it is a coincidence that your computer died simulaniously with my mother's computer. Her OS also had to be reinstalled.

I really hadn't thought my scenario would ready for alpha testing earlier than yours. Life is a strange thing, and I don't see why I should change it.

Good luck with your job and whatever you have to do, though.

As I've said before, I can't wait to see it.

Real life really does get in the way of this stuff... and vice versa, honestly.

My bad. Sorry Luz!

She really is a great artist though...

Right, so an update of the update. I have a registered copy of BoA. I have a text editor, and my scenario. I need to get the 3D Editor ('cus the 2D one sucks major), and then I'm gonna have an all-night slog. Which in real terms means I'll write 'til I fall asleep.

I just played through it, and there aren't any major bugs, and it is winnable (although you do need to set a flag manually). So that Monday deadline looks easily meet-able.

Oh, and Thralni, I'm still gunning to beat your beta-call! And my "job" is serving chips to snooty customers... so I come home absolutely knackered and stinking of fat. Wonderful, huh?
