Tasks I am looking forward to.- Create the game world out of placeholders.
I might even populate it with placeholder NPCs.
For the first time in the development, I'll know the true scale of the game. It will also allow me to develop the whole world at once - every new piece of content will be applied to all areas.
- Combat expansion.
- Introduction.
This will be fun to make and I can't wait to show it.
So that's all for this entry: Next one is longer, possibly "Geography of the Locked World" =]
