Hey there everyone, so... I'm trying to get back into gear with the guild, as you all know I haven't been doing too much besides roleplaying a scene with Nii.

So while I'm thinking about it, here's a list of all the things you can be expecting me to do this summer:



PRIORITY: Finish the first event.

It's coming up to like three months now, and we still have two and a half scenes to get through, one of which is longer than two of the others put together. Now, partially this is my fault for churning out posts slowly, but we also have week-long gaps between people winning the right to choose and actually choosing. So from now on I would like to encourage people to make their choice the same day as they win, or a day or two after if you can't decide. I'm making this a priority so that we can try whizzing through the whole thing within the month. (Obviously, this is flexible.)

The only thing I can say here is that while I hate sacrificing quality for speed with my writing, that may be what has to happen in order to meet it. If you spot any typos or anything that doesn't make sense do NOT be afraid to call me out on it in the discussion thread.



PRIORITY: Advance the roleplay AND work on sysv2.

Now, I have no idea where Meta's got to, but as you can see we have been waiting on a scene involving her new character in order to advance. She's also meant to be organising the ball. However, it's not problem, as I can take over the ball. We'll just have to slash the scene, and you'll just have to trust me and the rp updates on what happens.

Hopefully, with everything taken into account, we should be able to start chapter 2 by the end of the summer. As I've said this elsewhere but doubt anyone except Mab has caught it, I've planned three chapters of plot for the roleplay. Just a tidbit of information there.

I'm also waiting on art from a couple of commissioned artists to use for these future developments.

HOPEFULLY the release of chapter 2 will coincide with the release of sysv2. To this extent, I'm going to start working harder on...



PRIORITY: Sysv2

Yes, and I'd like to encourage all devs to stick their noses back in the dev thread from time to time to see if there's anything they can do to help. We need to finish off the skills, then sort them into pools, then sort THOSE into classes. Finally, everything needs to be written up. If you have any ideas for classes or new skills, post them up.



New mod profiles. Completed resource threads [eg map thread].

An individual profile for each character. You may or may not have seen Zain's - the others will follow a similar pattern.




New Information Forum.

This was a very popular idea. This will also be accompanied by a new Home Page, with new art and links to important places. More info here.




Twitter.

With the scrapping of the BIT will come the advent of TBO on Twitter. You wanted it, now you'll get to spy on me daily >o





I'm glad to see everyone has been sticking around and enjoying themselves in my absence. I hope everyone's having a good summer =)

I'd help...but half of that is stuff I'm already helping with

...and I don't think it'll take that long for the skill sorting. All we need is a master list of classes...probably an example or two, and then the 3 of us (2?) can churn them out while you do other stuff!

As for the RP...not much I can do there...sorry

I still need to get an IM for the Dev work...has that been used to discuss stuff I'm not aware of yet?

So... that means no RPing will be done for the ball?

Oh, no, the ball will be the next major rp point. I meant the scene(s) involving Yokuan in the run-up to it.

While everything in this thread still counts, it's been thrown into a bit of a loop by my illness. Sorry again, everyone -___-
