Gaps in development, and some gaps in devblogs, but here we are anyway.
Let’s talk a little about optimising.

Development Progress Report, week 65
If it’s Monday, it must be time for an update!
Development Progress Report, week 64
Feedback is awesome! Seriously.
Managing to get a couple of people to give the game a try was incredibly energising and very informative!
Development Progress Report, week 63
It seems like a lot happened this week. Much of it was related to fonts and the new embedded Lua scripting. Oh, and screwing up. There was a reasonable amount of that, too.
Development Progress Report, week 55
Nothing especially exciting to report this week, but there is a picture!
The narrative has topped 255K words (as you see in the image above), so that’s progressing slowly. I’ve also been working a little on trying to get the story-compiler to output some useful additional information.

What isn’t so easy is going back and actually converting over 25,000 lines of narrative from the old syntax to the new syntax.
Development Progress Report, week 49
This week is all about refitting the narrative. I have the worst compiler in Compiler Town.
