Getting ready for Steam release

    I had a couple of technical articles in mind for writing and posting in the blog but the last few months I had such a tremendous momentum developing the game that I just couldn't divert my attention to writing anything other than code! The good news is that the game is almost finished. Let's quantify "almost":

    Content-wise, the game currently has everything it should have: One should be able to play it from start to finish, encounter all events, explore all originally planned areas, resolve any main plots/subplots etc. The only thing left to add is something to do with the player character's birthday: So far it's just empty info, so I have to tie it in the game. The prevalent thought here is about townsfolk who like you giving you birthday presents.



    Player-wise, I'm still adding some touches like alternate keyboard bindings (for example, you can press the spacebar or whatever key you've assigned to select a menu item, but why not also be able to use ENTER at all times?), additional options and of course there must be some form of rudimentary in-game help on the basic stuff.
