The draft of the story text for Sword of Shadows...IS FINALLY DONE! I also wrote the tactician convos (the brief dialogs that can be had with a specific character before each chapter), the fortune teller dialogs, the houses/villages text, and all the recruitment convos. I'm leaving boss convos for later because I haven't hammered out every single chapter boss yet. The like, plot-important bosses are all set but the random subordinates aren't.
This has been over a decade in the making...obviously I still need to edit it, and finish other pieces of text (loads of supports still to write), and do way more stuff (maps, events, character palettes)...and I also still want to add one or two more recruitable characters so that'll need some additional text...but still! This is a big accomplishment for me! Having an actual draft instead of just vast piles of notes! Gonna just enjoy it for a bit before I start getting bogged down in all the remaining work lol.
When I finally finish the whole thing I definitely need to do an LP of it just to like...record all my behind-the-scenes commentary lol. Probably no one will ever watch it, but I'll enjoy making it, at least.
Also, I'm actually thinking of changing the name, because it occurred to me that the big plot-important magic item should of course be called...the Fire Emblem. I mean, that's FE tradition. But all my tags for it and all the folder names and stuff are SoS because that was the name for so long! Oh well. Undecided on the subtitle, maybe like, The Forgotten War or something? The Lost History? The primary focus of the plot is on how a conflict that occurred two hundred years ago was all hidden from history and now has reemerged.
