I’ve got all of the core structure for the next dungeon down and implemented now; we’re still waiting for the finishing touches on the enemy encounter scenes to be completed, but I’m gonna use the time between now and then to try and juice up the features we’re planning on using in the dungeon to make it super special; we’re seeing a return of a couple of combat mechanics tied to a few earlier boss-level encounters that I wanna polish up as best I can and apply to some of these fights. Rifling through some of the bits and pieces set-up for these fights has given some some write-juices to make the combat super interesting and get my hands in there, but I wanna see what lands on my desk before I go getting ahead of myself with them.

Instead, I have been given the Big Write Boner to write some threesome energy into the game, and seeing as I’m in a bit of a lul now before the rest of the dungeon content slides my way I think I’m gonna get right on writing a pirate team to come chase Steele down and plunder their booty, in all senses of the word.
