Z.J. Diam here to bring another major overhaul to the prologue! This new version includes a new batch of enhancements to the Project Centauri experience within the prologue, and the rest of the game to come. I have had a blast working on this so far, and hope you all look forward to the coming updates as much as I. Below is a general overview of some of the major changed features:
-Better Passage Fluidity: A sizeable change to passage functionality, allowing for a smoother, and more refined reading experience with less jankyness.
-More Lore!: This update brings the total Prologue word count from the previous 7,500, to just over 9,000. New background information has been added for various things within the world of Project Centauri, including a major overhaul to Squadmate descriptions. A full background is now available for all your Squadmates, which should give them a bit more life, and make them more meaningful as a whole. Though Squadmates do not currently serve a major purpose or function in the prologue, they will be vital to the experience in the coming chapters.
As far as a progress update for chapter 1 goes, it IS still in production. I have been working hard on polishing, and finalizing the Chapter 1 release so that it will bring the best experience possible. As far as a release date is concerned, that is still TBD, but expect to see more content coming Q2 2023! As a little sneak peak, the image attached above is a very early proof of concept render of Zett, the Kazothian Capital city on Ryytal. This is a location coming with Chapter 1, and a major setting for the full story to come.
As always, I hope you enjoy your read! -Z.J. Diam
