Latest revision as of 17:46, 29 April 2007

Since Dean is frequently adding/revealing new information for PCs, I thought that a list of new developments might be easier for people to keep track of than checking all the pages individually.

NEWS ADDITIONS ARE IN REVERSE CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER. NEW AT THE TOP!

Game developments

  • Game start is projected for sometime in May, but startup solo and small group scenes are expected toward the end of April and early May in the run-up to Jodie's wedding so that when Heather is finally free from school we can begin in earnest!
