Plan E, possibly F

As it turns out I've decided to push all my focus into a single delivery to be the game rather than several deliveries. There is more than enough good stuff within this delivery I'm working on to serve as a demo of the system that I'm building. It's probably better to keep things as simple as possible any way. If I can get this first part right then I'll be in a better place to expand into the events before and after the delivery later on.

One thing that I have to figure out is how to work around the choices that could have been made that influence the main character's state during this delivery. I don't think I can avoid talking about how the player's day has gone, but I also don't want to rely on specific past events to drive the story. If I can't make this work in a good way, I'll have to stick to my old plan but extend my deadline for sure.

Burn

I've been working on bug fixes recently, one with the interface and another with system performance under taxing conditions. Aside from tech stuff I spent more time planning the game itself. 'Untitled' and 'Project 4' are a little vague so I'm calling the game 'Burn' unless some better name comes to mind. It's going to be a very simple story about a pizza delivery guy (pretty original huh). I'm fighting the urge to implement stats but I know I have more than enough to handle considering this kind of game format is new to me. So far I have a good feeling about this project.
