ISSUE #4 THE VALE, QUILL 27 OCT 2017 ONE BRASS

One last thing I did is remove all the Recipes and Proverbs from the prototype levels so we can start putting in the gameplay stuff. I wrote a new design doc covering the story and how we introduce things to the player, so we'll soon need to start implementing those.
So what's so funny about your update, I hear you mutter? Well, yes, normally I would have some amusing angle for you, but lack of quality sleep and Super Mario Odyssey have drained me...so absolutely no fun for you at all. Not a bit.
Spud the Potato was found safe and well in a well. He was fished out, then chipped.
Dick Turnip, the unfortunately named highwayman, has struck again in Softwood. An adventurer called Hob Boskins was relieved of his carrots. If you have any information regarding the carrots, please keep it to yourself, as nobody likes a grass.
Back on (Sound)Track

That being said, life is still this thing that takes our plans and laughs at them sometimes. For me, this week has been made a little chaotic by that, as several of my own plans for the week went out the window, slowing my progress a bit. So I have to work extra hard next week to get things back on track.
Now, there's this fancy section of the forum called the Dev Pub, where Access Backers get a peak into some of the inner workings of the game's development. For such members, we have another treat coming your way: we're releasing another track from the Kynseed soundtrack onto the Dev Pub! As of yet, the song isn't even in its final state, so it's rough around the edges. But you can't really call it 'insight into the development of the game' if all we do is release polished content, right? So you'll get to hear the track before all the polish and final mixing is done on it. And worry not, we'll be releasing some previously Dev-Pub-only content to the wider forums very soon. Any and all feedback is welcome, of course, as there's still time to make changes to the track! Keep an eye on the Dev Pub for that new track soon...
See you out there you excellent people, you!
Excerpts from
The Bullford English to English Dictionary

English to English translation: snitch
Frederick's Footnotes: The origin of this word comes to us from one of the most ancient of British traditions: the propensity to rhyme. In days of yore, a policeman would be called a 'copper'. Slang eventually led to this word becoming 'grasshopper'. On a similar note, someone who turned their pals over to the police were said to 'shop' them to the authorities. This naturally led to calling such individuals a 'grass shopper' which, in time, simply became 'grass'.
bunting (bʌn.tɪŋ) n. Flags and other colourful festive decorations.
English to English translation: pennant banner
Frederick's Footnotes: This word is also occasionally used to refer to a collection of flags on a naval ship. The naval officer responsible for using signal flags is known as a bunts.
o.n.o. n. an acronym meaning 'or nearest offer'.
English to English translation: o.b.o. (or best offer)
Frederick's Footnotes: How telling that the British are interested in what is near while others are interested in what is best.
The exciting thing is that we're at the point in the project when all the various parts are slowly starting to converge on each other and fit together like puzzle pieces; jagged, work-in-progress, rough looking, semi-functional puzzle pieces. But we're getting there! With all this sudden progress being made, that means that there's now a fairly sizable backlog of content that we've been wanting to show the community and get thoughts on. So over the next week or so you can expect to see some new concept art, character art, an in-game location or two, a new soundtrack piece, and perhaps even some new animations.
The project's momentum is starting to hit a good stride and all the team members and various moving parts are starting to get into a solid nice rhythm. I can't wait to show you what we've been up to.
