I took the first feedback I got from the beta on Monday and sat down last night to polish up the game. I finished cover art, entered the competition data on the website, and then added a slew of new actions, synonyms, and objects. In addition, I cleaned up some of the descriptions and added some cluing for something that was tripping up the beta testers.
The game plays much more cleanly now, and so I wrapped up the evening with a Beta 2 release, which I’ve posted for my testers this morning. I’m hoping for at least one more round of feedback and improvement before I submit, and while I wait for that I’m planning on just working on the writing.
Getting close!
