Slow progress but I have manage to write about 5k more for the game. Currently working on the background option so the game will not progress any further then last update. I almost have the faith section for cop done. I will still need to write the wicken and tech option. Then will address the rest of the choices under cop. The rest of the professions are currently empty so you will not be able to progress with them.
*EDIT: I have short cut past the intro while I work on the background section. So you will not be able to progress right now.

The faith is just a book mark for me, it will be removed once I have the other two paths written. Faith, Wicken, or Tech or the three paths you can go down for fighting ghosts. It will decide which weapons are offered to you.
Work has been rough so writing is slow. I have a rough draft for the wiccan path done just need to go back and do a rewrite before posting it.
I have managed to set team selection up so up can now pick from one member up to five members on your team. Of course the paths for the story have grown rather large.
I plan on having at least one path that will lead to success for each team size. I believe I will have to write each team size story from start to finish. For a little project it has grown a lot over last year or so.
So far I have manage to kill off two people in just the background setup and you have the chance of breaking your neck.
You can already get one killed in what I have out and when I add the Wiccan path there will be another. Hoping to have a few hours Sunday to finish that path up.
The last month of writing has been 0. My new job has me working 90 hours a week, so I am going back to trucking by the end of the month. The money is better and I have time to sleep and write. I am trying to get back to writing and have only added one feature for the vision impaired. While I do not have many images in the game, at the start you can turn the images off and they will be replaced with a description of what the image is.
Hm, I can’t personally get excited about that, but good for you! And good for people who can’t see pictures clearly! Do you ever find it ironic that you’ve got this big contest now, but have so much trouble getting your own game up and running?
Sorry, that sounded a bit jerkish… I just find it kinda funny how long you’ve been working on this game. Kinda reminds me of me.
Yes and no. This is a hobby and a labor of love so it may take me another two years before I finish lol. I took this job thinking I would be home and have time to write more, yikes that was a bad choice. Live and learn. The game is only at 44545 WC figure it will be three to four times bigger by the time I am done. Funny the story was not all that big when I started but the options keep growing lol.
Taking the day to write for a change, no promise of an update. After several good crits I am dropping the shopping of equipment. It was me being a geek, was told by many it was to technical and much to take in at the start of the story. Have mapped out the first section up to the library. I have a few more Easter eggs I want to add but here is the mind map up to this point. http://www.lordirish.com/GIL/map.html
*Edit the pics I grabbed around the web. They will not be in the game.
Have taken out the shopping option have smoothed out a few more bugs. I am still working on the background section, slow progress. Plan on moving onto the team selection after the background section is complete.
I plan on the player being able to pick one to five players so this will require a section for each team size for responses and interaction. This will require a lot of work but worth while in the long run. will have to write the story from start to end for each team size for to work properly.
I will be placing the van ride back in as it has a reason, but dropping the gas station.
I have the library finely mapped out so need to do a mind map for it now as it will be fairly complex as it will be sandbox within the library.
My new job has me working 90 hours a week, so I am going back to trucking by the end of the month. The money is better and I have time to sleep and write.
