Hello and welcome to the November 2024 update for Untold Story! And oh has it been a productive month since last time!

Development Progress

Last time in October I said I hadn't gotten as much done as I would have liked, well that changed this month. I've been hard at work everday getting at least something done each session. I've mentioned many times the biggest hurdle was the quests, and I've knocked a huge chunk of them out! All I have left is one and a half quests left to do. Basically, finish the quest I'm working on now, and finish the last one. And I purposely saved that last quest until the end because it's going to be FUN to make, so it should go by fast.

And on days I wasn't working on the quests, I got a lot of other work done as well, from the other odds and ends of chapter 10, to editing and polishing all of the stuff on my changelog from my playtest months ago. Let me just go over everything I have left to do:

• Finish the last 1.5 quests
• Create the last two Exalted Ones fights
• Place/Write the dialogue for "The Final Switch" aka put NPCs in the world after the 'no going back' point.
• Create the final dungeon
• Create the final boss
• Create the ending/Epilogue 

That's it. Okay well there's more to it than that as I have to go through my change log, fix all the issues, playtest the game several more times, etc. But as far as creating the game goes, it's just those listed above. Of that, the ending will easily be the longest part, as it just as so much that has to go into it. 

My goal before the end of december is to have the majority of this list, if not all of it, complete. That would leave me with six months from Jan 2025 to June 2025 to simply playtest and changelog things. Polish, polish, polish. But before I get to that, I need these quests and other items to be done. It will happen! So that's where the state of the game is at. 

Something New

In an attempt to not spoil much, I'm going light on the something new section this time.

This is the chapter title that will appear before every chapter. As mentioned before, the game is broken down into chapters. All together there is a Prologue, 10 Chapters, and an Epilogue. Those 10 chapters are further broken down into 3 Arcs.

Arc 1, called Finding Friends as seen in the picture, covers Chapters 1-4

Arc 2 covers chapters 5-9

Arc 3 covers only Chapter 10

If ANYONE remembers the extremely old and outdated "demo version" I had of Untold Story previously, that whole thing covered the Prologue to the end of Chapter 4. So everything after that, aka Chapters 5-Epilogue, are almost entirely unknown by pretty much everyone other than small hints I've dropped on here, and that's where the real meat of the game is. 

Until Next Time

With that needless explanation over, I think that about covers it for today.

I've made a ton of progress and i hope to keep that momentum up through the end of the year. I hope to have nothing but good news the next time! Thank you as always for following along on this journey.
