Oh boy, it's almost February, and you know what that means. That's right, version 0.39 will be out in February!

Thanks to the fantastic progress I have made over the past month, I see no risks whatsoever in promising to reach this goal. This week, I finished and tested 2 out of the 3 new scenes in this update. As previously mentioned, all the images needed for ALL the scenes are finished. All I need to do is write and code the final scene, and that's it.

I have also been working on the new game this week, specifically the card game central to its design. The card game is now at the point where it can track turns, have cards with actual abilities, check for legal plays during one of the game's phases, and highlight if a play you're making is legal or not. This is quite significant because this is the first time I have added rules to the game instead of working solely on the mechanics of playing cards. It also means that I'm very close to being able to playtest an incredibly basic version. This will allow me to get a feel for how the game plays and whether or not my design is fun. If everything works out, this will eventually turn into the playable prototype that you will get access to at some point in the future. And with "future," I mean "sometime in 2022."

I'll probably focus on LLtP again in the coming week, though I may jump a little back and forth between the two games. I'd rather not wait until the end of the month to put version 0.39 into your hands.

Until next time!
