Well, it's my birthday today

Well, it's my birthday today. I decided to celebrate by posting an alpha version of the second act (for the team members, they can check the QA section of the boards for the link or I can e-mail it to you if you'd like).

There are bugs, including some significant ones I'm sure. For example, I chose to skip the prologue and found Conley hanging out with me. I guess he was a time traveler among other talents.

Still, it's time for me to start the sometimes grueling QA process, despite the extreme busyness of my life these days. As for how long it'll take before doing a public beta, I'm never certain. Perhaps it'll be a month, perhaps two. This act is more complex than the first in many ways. It's actually nine modules instead of one, which required a lot of changes to the "glue" that holds everything together. In particular, handling transitions of NPCs and variables between modules was quite challenging.

So, another milestone in the epic campaign. I suppose I won't have that "I'm done" feeling for a long while, but it's nice to take these little steps along the way.
