A lack of updates...

Sorry for the lack of updates recently but I haven't had much time to get a lot done on the game, I have however, while not pysically working on the game I have been bouncing around a lot of ideas in my head. So now I'm going to reveal to you a brand new piece of info about the game.

nFortress: Forever will be an episodic game, each episode will consist of one area of the overall storyline. Each area will be unique in the way that it will not only look different but also play out slightly different. I have chosen to do the game episodical for two reasons...

1. The game will contain FMV cutscenes, unique art-styles and music which may begin to bump the filesize considerably if all of the chapters were rolled into one.

2. I'm the kind of person who begins to get discouraged if there is nobody to see or try out my work for a long time, so it is partly due to my own impatience.

As for the progress on the game itself, I'm still trying to decide on the best way to approach the partner mechanic. I don't want it to be overly complex and I want it to work.
