Ideally I will make these updates monthly (kinda just how it happened by chance with the last 3 months)

Progress is steady, working through the checklist I have for demo 6 here is the current standings:

* = finished

Level 7*
Battle Arena 3*
Optional Dungeon*
Optional Dungeon*

Level 8*
Optional Dungeon*

Level 9
Optional Dungeon
Optional Dungeon

So I am currently working up to working on Level 9, which is not going to be as simple as all other dungeons where the challenge is simply create palette, decide on tiles, and solidify layout. Level 9 is going to be a very scripted story situation with a ton of moving parts. The setup for said moving parts has already been created, and the next steps are to start actually writing the scripts for the sequence. I dont want to drum up too much hype for level 9 but (in case I havent elaborated much in the past) I have major plans on it. The story is going to culminate and transition here, things you did before initiating the sequence will impact the sequence, and the quest afterwards is going to be somewhat akin to Metroid Fusion once the mission becomes "crash the station" and you are now running around collecting everything. Basically the quest opens up almost completely and you are able to start wrapping up side quests and getting to the end game areas and dungeons.

Once level 9 is done things will start getting interesting with the quest's new content being the finales to many of the ongoing content, both exciting and anxiety inducing.

Given the new stuff yet to create left for demo 6 I would hope to be done with all of the new stuff within 4-6ish weeks. Probably then a few weeks or so for fixing and finalizing everything with the demo, and a few more weeks on fixing things that I have yet to notice. Demo 6 should hopefully be out before March.

Thank you all again (feel like I thank yall a lot) for following this project, I will always appreciate any interest in this project especially as I begin the final chapters. It is crazy that this project has been a part of my life for over 6 years and honestly, I am ready for it to be done haha!
