* The Castle Town segment could be considered at least 3 segments worth of content as one, with a massively expanded Castle Town that eclipses the actual Deltarune in size.
* This Installment is now 5 segments long as some segments simply became too big to be just one.
* Barely any plot points in-between segments for Chapter 4 are left up to the imagination compared to Chapter 3
* The quality is way higher compared to Chapter 3
* We've lost multiple team members (due to their personal reasons) which made progress rocky for a bit
How much progress has been done for each segment:
Opening Cinematic: Completely done coding-wise with placeholder assets, visuals are still being worked on but not a priority
Castle Town: About 60% done, absolutely massive in scale and there's still 4 main parts of it incomplete. Despite the fact we skip some parts it's still by far the hardest segment I've ever had to make as it feels like an entire Installment in a single segment
World of Faith: About 80% done, everything but the attacks and one scene is completed
Reverend Minister: About 10% done, mostly dialogue and minigames. Way bigger than any other segment I've made except for Castle Town
Hero's Journey: N/A, but easily the shortest segment of them all
There's also lots of work done outside of the segments too, like:
* Every single dialogue string is planned to be put in a JSON file for translators
* MEMORANDUM for Chapter 4 onwards is now translator-friendly, since the text isn't sprite-based anymore
* I'm now using Python scripts to my advantage to get certain things done faster
* You can now Change Name in Chapter Select
Getting to this point has been tough, but now I feel like we've finally climbed over the biggest hurdles and it'll only be easier from here. More progress soon!
