Sorry I haven't posted about this in a while.
This has been an extremely difficult game for me - I started with some basic concepts that I wanted to explore, and had a few ideas about how I wanted to do it, but the development process has been slow and painful and blind for the most part; I don't really know how this is going to play yet, or what it's really about beyond one or two basic ideas. However, the last couple of days have been really great! I'm finally starting to get a feel for where it's going and how I'm going to bring my very separated ideas together.
I don't think it's very likely that I'll have it finished by the deadline. But I'm not too worried about that. Anyway, I've sorta deviated quite a lot from the cover I chose.
