I'm not sure if it is appropriate to bump an old thread, or if I should make a whole new thread in the Indie Games section, but there's been a lot of developments:
- I received Steam approval and now have an unpublished store page. Once its all filled out I will make it public and likely make a new announcement and offer a new demo build with all the improvements (see below).
- Dialogue system improved; you no longer have to bump into characters to initiate dialogue. Instead, right-clicking on them will initiate dialogue if you are close enough. I redid the movement system as well, but I still want to revisit it again closer to release.
- Every location in Troezen has new graphics. Dialogues have been rewritten. Slide show graphics updated to be consistent.
- Assets are continuing to be developed for the later game content; most recently I implemented the background for the Asklepion and a whole slew of new portrait pictures for the various characters in Epidauros. Spent last night picking out 19th century sketches of Greece to use in every single slide show/CYOA event.
- simple website created:

New screenshots, open in new tab to make them larger:
EDIT: Here's a bonus portrait/character:
He's a baker in Epidauros and he has a terrible attitude. A Thersites like figure, he tries to convince Theseus to give up on his quest and settle down. He might come in handy if you want to offer Zeus Lykaios an appropriate sacrifice.
Again, if it's poor form to bump an old news thread just let me know and I'll make something new in the Indie Game forum, and submit a news request when there's a brand new demo or actual full release.
