So, an update on Scarecrows of Illyria. The rewrite will happen, and it'll probably be a new (free) DLC, but it's also.... something that has slipped as a priority.

addedSo, an update on Scarecrows of Illyria . The rewrite will happen, and it'll probably be a new (free) DLC, but it's also.... something that has slipped as a priority. A few reasons: 1) When I started the project with my co-designer, it was in the middle of a family crisis that gradually got worse and worse. It got so bad and my emotional state got so bad that I ended up making some really not great management decisions. I mismanaged the project, from the AI backgrounds (that, at the time, we had every reason to believe were not AI), to not giving the writer the proper notes that my co-designer had given me. 2) The juice just isn't there anymore. Rather than worry over a project that all parties have agreed is the past, I'd rather focus on the future. My co-designer and I have talked. We're fine. They know I tried to make things right. That I want to make things right. 3) Before the story, getting the AI out of the game was the main priority. So that's the update. A bit more clarity on the situation.
