Recently made some major changes to the look of Pantheon Bureau! With a much lighter ‘newspaper’ look and some changes to menu and stat placement, I feel like it’s easier to read and generally more unique.

I also created a tool for scripting the story arcs inside the novel so I’m not marking them up entirely by hand. Getting this working has taken some time and frustration, but the payoff has been tangible. Now, scripting the main story (the central purpose of the entire project) won’t be such an uphill climb spanning hundreds of hand coded pages.

This also puts me much closer to releasing a demo version of this interactive novel. As it stands now, it will most likely be a demonstration of the gameplay loop that makes up the background of the story, minor stories, and major mechanics. What’s likely to be left out for the final release: the main story arc, the agency morality system, custom hero creation.
