    [​IMG]iqSoup's latest update for Age of Grit explains what the developer has been working on in the last few months since they posted the last Kickstarter update.

    We've been pretty busy over here and have made a lot of progress! Age of Grit is gradually starting to coalesce. A big chunk of the game's back-end systems has been taken care of. The dialog system is working well and the questing system should be finished very soon. These are two critical systems that lay the groundwork for much of the game's complexity. We are also making strides forward with the combat sequence. The combat UI is underway and the ruleset has been fleshed out and is being fine tuned. We implemented the system for building ships from within the game--which is important for the modular design we are going with for the airships.

    We're also hard at work on NPCs. We've finished a bunch of NPCs already and we're chipping away at more each day. I spent much of the last week or two finishing up all the NPC briefing documents. The art team uses these documents to create the artwork needed for each NPC. Usually I will try to finish the briefing docs as they are needed by the art team, but now they are all completed for all the NPCs in the entire game. This a huge milestone--there are hundreds upon hundreds of in-game NPCs that I needed to write out detailed descriptions for. It is one of the major writing tasks on my plate, finishing it means I can now focus more time on other areas of the game.

    Our Backerkit fundraising campaign will soon be coming to an end. We haven't seen as much success as we've expected, but perhaps that's because our main push was during the last few months when the crowfunding season typically tends to slow down. Next week we are going to give it one last push to try to raise some extra funds through add-ons and preorders. All of you have already done so much and we're so incredibly grateful, but if you'd like please check out some of our add-ons and see if you're interested. We'd greatly appreciate it and every dollar help make the game a bit better. All funds raised through Backerkit will go towards more artwork for the game--predominately more airships designs.​
