Ya-hooooooooo!  <Good morning>!  Hello, hello, everybody...!

This is the second (and final) dev update for Letter to the Golden Witch! 

Recently, anyone following my twitter will have seen two things: 

1. That I'm really excited about Melty Blood. (This dev update isn't about that, though)
2. That Letter is nearing completion, with a finished script that clocks in at a massive 120k words! (This is what this dev update is about)

Now, to keep this update brief:

As mentioned already, the script for Letter is now finished!  This means the project is starting to approach the finish line, with only the editing phase and some finishing touches to go.

The editing phase here is a mix of both classic editing- correcting, condensing, rewriting where necessary- and the process of adding sprites, backgrounds, music and effects.  It can go by very quickly for simpler scenes, but others can be quite involved and will take a longer time to edit.  This editing phase will also include a few final touch-ups to some of Etna's sprites and the creation of a few new CGs.  

Additionally, I've previously discussed the possibility of releasing Letter in three "acts", one act at a time- with the tea parties included with Act 3.  However, at the current state of progress, this feels unnecessary, so the current plan remains to release Letter in its entirety when it is finished, to avoid the possible pitfalls of a multi-part release.

With all of this in mind, the current goal is to have a full release ready for late October or November of this year.  

Finally, as I start on the final stretch of this journey, I'll be posting some preview screenshots on my twitter while editing is underway, so look forward to those!

That's all for this little update!  

I hope you'll all enjoy reading Letter as much as I've enjoyed writing it- and a deep thank you to everyone who has expressed interest in this project!
