Q: Hey! Keto’s going to get finished?
A: Yeah.
Q: Come on. Really?
A: Yes, really.
Q: What took so long?
A: Well, Blue wasn’t convinced that it was quite finished. But since she’s occupied with other things, and we felt that the world had spoken out and said that a “V0.8 Keto” was better than no Keto at all, that it would be better to just finish what we could. Blue came to agree, so PPG is going to finish it and code it and release it.
Q: Where’s Blue?
A: She’s on the forum, but she’s busy with Other Things. She may be contributing further to Keto. We’ll see. Don’t pressure the poor girl. In case you’ve forgotten, she loves you so much she gave you Dungeon-Be-Gone.
Q: So, what should we expect to get?
A: An NPC that reflects the majority of Blue’s design, cleaned up and implemented, with some of the gaps she never got around to filled in. Keto will have an original portrait and original voicing, and a lot of banter. Basically, what you’ve expected all along, just a little different.
Q: What needs to be done, then?
A: We’re going through and triaging Blue’s work (much of which is on the order of a year and a half old) to see what’s good to go, what needs some reworking, and what should be dropped. Plus, we need to flesh out things like her interjections and see how detailed we want to make her personal quest.
Q: How about TOB?
A: There’s little if anything written for TOB, so that’s a decision we’ll make once Keto-SOA is out.
Q: Can we help?
A: There will be opportunities, including beta testing, once we get Keto implemented. Stay tuned.
