Greetings, Wingnuts and Citizens! Time for the Weekly WCRPG Update. Got majorly distracted at work this morning; my apologies for this one being late. I also had to type this one up this morning, so it's short...
I once again don't have a great deal to report to y'all this morning. I started another side project this past week, and as usual it has cut into the amount of available time I have to work on Elegy. Ordinarily such projects are over pretty quickly and not much happens with them, but this one I imagine will take some time, so the pickin's are going to be slim for at least the next week or two. The potential is there for money at the end of it, so it has my attention. Most of my working week was spent beginning the effort to translate the prologue of Chapter 2.2, the last piece of work that needs to take place in that Chapter. On Tuesday I began by counting the number of text blocks I need to translate - there are 156 blocks of text to translate for the whole of the prologue in Chapter 2.2, which makes it about one-and-a-half-times larger than the prologue of Chapter 2.1, and as with the earlier translation work there's a lot of variance in the size of those blocks. I suppose it would be more accurate for me to get a word count; that may be something I do as the week progresses. The rest of the week was spent on reviewing the text blocks and determining the sentence structure required for the translation work. A total of 25 syntactic reviews were completed over that period. And that's all I have to report to y'all this morning...
My Plan for this week is to continue the effort to translate the prologue in Chapter 2.2, and maybe get started on Chapter 2.3. Between changes in when I take my daily constitutional and the side project, I'm down to one break per day during which I can work on Elegy. I will be endeavoring to finish up my side project as fast as I can so I can get back to devoting myself to Elegy ASAP. I still need to finish building the Demon's Eye base statistics and begin mocking up battle maps, and I still have a good deal of plot slicing work to do as I progress into the next Chapter.
Well, that's all I've got for this update. The next scheduled update will post to the WCRPG site and CIC forums sometime between 11-14Z on Monday, August 22nd. Y'all have a pleasant week.
