Greetings, Wingnuts and Citizens! Time for the Weekly WCRPG Update.
Not much of anything new to report to y'all this week. I'm still translating the prologue in Chapter 2.2 of the Elegy campaign, and I wound up having a couple of significant distractions as the week went by (largely due to the re-location of my workplace but also due to the impromptu translation of the opening scenes of Wing Commander II, which was posted to the CIC forums late last week). For the week, I wound up completing ten blocks of text in their entirety and partially translating another six, mostly in the first of the two scenes of the prologue. At this point, all of the blocks in that initial scene are at least partially translated and just need the generation of the specific missing terms in the lexicon to wrap up. Another eleven syntactic reviews took place as well. As of this morning, 49 of the 156 text blocks in the prologue have been completely translated, with another 17 blocks partially translated and another 50 blocks having completed syntactic reviews. A total of forty blocks even have yet to see any work. I'd give y'all a count on the new and re-purposed terms for the week, except that I have been very lax about getting the terms from these last couple of weeks into the lexicon and the translation effort for the current chapter has proven that the lexicon was not as robust as I had thought it was. I'll probably need to make a major effort during the coming week to get the new terms in; the list was pretty unwieldy last week, so y'all might be able to imagine how things are standing now...
The Plan for this week is to continue the translation effort in Chapter 2.2. I think my top priority is to get the new and revised terms posted before continuing with translations. Chapter 2.3 is still on my radar, and (once again) I need to finish building the Demon's Eye base statistics, begin mocking up battle maps, and slice the Chapter's plot some more, but I once again don't anticipate getting to any of that before the coming week is out. We'll be organizing things and determining workflows at my workplace, so things could still potentially be quite distracting as the week progresses. Hopefully everything will get sorted out quickly and I'll be able to get back to work on Elegy full steam by the time the week is out.
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, October 3rd. Y'all have a pleasant week.
