I'm a little bit past the mid-point of Act 3 right now; probably about a third to halfway through the castle. You can get some specific details and stats over on Patreon and/or Subscribestar (for free!).
The current hurdle is the library stacks puzzle that gets you into the secret library. Since so much needs to move, it's all events in the editor, which makes the screenshot for the guide look like a mess. Putting more numbers and blocks and lines on there to try and create a visual reference without making it look even messier isn't easy, and that's before getting into making the instructions for the solution legible but concise.
I continue to hope and pray ya'll appreciate this guide, cuz getting all this done is work.
There's really not much left after this puzzle is done, though, which is nice. Some basic instructions for where to go to get the rest of the way to the courtyard and what you can find along the way is the castle's mid-point, with the castle catacombs and the second half of the castle ending with the final boss fight being all that's left after that.
It's another busy week this week (I'm not even sure how much time I'll have to get work done tonight), so it'll be close getting the story portion of the guide finished for Friday, but I'm confident I can make it happen.
Then it's on to filling in all the appendices, which (like is mentioned on Patreon and Subscribestar) is likely to take me another three weeks. I might be able to smash it down into two if I'm lucky, but my post schedule means it'll likely take three weeks to get it posted anyway.
Which is for the best, because that'll help stop me from working myself half to death and burning out and not having the energy to start development on my next project. The appendices aren't just fun info segments (though that is part of it, certainly), it's also where each Maid will get a page dedicated to combat strategies and the intricacies of how their abilities function, all their affection quests, where to find all the mothers and how their various mechanics work, everything you need to know about all the trophies, and so on.
Speaking of my next project, one more Patreon and Subscribestar plug - both places have a chance for you to vote on my next project, even if you aren't a paying Patron/Subscriber. It is effectively just a tie-breaker poll, but like I mentioned recently - I still want to know your opinion. If I'm lucky enough to get to make yet another project after this next one, it gives me a more solid direction to go in and a better idea of what you want to see out of me.
