Esoteric Update #228 - Iteratively Improving Terms
Unfortunately, a late post again, and it had everything to do with my physical and emotional health just... running low. In any case, I have some lore:
Lore: True Reality and the Human Delusion
Now for the actual update. We did a lot but ended up short on time to finish a few things. Let's go over it.
We have the facts and the glossary done now in terms of writing (including any research and backtracking through our notes/lore texts). This came out to over 130 facts (I expect this number to grow to about 150 once we fully subsume the old term glossary), over 45 different glossary terms (across about a dozen language groups) and over 25 different locations. The writing and full implementation for both the glossary terms and the locations is entirely done, as you can see below, but with the facts, we still need to do data entry for those facts. This includes references to the terms/locations within the fact description.


(As you might have noticed, the location glossary is under Locations and Glossary. This is intentional, as the entry awkwardly straddles the two categories. You might also note that the Queensport entry got repositioned.)
Apart from that, a few minor things got done relating to the UI. There was a bug that displayed global achievements incorrectly. There were also some issues with how some of our tooltips interact with other UI elements. It came out to a few specific cases, but we managed to more or less solve those issues now. There might still be some edge cases we've not considered, but hopefully, it's all correct.
I'm trying not now finish doing that data entry for the facts and resolving some final conflicts between the fact system and the old tooltip terms. I want to get it into people's hands for testing, but since we've already had issues raised in internal testing, there wasn't any point in rushing it instead of fixing them.
