Greetings,

I just wanted to drop a quick note regarding development on the next adventure for Eamon CS: The Wayfarers Inn. This game is shaping up very nicely, there are three quests in the game and all of them are fully implemented. The intro story and six (!) potential resolution elements of the extro story are in place. There are currently 67 Rooms, 136 Artifacts, 25 Monsters, and 140 Effects, with more Artifacts and Effects likely to come. The plugin compiled in Release mode is 81k at this point. I am cheating a bit by using ChatGPT as an experiment to do the heavy lifting for various Descriptions but it is producing (in my mind) very high-quality prose, which I then edit and rewrite, sometimes extensively. So it is definitely a joint effort. The game fits into the psychological horror category and I realized at some point that Stanley Kubrick's The Shining influenced my design decisions somewhat - while they share no plot points the general atmosphere feels similar to me. Based on existing content it already earns a permanent MatureContent setting of true. Unfortunately, the game is still a ways out but there will be Wiki updates as needed.

Regards, Michael Penner
