Since I've been rather occupied with other things, Halbo has had a distinct lack of attention lately. To make finishing my project more feasible, I'm scaling down the amount of content I originally planned. I won't bother making custom items as that means I'd have to learn something new, and I'll leave his quest how it is at the moment. It's just the beginning of the "quest" and isn't much, but it does work with just that part.
Considering all the cutbacks I'm making on it, that means I'm pretty much done with him. All I need to do is add a couple more dialogues to fill in where I'm missing them, fix a few bits of coding, then test. So maybe it's good news and not bad that I'm making the project smaller. After I release it, if I feel like working on it more, I can always add in the parts I am leaving out.
Here is one bit of news that is definitely positive: Flysoup has done a great new portrait of Halbo for me. I'll post it up sometime for all to see.
