queenoftheskiesWell, brain won.
Kinda.
At least for now.
But, I told it...if we're going to add something new, some of the old stuff has to go away.
It said OKAY!
So, we pulled Out of the Darkness out of mothballs this afternoon and took the hatchet to it.
46,390 words we cut out of it!!!
Woo-hoo! Good for us.
It now stands at a still whopping 142,362 words total, but, I expect to lose more words--especially to tightening--as I edit.
The new words will, of course, add more, but I still think I can whittle that sucker down to a more appropriate 125,000 words by the end of the game.
So, look for the counter to go back up before it goes down, but here's how it stands now.
Out of the Darkness
Oh, and no, we didn't get rid of the words. Most of them will be relocated by humane methods to Xanali.
