Is Sodal a creature? That second sentence is a little confusing without context.

It's the base name for PC's palfrey! Though it can be changed, too. : )

I think one of the reasons it doesn't click immediately for a native speaker is that people usually use gendered pronouns for horses in English? But I think it's fine, people will get used to it once they're used to the palfrey having been introduced.

I'm surprised it didn't cross my mind! I bet you're right!

This is it. My last ScreenshotSaturday before Roadwarden's release. Can't wait to bring you the good news on Thursday!

I estimate it's a 30+ hours campaign, but completionists will spend even more time completing the large, world-changing quests. And since all quests are optional and most of them can be completed with varying outcomes, various players will have a completely different experience, further altered by their character class, personal goals, personality, and the allies they'll choose.

In Roadwarden you can't make everyone happy. There will be sacrifices.

Grave news! Roadwarden's new release date is September 12th!

I apologize to all of you who planned to play it this weekend. We need to polish a few small issues before you can start your adventure.

I'm deeply sorry, but it will be worth the wait!

Would love one! Though I was planning to buy it anyway and I'm not sure I should deprive you of a well-earned sale :)

And a delay is better than having it rushed :) Good for you and good luck with finishing it off!

I just run out of keys, but I'll ask for another set! From my perspective, you supported the game in many ways without me asking for it. A key is the least I can do.

Huge congratulations! :) Magnificently well done, it's been lovely seeing thsi project unfold and I hope the reception is good.

Got the announcement up on the Exilian front page, I would have done it earlier but I had another thing I needed to finish. I'll do some social media (and hopefully actually start getting a playthrough done!) tomorrow.
