I am considering rebooting the story and starting over from the top. Most of what has been shown is consistent with the story to a degree, but there are issues that I feel are potential problems for the script in its present state.

One of the issues is the lack of “expressiveness” in the characters, most particularly Maxine. She seems to me, a blank slate that lacks any real depth or definition as a character.

This is something I feel needs to be addressed, along with others that I’ll not name, due to spoilers; until those issues are addressed in the script, I doubt I can continue the Phasmatis Crisis in its present state.

The general plan for TPC is to condense the chapters on Earth into a prologue/introduction, and restructure the story direction from that point forward.

In addition, I have been eyeballing some particular classes that have caught my interest here at college. One of those classes relate to 2D animation, and learning those skills may be very useful in helping market Fantasia Arks.

Hopefully, all will be worked out by the end of the Spring Quarter. Hope for the best!
