<p>Garnet&#8217;s here and now I&#8217;m preparing to send the draft of Ascender dialogues and quests for proofreading. Basically, all I have done for the narrative assets need to be checked and corrected. Grammatical, terms and phrases in English are the main issues identified from our feedbacks. I&#8217;m planning to give one of Ruby&#8217;s friend lived in Australia for some years that can speak, listen, write and read like a native English. But, there&#8217;s a job to do for me since all the narrative assets is written in excel format and without premises text, she won&#8217;t know what I mean and how the game flow with that narratives. It seems that she isn&#8217;t really a player, but I need her English skill to do the proofreading. Here is the Excel structure of my assets and converted to Words with added premises.</p>

<p>See the differences? Yeah, I tidy it up  a little bit as well, it supposed to help the proofreader I hope. I also add some table of contents, character descriptions, prologue and ending scenes as well. Right now, I have to finish up premises that define the correlation between quests. Hopefully, with Ruby&#8217;s friend checking Ascender&#8217;s narrative drafts, our lovely game can have a better quality before it launched (I&#8217;m looking for publisher input also later on before it become the very best appropriate draft). You guys also can give suggestion with the formatting or input in the comments below.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, right now I&#8217;m working on new game that relate something about graves as a producer! Let&#8217;see where it goes!</p>
<p>Garnet is signing out from GameChanger Headquarter! Ciao!</p>
