> Now I understand. I read "SOAT Update-Year 4" back in January, but I didn't understand the coding, so I didn't read any more about it after that. But when I saw this post I clicked on it and skimmed all those monthly updates (with the number of locations so far and stuff-thats what I mean by the coding). I didn't read all the responses to those updates tho. When I got all the way back to the beginning, I realized that it's going to have a secret area like GOA (which I found when I played it for the second time) and its going to be larger than POA.

What I originally thought was going to be a secret area is now somewhere you have to go in the game, so I actually made somewhere else the secret area (but I haven't written it yet). Larger than POA, yes. About 20 times larger. That's why it's taking so long.



> I think I sort of know what SOAT stands for. Sequel Of (something I don't exactly know what yet). The "Sequel" part is because some of it takes place after TOA, and the "Of" part is because the word "Of" is the "O" part of all the "OA" games (GOA(T)-Game of the Ages, POA-Perils of Akumos, TOA-Trail of Anguish).

The game's acronym will really be "SS", which is where the S comes from, but neither word is "sequel". The -OAT ending is just a joke, which started with Sam calling GotA "GOAT" and which was succeeded by switching around the letters in two other titles ("POAT" from TPoA, "OAT" from ToA). So this is the first -OAT game where the "OAT" doesn't come from the actual title.
