Latest numbers: 5534723 bytes, 417 locations (13272 bytes per location). Well, a lot of my early guesses about things have changed, so I figured I'd tell people what I accidentally lied about:

> No dragons, elves, or evil magicians intent on world domination. (3/25/01)

Okay, so, while scrounging for ideas for puzzles, I ended up putting in an elf somewhere and maybe a few dragons somewhere else. Still not a major part of the game.

> Hopefully there won't be anything that's too difficult... (3/25/01)

Oops, sorry. Well, it will start out easy enough.

> The good thing is that I've now planned out virtually all the remaining puzzles in the game (or at least what *type* of puzzle will be in each place, if not the exact workings of it). I won't have to expend much more creative energy on it. (8/14/01)

Yeah, right. Almost a year has passed since then and if anything I have more puzzles left to design than I did then.

> 133 total objects (regular + enumerated) in the plans, with anywhere from 10 to 40 more in the remaining puzzles I have to design. (10/18/01)

That was way off, too. I already have reached 347, a bit over my maximum estimate of 173.

> Estimated completion date: July - Dec. 2002 (10/18/01)

Oops, it's already July 2002. Let's try Dec. 2003. But then again, I tend to lie about stuff like this.
