• September Report:
  September's goal to prepare the (newly named) "Un-guilt-ification" mini-game for beta release was met, (barring some minor final edits). There are some marketing materials that need to be formed before revealing the game to the public (which should happen the first week of October).

  Story:
  While your adventuring party was visiting an absurd society, your engineer was framed for murder and now you must follow their "unguiltification" process to free her before she's executed at midnight.
  
  "Un-guilt-ification" is a co-op action resolution game for 2 - 4 players who track down leads in order to find the real murderer and get a confession. Note that this version of the game will have very limited artwork as it is not intended for retail.

  Next month begins the new quarter, ushering in a new mini-game to design. In addition, a goal is to overhaul the CQ StoryHammer website in order to incorporate new content generated from the mini-tests.
