Love talks - Around 50%.
Misc (creatures, items, spells, kits) - Done

Don't you worry about Planet Express, let me worry about blank.

Change in plans.
First to answer Kain. For the moment, we are good for playtesters. Such questions actually are better addressed in the main thread.
As of this moment, the music isn't set in stone though there are a few pieces in mind. There is no voicing as such, but we do plan on a full soundset, and hopefully full voicing in the end.
As for music and voicing as a separate download, I don't think we considered that.
Now, onto something else. The PC class lovetalks are being cut entirely. There is more than enough content in Delainy we don't have to include them Also by doing this, that means there really is only one lovetalk for me to write. I apologize, but on the other hand, often there is something cut from modules.
(and please note, writing doesn't mean coding)

No need to apologize, I'm sure you know what you are doing! *hmm, this reminds me of Sledge Hammer; "Trust me, I know what I'm doing!"* 
Of course you have to edit something and not everything can be included in a mod - I guess it's the same as with books and movies; sometimes you just *have to* leave something out.
Hmm, I hope that made some sense, I'm tired...zzzz

I've been reading this place for quite some time now (though I only took the trouble of registering just now), and would just like to say that this mod looks promising, at least. There haven't been too many new romance mods released in quite some time now, and it's good to see a new one coming along, especially one that looks this interesting. Keep it up

No the reason with the class lovetalks being cut was my decision to speed up the final bits of writing, and not really anything to do with coding. And silly me, I thought July would be more conducive to giving me time to wrap up.
As it is now, almost everything else talked about will definitely be in the module. I am not kidding when I say Delainy has a lot of material. Any of the playtesters can attest to that. Camdawg has been more than gracious to code it into the module as it is.

So the race-specific dialogues are still in there? I ask this because these type of dialogues (race/class - specific) really add to the realism of the romance.

I thought I posted a while back somewhere (and I don't remember where) that the race specific also fell by the wayside. If I didn't, that is my mistake.
However, it may show up later (like ToB). The main reason is that there is more than enough material (with a couple more things I do need to finish) as well as some time off on my end.

A pity, though if the amount of material is as vast as you say, it's an understandable decision. Enjoy your time off, I'm sure it's well deserved.

Indeed, there is a lot. In one post, Cam did show state there was over 53,000 words. A small novel, for example, frequently can have 90,000 words.
