Busy!

I did some stuff for Ossian today, as well as a TON of work on Moonshadows. I decided that my exterior forest areas were pieces of crap and that I could do way better, so ever since coming back from England I've been remaking those forest areas from scratch--tonight I finished the area design, completely. :) Well, I mean, I have a bit of creature placement to do, and I have to worry about surface mesh, but the actual terrain/texture/water/grass/trees/placeable work is done, and that's the bulk of the work. :) I'll have screens of these 4-5 new areas soon, I promise!

Let's see...I also did some custom VFX work, some scripting, and some dialogue work. So overall I was pretty productive! I also got back into running, I played some football catch, and played wiffleball. Wshew! Tomorrow I'll start with surface mesh, move to creature placement, then I'll just tinker around a bit to see if there's anything that needs doing...in existing content before moving on into new territory! In case anyone was wondering, the game is currently "complete" (I think) up to the point where I originally planned to release Chapter 1. Of course, I've pushed the end of the chapter further into the story now, so it's not done yet...but still, I'm getting closer! And the nice thing is that the rest of development will be all main quest, and will in fact consist solely of interior area design, a few fun cutscenes, and a handful of reasonably-long dialogues...no sidequests, exteriors, or combat, which tend to be the most time-consuming things to handle.
