Toasters and Kettles

I burned the top of my mouth on stew last night. It's not happy today. What is happy is the breaker was reset (finally) for the coffee machine in the kitchen at work, so today should be a little more functional than yesterday. Apparently running the toaster and kettle at the same time is catastrophic.

Dirty Dancing - Kim's suggestion. Was nice an upbeat for working on reports, which all managed to work somehow this month. Well, as much as they ever work.

Princess Bride - Guess I'm stuck in the 80s today.

Top Gun - 80ssssssss

I started constructing custom assets for the RPG. I did a test piece last night (in the form of a photocopier) for the game, because until this point, the placeholder for these things were rows and rows of microwaves. It didn't turn out half bad...though the shadows on it are a little funky. Also having trouble gauging size, but I've always been a little spatially challenged (as anyone who has watched me play puzzle games will know). The good news is I have some base-level skills for making my own crap, so I might be able to make items and objects on an "as-needed" basis. One thing I'm not skilled enough to do (at the time) is characters and portraits. That I may need to find other assets for. Also I got Mesk's Captain Planet Sprite to function as intended so there's that little success as well. The office (tutorial zone), believe it or not, is reaching completion. I have all the hard stuff and customization left. Most of the scripting is done at this point...except Grey Morton, some encounters and battles, and the last bits of Purple and Blue Morton. I still don't know what to do with the one room either...

I'll need to do some edits and clean-up of the dialogue (I've been rushing a bit out of necessity to test if certain scripts work) and then test absolutely everything. There's already a few things I've encountered that just make no logical sense, so I'll need to get clever.

Clawing through the rest of the week. I'll have like...a million questionable quality Vermintide videos on reserve if I run out of things to post. Meanwhile just trying to get through the backlog as usual.
