I sometimes feel like a one-man band when working on these modules - guitar in hand, kazoo pressed against my lips, and bagpipes under my armpit. That's one of the best parts for me, as I get to work on all the different aspects of game development. If I get tired of writing dialog, I can move on to scripting. If scripting becomes boring, it's on to 3D modeling. I get to have a taste of everything.

Lots of progress, in funny and different ways. There was an issue with the OnHit code I'm using, but the author fixed it so that it now works correctly for arrows. Expect some unusual ones in there. I also worked more on the end scenes, though they're not quite to my liking yet. I worked a bit on one of the final placeables this morning, getting the animation down. It's starting to feel like the game development phase is finally wrapping up.

Danmar e-mailed me his latest tileset creation, a castle exterior. He was having pathfinding issues with his ramp, so I'm trying to help him out in hopes that I can get a castle tileset out of him. Otherwise I'll be reduced to fiddling with the city tileset to make it more castle-like.
