I worked on the workshop scripts yesterday and created icons for the various ingredients in the game. Some are used to construct traps, while others are used in making potions. I still need to fix the alpha blending on a couple of them, but I'm generally happy with how they turned out.

I made my first trap in the game, which was a neat little experience. It took me awhile to get all the "decrement stack" scripts working right. It now takes away the appropriate amount of spirit coin as well as any ingredients. Now I've just got to implement the other seven traps (31 if you count the different levels). It's just typing, though, so it shouldn't be too bad.

I also hooked the very first bits of a skill system into the trap making piece. There's an "artifice" skill with is separate from the official "Construct Trap" skill. It basically lets you do things with the workshop and increases as you use it. I have other skills planned, though this is the first.
