No pretty pictures today, though I got a bunch of work done yesterday. I created the dialog for the last two servants in your keep, the gardener and the lab assistant. I'm trying to make them useful in their own right. The assistant can distill weaker potions to make stronger ones. It seems like a decent way to "upgrade" items you wouldn't necessarily use. I'm still working on the gardener. I'm thinking about being able to ask her to focus on a single type of plant and that will grow more rapidly.

I redid my heartbeat script and included the garden growing code. I'm sure I'll have to tweak it so that the production seems balanced.

As for what today holds, I have a long list. I'd like to work more on the ice caves, putting in more variation (I currently only have a couple tiles in it). There's endless dialog to work on. I also have more of the initial cutscene to do. I may also start working on a test city area, even though I won't have the final city tileset for quite some time. Slowly getting there.
