I got a funny Christmas card from Jay at Bioware

I got a funny Christmas card from Jay at Bioware. I think it's from my almost-contract with them years ago. They're such great guys that they continue to send along Christmas cards. My favorite was the Jade Empire one from a couple years ago. There were paper cut-out action figures for each of the characters. My kids shredded them, of course, but not after lots of fun games.

I've been very good this New Year, doing hours of debugging. The most elaborate fix was adding situation-specific hints to the psionic combat section. It'll give you general hints, as well as suggesting certain creatures to exploit your foe's weaknesses.

Jessica has been a debugging maniac and I'm less than halfway through her reported issues. The most obscure was a continuity issue with Daniel's last name in the first module, something no one noticed until now. Gold star, Jessica.

Yesterday I worked on some tilesets for the alphabet assault game. Tiles have always been a pain to work with, and NWN2 is no easier. After lots of work, I think I made seven new ones, with only minor weirdnesses.
