Bug Squishing is Serious Business

So, you'll never guess what happened to me one very specific hour while I was squishing bugs with my Developer's Boots (actual in-game item). I had a life-altering epiphany, and realized a lot of my work was actually kind of sloppy. Believe it or not, the two aren't related. But I'm going back through the Prologue and Act I, stomping out any bugs and/or glitches I run into. Seriously, though, you do not want to see the inside of this engine. Between the numerous redos, which I've kept, and the dozens of test maps, which I've also kept, I'm surprised all of the transfer events even work.

Bug squishing aside, I'm making slow but steady progress inside the database, creating new items, weapons and armor, and balancing/tweaking character stats and combat. Why didn't anyone tell me about the tedious parts of mak-gam? It looks so glamorous from the outside.

Anyway, I just thought I'd update those who were interested (much excite to have fifteen subscribers) in how the game's behind-the-database progress was coming along. Maybe next week I'll upload come screenshots of Act II. Til then, keep on keeping on.
