Like so many others, I've come down with a serious case of Fallout 3 addiction. It's been holding me back, but I'm getting more work done now. I'm working on the battle mechanics; it's DBS, but I'm testing moves and status effects. It's looking good so far.

Yesterday, I released a corrected version of the game, fixing the walk-on-water problem the first version had. I'm thinking of redoing several sections of the game, as well. This isn't as scary as it sounds, because progress didn't pick up until October, anyway.

However, it should at least be playable now. I just want to make it better.

Mikemc - Sometime between 09:00 and 20:00, Monday to Sunday.
Today I haven't done anything yet but I still have some time. I need to finish my waterfall but I still haven't found the right animated water to use for the river yet.

Today, I went through EVERY EVENT and disabled my custom menu at the top, and enabled it at the bottom of every event, and before every End Event Processing and Erase Event command.

DAMN. Tedious starts to describe it...

Ugh. Piddled around with Mage Duel a bit today. Finished the eventing for the end of the Zur the Enchanter fight (Act II miniboss). That leaves me with four regular mages, six monsters, and one boss fight to go in Act II.

I'm having a lot of trouble working up the will to work on Mage Duel or anything else right now. The project's salad days are over, and I haven't got my second wind on this project yet.

I demand a boss that swaps bodies with you and uses your skills on you, while you fight back with the boss's spells, one of which is Body Swap.

Body Swap!... Body Swap! ...Body Swap! ...etc.

...Feel inspired?

I was also planning something a little bit....maybe 10%... like that already for the boss of Act II. But that's honestly a pretty neat idea. I just don't think it has a place in Mage Duel.

I figured for a second to last boss in Act II or III. something like that.

Also, perhaps an enemy that starts removing your skills one at a time completely, then returning it and sealing another one, would be a pretty difficult challenge.

11/20-11/23 Worked on research for my game, wrote a rough draft of the first chapter.
Going to do some brainstorming on the system and get my characters to my secret artist helper whom I hope will get me some kickass artwork!

Here's what I accomplished.

-Lost my phone.

Now, since my work was saved on my phone, I have to download my own game to continue work on it.
