I will prevail!

What's been done?

• Scene builder
•    Aside from the export function

Apologies for the delay but life has been a bit hectic T.T. I finally managed to find some time work though, when life wasn't making me it's bitch and the sun wasn't trying to kill me xD. Finished most of the scene builder so Newman doesn't need to keep going through dozens of layers disabling and enabling various pieces. He can now quickly switch between all the pieces and scenes and when something has multiple layers it will automatically hide the other ones, yay! This should help speed up the script writing process even more =3

We also had a long chat about the next update so I'm more aware of what will be in it and can give better estimates on when I'll be done with everything. I'm still very bad with estimates though xD

What's next?

• Combat
•    New enemies and moves
• Passing time mechanic rework
• Cam rework

Combat will be another doozy, we'll be adding 2 new enemies and Gwen will enter the fray! Gwen will bring with a whole new range of abilities so I'll have my hands full with the mechanics, let's hope nothing breaks this time xD.

I'll also be reworking the pssage of time mechanic and with it the cams. The PoT mechanic was originally a very simple and small function but I've been adding to it every update and it's starting to grow out of hand. It's a big unwieldy beast and while it technically still works, it ain't pretty and I'm not sure how long it's heart will keep beating so I decided it's better to rework it now than wait for it to crash and burn. This will mean a rework of the cam system as well as sadly they are intertwined with the passing of time T.T .

Boring life stuff

Life has been rather hectic for a while now and that's also the reason for the picture above. Due to my disabilities I've never been too good at adulting and my mother has played a very important role in my life becuase of it. So it kinda hit me hard when they found something in her lungs.. They took tests for weeks and still didn't know what it was, only that it had to be removed.. But with the way lungs work you can't just cut a small bit, you have to cut out an entire section.. The lungs consist out of only 5 sections, so she was going to lose 20% of her lung capacity.. On top of her COPD that had already brought her down to 70%..

The operation was a success and she's been recovering slowly, she's able to take a shower without being exhausted for the rest of the day, so that's something =D. Turns out the thing in her lungs is cancer though, so she'll be having a bunch of check ups for the coming years, but let's hope this was the end of it..

This alone took a lot of out me and I was happy to leave all this behind me.. So ofcourse I wake up to one of my balls being 3 times it's normal size... Luckily it shrank rather quickly but after a week it was still hurting a bit so I decided to go to the doctor.. Had several hospital visits now and they still have no clue wtf is going.. Sooo fun times T.T.

Here I though I could finally destress a bit after the endless bughunt of 0.04 but nope, when work finally cooled down a bit, life took over T.T. There's been some other minor things as well like attending a weekend-long event (this alone usually drains me for a week), had friends stay over for said event and thus had to clean up my house (which took a while T.T) and have company I rent from breath down my neck cause my front yard is a bit messy >.>

But hey, I finally managed to get some work done, so.. Yay? Also, apologies for the long post, but I felt like I needed to give you guys an update on my life as well xD

Let's hope life will chill the fuck down for a bit =3
