Sprint 008, day 2

Added 2020-02-18 22:16:05 +0000 UTC

Hey guys! I made a new Trello so you can track task progress.

Today was such a greta day! I got up at 0600, and completed the following tasks:

[T16] Prep avatar mouth, lipstick & eyeshadows art
[T3] Add "Quick Start in Dubai" function

That's 8 story points completed. 30 to go! I'm actually ahead of schedule for once, which I take as a sign that everything is about to go to ratshit.

Anyway, I'm enjoying the feeling while I can. The "Quick Start in Dubai" function now lets you jump right to the new scene – with your character, not a pregenerated one – without having to play through the whole game to get there. If this is popular, we'll try and do it more in the future.

The prep work on the avatar was to begin fixing a technical problem that's preventing us adding new mouth art to the game. (Including new agent faces – we have more coming soon, including Piper Perabo, Olivia Wilde, Denise Richards and selfies from an actual fan of the game :-D and also new agent racial options).

As a side benefit, the new mouth art method makes it a lot easier for us to create attractive lipstick shades. I know that this is literally a cosmetic feature, but makeup options should be an easy way for you to individualise your agent's look in the game.

Right now lipsticks are a huge pain in the ass to create, and they all look kind of ugly anyway, but I made these test shades in about 90 seconds today:

Okay, that's all for today. More on the next dev day, which is tomorrow! I'm going to grab an early night in the hope of having another awesome dev day. See you then.
