No.

While todays updates seem small, there was actually a lot more in the fabrics of the design that I could not really document very clearly for the viewer. I hope the documentation as well as the included screenshots on the screenshots page is enough to show what all I did.

Although, tomorrow I will be off from developing from this project. I have been called upon from a friend to collaborate with him in a group project. More information on this project will be available via my portfolio in the coming days. My job for the project is to perform the role of a pixel artist. Not many graphics are needed, so I should be done within the day.

Be back soon,
Aaron Bartlett - Lead Developer

Surprise, surprise! I ended up still being able to work on my game even though I had to help my friend Netwatcher with our collaberative project by creating a few graphics for him to use. Even though development time was somewhat lacking today, I still got a few things done.

I am going to inform you though, that no programming will be done for the next few days. This is because I am at the point where I cannot program very much without the necessary graphics. Meaning I am going to be spending the next few days creating my custom tiles, items and more sprites.

So until then,
