Progress Update

Alright! I promised myself I'd try to actually keep my patrons informed of how things are going, even if I'm not a people person (At All) and don't normally think that way. So, this update is a bit of a good news/bad news situation.

Thankfully, the bad news isn't THAT bad, so I'll get it out of the way first. Simply put, I didn't get as much done this weekend as I had hoped. Weekends are the best time for me to get a lot done, just as they are for most people, but I hit several stumbling blocks this past weekend. First, I discovered something, code-wise, that TWINE can't really do and that kinda set me back an hour or two's work while I redid a bunch of stuff to account for it. That hour or two was MAJORLY frustrating, too, since the TWINE documentation is kinda ass and I couldn't figure out what on earth was breaking my (frankly fairly simple) code.  

On top of that...I kinda got overenthusiastic with The Dungeon of Lewdity room I was working on. As you've all probably realized by now, I tend to get a bit caught up in ideas and go a little overboard on something, screwing up my overall time table. That happened here...but it's also the good news.

The good news being that, effectively, I wrote two rooms for the Mental Path instead of one. Neither is QUITE the same complexity as the previous room in that path, but both are large enough that they might as well be entirely separate rooms -_- . Moreover, the plans I have for the other two rooms are both a little on the complex side...this one was actually supposed to be the shortest. It wasn't. I only just finished debugging it about 20 minutes ago (at 3:50 am or so).

So, plus side, the first update to The Dungeon of Lewdity is going to be a bit bigger than I'd really intended. Negative side...I have my doubts about being able to finish it by my original goal of the 15th. I'm going to be on a short business trip from the 16-18th and probably won't get anything done (I always swear I'm going to do a lot in the dead time in hotel rooms...and almost never do anything at all -_-). So, if I don't finish before I leave, the build might not get done until around the 20th. 

I'm going to still TRY to push for getting it done by the 15th...but I also need to put my nose to the grindstone on the artwork for Cosplay Cafe. I had intended to do the linework for the next piece while I waited for the poll about Alice's hair color to run it's course, but with the slow downs in work on The Dungeon of Lewdity, I didn't get that done over the weekend either -_-. 

Soooooo, nothing DIRE, just not quite going as smoothly as I had hoped. There's still no fear of the update to DoL not coming this month or anything. It's just a matter of exactly when it will be ready and how much art for Cosplay Cafe I get done along with it. 

P.S. Daylight savings time fuckery also didn't help. Yeah, I live somewhere where that's still a thing. And I lost one of my most productive hours of the day to it >_<.
