Continued good fortune to you. Think I'll be starting my run of that tonight, use that as a springboard to finally clearing the entirety of the D&D bundle.
Have a good night, sleep well. =)

Welcome back! *big hug*

Did your errands go okay? How are you today, is your knee feeling any better?

Errands a-ok, knee not so much but improving a bit. ;)

I haven't even started thinking about magic yet... but I have an idea of what I want (basically there are three types of magic; sight, which includes prophecies and farsight as well as being able to recall past events; art, traditional magic which can be used to affect the world, like fireballs and healing; and craft, which is basically the making of magical items, charms, living constructs like golems) and there will be a mana like system backing it up, but beyond that magic is still very much up in the air.

Honestly, it's going to happen anyway, so there's no need to hold back... :)
As long as I can keep telling myself that it will be 2D with ASCII art than I can manage everything else (art and complicated animation / physics is usually what gets me)

That's unfortunate that your knee is not doing so good, but I am glad to hear it is improving a little. Lets hope it will keep improving and will be fine in no time.

Have you have a nice day? Done anything interesting?

The perfect game has been sitting in my head slowly evolving for years, but I'm nowhere near having the time or skills to make it. What I'm planning now is a cut down version that should hopefully grasp a lot of bigger ideas and only miss out some of the eye candy and accessibility.
But if this iteration doesn't work, one of them will eventually :)

The problem was we booked events for the summer, and then got the regular local pitches which have been great and we would rather do, but we've got to do both side by side for now, which has left us with not many days where we don't have some work to do... I'm not too worried about the winter now as I think the local stuff will still go strong and we just won't bother with all the events we did last year that made no money, but we'll still try and put some money aside just in case.
Night, speak to you tomorrow :)

Welcome back :)

It happens a lot. No big thing there.

That's an interesting looking bed, but it'd cut into my game budget. -laughs-

It's good that the time passed well, at least. Will keep hoping that you get plenty of rest at night to make up for the workload so you're not wiped out during your downtime.

Right, should probably head to bed.

Nice talking to you all, see you tomorrow! :)

Night.

*retreats to his cave to dream of combat systems and attributes*

Night Adalia, sleep well.

Good evening. =)

Errands....yay.

Glad to hear your day's been all right. Sounds a lot like mine, only with more sleep on your end.

Well I am going to call it a night, these long days are tiring me out a little. Hopefully tonight I can actually get some sleep and not end up with some horrible memories coming back to me in my sleep and keeping me awake.

Take care, everyone, and have a good evening!

*goodnight hugs and waves*


I am glad you are taking it easy and not doing too much while you have a bad knee. Is the ice still helping with the discomfort?

Sleeping actually sounds like a very good idea. :-)


You are probably making a smart choice by picking something a little cut down from the original. Maybe if you aim for less complex games to start with, you will be able to get more experience and maybe even publish a few of the smaller games. This could help you in the long run of publishing your dream game.

Maybe a year of hard work this year will allow you to have more holidays next year. I am sure in the end all your hard work will be worth while and you will find a good balance between work and your personal life, something which is always hard when you work for yourself. Hopefully your local events will be viable for you during the winter months.

I think the picture is actually a sofa bed, but I am not sure it looks that comfy.

Thank you for the kind words and all your concern, you are very sweet, and I certainly appreciate it. I will be fine, hopefully I can get a full nights sleep tonight and I should be fine.

Have a night full of interesting dreams. ;)

Yeah, nice day. Chilly and windy outside so sleep seemed like a good choice. ;)

You're very welcome, and fingers crossed.

Have a good night, sleep well. =)
