A quick aside. I got home last night, and it's been cold so I went to the heater to turn it up. It was at 10 degrees inside. Thats lower than I've ever seen it. So I go away after turning it up and come back. It's 9 degrees... I crank it, and I can hear it running and come back after my toes are starting to get numb. It's now 8 degrees... I went to sleep with 4 blankets and woke up the next morning with the inside of the house being 3 degrees. It was actually WARMER inside my fridge. I hope the heating is fixed by the time I get home..
Today has just been tuning the gameplay code we have to get it working well. A bit of bot AI, fixing bugs with the size grow feature. And getting a lot of good feedback from Todd Batty, one of our mentors. Johan has been working on level design scenarios. We both really want to nail that gameplay aspect and there's a lot to it, I think he's starting to feel it. Feedback on the charge attack has been a bit negative too causing us to rethink things. One of the biggest problems is that the animation doesn't fire properly so it's hard to see when you start charging. But even with that, people want interaction in all they do. Makes sense, but I must admit, I am surprised to the level. So fixing gameplay and tuning is prime on our list, starting with charge.
Milestone two will have a build availible, but it won't be something I'm going to be too happy with. We are getting through it, it's just slow, despite the insane work we've put in.
