Week 17: Slow week. But we are moving along!
ApathyBear's corner -
An ode to my sleeping pills,
My wonderful, colorful, miniature thrills,
If I'm back from a trip or can't stay up late,
It's you I need, and you patiently wait
Within my cabinet, with outstretched hands,
With promises to take me off to dreamlands.
I don't often indulge, 'cause then I'd be judged,
For only being able to sleep when I'm drugged,
But the long nights without you, I toss and I turn,
I get antsy and then the night oil I burn.
So I'm not ashamed! I need pills to sleep!
Don't tell me to read or simply count sheep!
Because without them, my mind, it feels so arrested,
And only with pills do I feel truly rested...
My feels. For both sleeping pills and Xeno (thanks for the spot, ya sweet potato).

The Code-
This week was a little slow. I was going back through some code and fixing a few bugs that I found. I have mapping worked out so that the map is displayed in chunks and new maps are drawn when close to an edge while old maps off screen are culled and removed. I'm also starting with implementing the MMO Room code. Getting the server and client talking and reporting location to all logged in. Once that is done, I'm working on movement and mapping click location to world location and drawing a path from where you are to where you should be.
The Story-
We aren't able to start writing the actual quests until we have some mechanics, area sizes, etc etc done, and can physically see what there is to work with.
Aside from little bits and maybe some tweaks, not much is going to change now until we hit that point.
The Art
I've started preparing working on little mock-ups for tiles as well as little tests for the user interface. The writing staff has created detailed descriptions of the initial areas so I'm excited to developing them. It's been a rather busy week for me irl though so sadly no visual updates this week.
There have been some nice submissions in the Easter art contest though so be sure to check those out if you haven't already! Art Corner

Not much to report now, I'll be frank and say that the story has hit the point where there isn't really anything we can do until we have a physical game and area to start making quests for.We aren't able to start writing the actual quests until we have some mechanics, area sizes, etc etc done, and can physically see what there is to work with.
Aside from little bits and maybe some tweaks, not much is going to change now until we hit that point.
