Good Morning soot. connie, Draclvr, hagatha, Fogfighter, and everyone! Wide awake Double Dark Brew is ready to start your day.

Hard to believe its Friday already! A three day weekend ahead here in the USA. I always try and take the wekends off from chores or paperwork...just enjoy time to do whatever I feel like...gaming or an extra walk or two...whatever strikes my fancy!

Hope you all get a good start to your weekend today!

I managed to make it through The Heart of the Teddy Bear but I did miss 4 of the gift boxes. (I guess those are achievements or something.)

I'm on Day 5 of Gabriel Knight but needed to take a break from it today.

I just finished Abandoned: Chestnut Lodge Asylum. It stayed pretty good to the end. I did skip one slider puzzle. I missed 3 morphing objects. The game started out pretty easy but all of a sudden I had a bunch of inventory and no place to use it, and things I needed that I didn't have. Slowly but surely I figured it all out though. You sometimes don't know (or at least I didn't) that you needed to do something somewhere.

I picked up the first two of those Gaslamp Cases games during the last BOGO so I can try them out. They have a few in the January Bundles that I might pick up also.

And now I've finished Spellarium2.

Will have to see what I feel like starting tomorrow.

Shaken, not stirred, please.

Tress continues to practice her braided cornrow technique, convinced she's the best in the field!

After a couple of literary detours, I am finally reading the last two books in The Wheel of Time. What a shame that Brandon Sanderson didn't write the whole thing. Great story; awful execution. Jordan had a fine imagination but he was a really terrible novelist.

Thank you, BrownEyedTigre

Good luck!

Update

I’ve been able to make solid progress on the project so far.

- A new sketch has been commissioned for the Peru location. I worked with a new sketch artist, and the exterior scene is now completed. Work on the museum interior has started.
- I’ve begun converting the sketch to pixel-perfect quality myself, which will later be refined by a pixel artist.
- I was able to pay for a Steamworks subscription and am preparing the game for an Early Access release on Steam, including adding core menu and settings functionality.
