Lots of ups and downs this week. As I got closer and closer to finishing my album (AVAILABLE NOW!) the stress of having such a relatively substantial project mostly complete and yet not quite out there started to really eat…
It’s been a good week. The prototype panel is functional and the updated behavior editor works well, allowing re-ordering of behaviors and creation of new behaviors as well as easy access to all behavior control panels. Some buttons still need…
I made a bunch of progress on the entity editor. Making a lot of progress on the entity editor really made me feel even more like the past few weeks of minimal progress on non-essential aspects of the entity editor…

Everything is moving so slowly! Realistically, this is because I currently have my attention divided in a ton of different directions, between a music project I’m trying to wrap up and a plethora of disparate odd jobs I’m pursuing in…
There’s a disease that programmers catch frequently: MostGeneralCaseitis. Those infected find themselves unable to concentrate on the task at hand, no matter how trivial, and instead extrapolate outwards from it and try to solve the entire set of related problems.…
Well, so much for completing the entity editor this week. I’ve made some good progress, but, well, suffice it to say that I slightly underestimated the full challenge of building these control panels. There are several behaviors which are going…
