Rebuilding systems and scenes takes longer than you expect, but it’s the only way to make a game you’re genuinely proud to put your name on.

Week 3 goals are NPCs, a probably-rebuilt bridge, a locked-in Fractured Library map, and getting our architecture ready for beta - main aim is making the Woods feel more alive.

So the plan today is to catch up on the lost work from yesterday, try and keep the house as cool as possible (we're supposed to have a hot day today) and listen to the Superman soundtrack that just arrived on vinyl.

Yes! it's really good I read it a while back and I forgot about tales of the jedi which was messing it up in my memory - I think it's my preferred interpretation - I was just thinking about it the other day and I couldn't quite remember if something had superseded it - thanks for the reply!

Not sure if I have any #StarWars fans in my network but can anyone confirm that the Ahsoka novel by E. K. Johnston is consider canon in Star Wars?

Week one of 2026 (first full week counts, right?).
This week is all about pushing the Howling Woods re-release forward - eight maps to build and dress.
End-of-month release is feeling very doable now

The incredibly mind-numbing job of planting grass tiles for a new scene in Curse of the Howling Woods.
I mean, I’ve had worse jobs… but yeah, this one’s a slog 😅
Still, it’s one of those quiet steps that slowly turns a grey maze into an actual place you can explore.
