- Fish now randomly submerge.
- It a fish hears you approach it will submerge.
- I reduced the time it takes to catch a fish for this video.

Today in the world of being an Indie Dev, I'll make a building appear out of thin air, or out of my inventory.

Of course, this all because my chickens need a place to live.

Today in the world of being an Indie Dev, I taught my chicken how to eat. She's a very good eater.

She would eat every blade of grass on the map if given the chance.

I invited a few chickens over, and of course, they brought all their friends.

There are 26 billion chickens on the planet.

Enslave humanity, or save it?

I've been working on the dialogue with Silvanus Rex, a character who wants to enlist your help in enslaving humanity.

What's your choice?

Today, in my game The Isle of Elanor, I created a Zelda based cooking system.

Each cooking ingredients provides individual buffs.

Today, in my game The Isle of Elanor, I drew this bookshelf and got it working. It stores books, of course.

If you look closely at the video, you can see the titles of the books.

Today, in my game The Isle of Elanor, I drew this beehive and got it working. It produces honey, of course.

If you look closely at the video, you can see the little bees emerging from the beehive.

Today in my game, The Isle of Elanor, I drew this architectural wonder and placed it in the village of Woolwich.

What shall I make of it? A mercenary guild? A magician's hall.

We shall see.

Today, in my game The Isle of Elanor, I programmed harvesting fruit from my Red Leaf Plum Trees.

How many years after first doing this activity in Animal Crossing?

I drew this fish trap today, and put it into my game, the Isle of Elanor.

I tried to convince the fish to jump into the trap, but the fish DO NOT listen.

Why don't the fish listen to me?

So, this morning, I programmed the random generation of sea shells for my game the Isle of Elanor.

Is this too many?

I haven't been to the seashore in quite awhile. How many of these things naturally occur?

I'm working on my game, the Isle of Elanor, this morning. I just put in the random generation of sea shells.

From your expertise as a game designer, is this too many?

I added 3 trees to my game the Isle of Elanor: apple, birch and red leaf plum.

You can see the birch tree here. I know, structurally, it's not much like a birch tree, which is very sad. :(

Working on this Tavern today for my game.

I'm not very good at this pixel art thing. What do you think of it?

I added these two butterflies, the Peacock Butterfly and the Zebra Swallowhead, to my game.

If you chop down the flowers in my game, you kill the butterflies

Here's a location that didn't exist a few hours ago. So I:

1. Created this NPC. His name is Ward Torvin. He needed armor so I drew his helmet.
2. I drew the arched, locked, double door guarding the entrance to the Duke's court.

I created these little guys today for my game The Isle of Elanor. I'm calling them Chasuka in tribute to Zelda's Chasupa.

I'm going to make a ranged attack for them where they shoot lightning from their eye ball.

More buildings and architecture.

I've been reworking and positioning this tower which belongs to the Duke in my game The Isle of Elanor. The Duke is not an entirely friendly character.
