it's come to my attention that some people still read this and are awaiting updates! sorry, it's been too long. here are some quick updates ( Read more... )

i'm going to report on non-editing game changes as i do them here, my main focus right now is on editing but when i make changes to the game's code/features i will report them here as per normal ( Read more... )

quick update on the SD writing process: things are going well. still working on improving the game's writing, story, and the wording of the dialogue. my cousin carrie eres (on lj her username is rebukes or something like that) is going to be helping me with this process ( Read more... )

- i have been revising  the SD script (well, reading it and writing down revision notes that i'll edit into the files at the end of the process) roughly at a pace of 10 pages per day. this is slower than i'd like, but it's steady. there are about 15-25 changes per page that i write down; mostly having to do with minor issues of wording, but ( Read more... )

- created a wonderful spectrum visualizer for the sound effect test in the options screen. it's a lot of fun to see what different sound effects in the game "look" like. it was also useful for detecting "clicks" at the end of a couple of sounds that i may later want to clean up in audacity
