Light and Shadow

Ah, good to be back! 3 weeks was a long wait XD

Cody, James, Eugene and Lincoln have shown us their results for the characters that they are modelling and they look great! Eugene already modelled the clothes and hair on the professor XD. Man that guy is fast. The others are showing progress too and if they continue this rate (or Eugene's rate =p) we should be able to finish all the characters in two weeks.

A couple of people have new drawings in terms of the places and vehicles. Some started to draw the maps and such and Jason and I got working on the game's logo. I thought of animating the title, like in Kingdom Hearts. Because when I first saw that in the game, I was like "Holy crap that's AWESOME!!!". So yeah, I started working on the title and I quite like the result. But I think it's too simple and "clean" because I done it in flash (what can I say, I suck drawing on paper rofl).

Other than that, yeah everyone started working again and I had a small meeting with the writers.

This part was a little annoying. Because during the meeting, I brought up about having "Money Quests" in the game and whether we should still have it. Jarred then said that we are going to take it out and instead have the main character do some errand for the tailor shopkeeper and in return, be awarded with the required clothing.

...

That's what I suggested in the very beginning before the story was finalized! Jarred doesn't seem to remember, but the thing is, during that time, I explained to the group why putting a money system in the game is rather irrelevant and a waste of time since you only need it in the beginning where you have to buy different clothes. So I suggested that we should just get the character to do an errand for the shopkeeper and, as a reward, be given the clothes. But in the end, they agreed with putting in money quests so I just played a long.

I laughed at it though, saying that nobody ever listens to me. Cody even went along with the joke and said "well done Jarred, you're a genius!" ROFL. But Cody remembered me suggesting that idea though so it's OK.

But yeah, I was a little annoyed at that though. But what's worse, is that this isn't the first time it happened! It actually happened before in the past and with the same person, Jarred XD lol.

But I didn't say anything about how I felt during the time though hehehehe. But I am now, because... well... this is a blog after all.

Anyways, yeah I think everyone has started working harder now and I think we should be able to finish this game in time. But I'm still worried.
