Waiting, Resting, and Considering

First, the wait for responses to my pitch from publishers continues... (Although I have received one more "decline" response since last week's blog-post, I believe.)

Second, I may be taking time off, but the urge to create and my passion for this project have been growing again.

Indeed, I've spent a little time considering a technical matter related to my handling of the camera in the game.

Specifically, as things stand the camera in Moons in Crystal is, despite appearances, in truth pointed straight downwards, with the appearance of a tilted view being faked--something that I fear produces complications, and perhaps inefficiency.

I'm tempted, then, to switch to a truly tilted view--but this would call for some reworking.

Further, there's the complication that a standard tilted orthographic view would, I believe, foreshorten the horizontal plane, which I fear might interfere with aiming and movement. To this end, I'm considering an oblique projection--but I don't yet know how good this will look...

And finally, I've spent some time at the concepts for certain of the moons that I have in mind, as well as their places in their solar-systems (and at updating the design-doc to reflect these ideas).

That then is all for this week--stay well, and thank you for reading! ^_^
