A Short One

Greetings and salutations!

For this week's screenshot, a look at the (work-in-progress) "pit" area, an earth-and-stone cavity beside the tomb, connected to it in places where the tomb has begun to give way:



The week just past was a very slow one, I feel. Still, some work did get done, both on the level itself and on more technical points:

Tables, Tiles, and Climbing

Greetings and salutations!

For this week's screenshots a look through the breach in the first of the lower tombs, showing some of the progress made on the tomb beyond:




The week just past feels, I think, both somewhat slow and somewhat productive; I suppose that, while I didn't get as much done as in some weeks, I'm fairly happy with some of what I did get done:

Light in the Tombs

Greetings and salutations!

This week's screenshots show a cool glow illuminating one corner of the tomb:

(And, confessedly, some unfinished geometry. ^^; )




The week just past was a bit of a slow one, I feel. For the most part, work focussed on the first level, with a few excursions into other elements:

Of Animal Signs, Room-Work, and Technical Challenges

Greetings and salutations!

For this week's screenshots, a look at the progress made on the first of the lower tombs, and a glimpse of the room beyond:




The week just past once again focussed primarily on building the first level--but there were a few technical challenges and changes, too.

Reworking Mural Distressing

Greetings and salutations!

For this week's screenshot (or rather screenshots), the revised versions of the murals that I believe that I showed last week:




The week just past was focussed on the first level:

A Variety of Progress

Greetings and salutations!

Once again, I have a few images to share this week, and so intend to scatter them throughout the post. They should be a little more relevant to their preceding paragraphs than were last week's, however!

To start with, a look at two of the murals adorning walls in the lower tombs. Though somewhat damaged, they're far better preserved than those in the entry-room:



The week just past was a productive one, I feel, and one with a bit of variety: I worked on level-geometry, UI-textures, the logic and UI of the save-game system, and the aforementioned murals. To elaborate:

Saving and Loading Revisited

Greetings and salutations!

This week I have a few screenshots to show, covering the progress made towards the first level. As a result, I intend to scatter them throughout the post, both preventing this initial section from becoming too long and breaking up the text below. None of the rooms shown are complete, but they're getting there, I believe.

To start with, the room at the foot of the spiral stairs. It's a simple ante-room--but flakes of paint on the walls suggest that there were paintings here once, the forms of which are now lost. (The model used for the table is intended to be temporary.)



This week was another productive one, I feel! Conceptually, it was split between technical matters and artistic ones:

Deeper into the Tombs

Greetings and salutations!

For this week's screenshot, an update of sorts to last week's gif: some books and pages can now be read, having survived the passage of years rather better than the book shown last week:



The week just past was a fairly productive one, I think!

Things Ill-Preserved

Greetings and salutations!

This week's screenshot shows some of the contents of the first tomb, in particular its books. Alas, the contents of the room have fallen to ruin, and the books are rotted beyond reading.



The week just past was much more productive than the two before it, I do believe! For the most part, it focussed on art:

A Question of Lore

Greetings and salutations!

For this week's screenshot, a look at the still-work-in-progress "old corpse" model that I've been working on (or rather, the skull thereof), taken from within Blender:



The week just past was a very short one! Between Easter and various other calls on my time, I ended up working on the project far less than I usually do, I believe. A little got done, but not much.

Since there's little progress to discuss, then, I want to use this blog post to ask for feedback on a matter that I've been pondering of late: how to approach lore entries.
