@webafrica Please assist me, I am dealing with a call centre agent that does not understand my requirements and is also refusing to escalate to someone who might be able to.

Taking a break from the village and started working a little on a snowy inn. Player has a torch now. Useful for wondering around in the snow (or dungeon).

Today was focused on making combat fun, adding a quest, creating some images for the bestiary. Over the weekend I finally settled on a name and a loading screen. I've omitted the name here (don't want you registering the domain before I do ;)

New maps and new items to go along with them.

Today was a character portrait day. 5 so far including the hero (the blue guy). And yes, there's a talking fish.

@CartechiniEros Woah! Your work is fantastic. But, cards on the table, I am doing this solo with no budget. I am hoping to get some cash from a backing POV early next year (Kickstarter etc.), but right now I've got zero dollars.

[crayg @crayg]

This has a visual novel element to it (conversations are important), there needs to be character portraits that are pretty big and expressive. Today I did some work on the main character's portrait. Will be iterated.

@CartechiniEros Heya, I absolutely do! You got a link to some samples?

What good is an NPC if they don't have a big exclamation mark floating above their heads?

Have begun working on interiors. Just procrastinating though. Need to get to first quest and combat prototype. Have no idea what that will look like tbh.

@rpginabox Thank you! I'm going for the minimalist @cavesofqud vibe. I love the software you've made!

Still working on tile graphics. Pictured is the start of the starting map. Work has started on the initial tutorial quests and characters. Completed a rework of the forest tiles.

Hello everyone. I've begun work on an isometric RPG with a kick-starter go-live aimed at end January. Progress has been good with a lot of map tiles done. This is just a test map to play with art styles.

Really @TIME? You're making me threaten you with legal action over a subscription cancellation?

[crayg @crayg]

@nickjackson @TIME That sounds fantastic. I think I'm nearly at the end of this protracted journey with their customer service person, although the latest request is an address from 11 years ago when I took out the subscription. Why that's relevant is beyond me.

[crayg @crayg]

Oh hello X, been a while. Just a fair warning, avoid @TIME subscriptions. The backing and forthing with customer service to do something as simple as cancel is bordering on a contravention of the CPA.

@WetilitySA Ad popped up while I watching a Fox news clip about illegal immigrants and crime in the US. When she starts talking about how the 'little guy up here' is smart. Hilarious.
