I've gotten the following added to DaisyDust in the last week-and-a-bit:

• Drinkable potions
• Items that affect multiple layers on the paperdoll (this is used for big weapons that are in front of and behind the player)
• You can throw things (targeting a square that you've already seen; yes right now you can throw all the way across the map)
• Items in your inventory stack now

In addition, I messed around a little bit with some sound stuff. I may have something more interesting to report in that vein later.

In other news, Ashayta is chugging along and I'm slowly making decisions about my next project (which will actually be the Geas-related RPG I've mentioned in the past).

I have not done much with Lichen for the last several weeks. I need to get back on it, but my time outside of work has been otherwise occupied with two things:

Ashayta: We've finally started posting pages for Ashayta again. Read! Tell your friends!

Daisy Dust: I've started working on a Flash rogue-like called 'Daisy Dust'. (To be more accurate, I've resurrected the project.) I'm working on this with a cool guy and awesome artist that I know, Hyptosis. Basically, he wanted to do art for a rogue-like but finds programming tedious, and I had ideas and some old attempts at a graphical rogue-like but always found myself stuck at producing art for it. This way, we both get what we want out of the project. It's been a blast so far.

In terms of development, we're currently at a stage where we're close to having something that actually resembles a 'game'. I've got a few more things to polish up, and he's got a few more things he wants to draw, and then I'd say we're in something like a playable alpha state. Exciting! When we're in that stage I'll probably post a SWF somewhere. Maybe!

In the mean time here are some pictures:

Huzzah!

And yeah, I know a bounce around projects a lot. I used to be worse about it. :(

I've just posted up an old comic that I did a while back.

Let's get this out of the way first: The comic is terrible. Even if you're my mom you don't have to like it. It sprang from me having an idea for a very short stupid joke (see the first comic on the page there) and sketching it out in Paint.

It was kind of fun in that "har har I make dumb joek" way, so I figured I would make a few more until I got sick of it. The idea was to spend no more than fifteen minutes, including writing, drawing, and updating of the original HTML page that held them all, on any one strip.

I got five strips done, and received a guest strip (somehow). Then I stopped. Unless my judgment begins to repeatedly fail me, I don't think I'll be doing any more, but I figured I'd stick it up there anyway.
