The Twelfth Hour
I’m in the last third of Chapter 12! I might, however, need to go through several of the sections throughout the chapter again because I don’t particularly like how I wrote one of the characters. I’ve found that if the main character doesn’t feel like he’s behaving correctly in a scene, I probably haven’t made him angry enough. Apparently, that applies to one of the supporting characters as well. XD
Shattered Soul
The other programmer on the tech demo for Team KAIZEN’s 3D fighter Shattered Soul recently implemented better hitboxes. I stepped in for a few hours last week to fix a few problems with them. You can check out the current version of the demo in this video on the AddATudez Twitch channel.
The Writer’s Net
Extra Life’s official fundraising event was on Saturday. This year, I decided to raise money with a three-day hackathon where I continued work on The Writer’s Net, a .NET/C# MVC website for building and distributing non-linear books. It includes a map interface very similar to Adventurous Reader‘s. I started this project half-a-year ago, worked on it frantically for a couple weeks, and then returned to working on Team KAIZEN’s Burst!. For my hackathon over the past few days, I picked it up again and finished implementing the map- and book-viewing portion of the website. It’s ugly and buggy as hell, but it basically works. I plan to continue cleaning it up since I’m taking a break from Burst! for personal reasons. That said, I hope to stream that work as well as whatever I do on Team KAIZEN’s projects regularly on my Twitch channel.
