About a fourth through the time limit now.  I worked for about six hours (started a 9PM local time) before going to sleep for about 4.  So far I have the rather amorphous player animated, controls implemented, all the desired abilities that the player can acquire via the aforementioned theme, and the HUD.  Not bad so far.  I’m a transition point in development and need to work on something completely different, so I’m not sure if I will do enemies or level loading next.
