Well, it’s been a little while since I last posted. I’ve mostly been working on level design. I slept for a little, but was feeling very restless (I even got up again having turned my computer off for another hour or so). So i’m running on less than 5 hours of sleep which is less than ideal.

Level design is being fairly interesting and enjoyable, but boy is it taking a looooong time. I’d figured on spending around 3 hours on it total, and I’ve put in at least that amount just to get to the halfway mark. I kind of knew from the start that doing something so level-centric was going to be a tough call though, so there’s no-one to blame but myself. I *think* that’s a good thing.

There’s a build with the half-finished level design in at http://jwhiting.nfshost.com/ld/17/build05.swf .. If you get stuck you can usi vi-keys (hjkl) to move between the screens (badly).

Part of me wants to keep plugging away at the levels, but I think I’m probably best fixing up the many quirks and rubbish things, thinking about sound etc. now. I pretty firmly established last night that I can do the level design bits whilst v.tired, so I should do the harder things whilst I’m fresh.

Time to go and find some breakfast.
