saw some messages on the discord while packing so giving impromptu update. this project is not dead but on hiatus likely for minimum 3 weeks - 4 max <3

currently on holiday out the country for the next two weeks.

at home almost everything i own is in boxes. tl;dr a building project was started at the end of may that snowballed into the house being redone. the origional time scale was only supposed to be a week or so. between that, a friend being ill, a home buisness being retired, a pet dying and holiday prep the only time i've been on the computer was as stress relief for my brain dead self ;p

i was hoping to surprise you folks by popping up with finished animations and icons and a bunch of behind the scenes stuff complete to make map building/inventory more streamlined but i think its fairer to give those of you still interested a run down of what i'm hoping to get done. think i've mentioned alot of this stuff before but here are my plans for this project anyway in rough order i will approach them:

- avatar updates
- finish all map tiles. atm i draw the maptiles as needed and save them to a library, but if i just do all of them in a big batch getting updates out will be even quicker.
- setup templates for post types. again, atm i just cheekily copy a previous post and edit it. setting up a proper template library will improve timing for things.
- proper charatcer face icons. headers, basically. first batch of these will likely be static but i'm working on consistant character expressions so i want to roll out animated ones in the long term.
- animated character - just for the inventory screen, some of you saw hawkeye harold's prototype. gonna colour that and have one for every character eventually.
- sprites updated with weapon/inventory loadout - it was always the plan from day 1 to have sprites customised. right now this is the case with clothing but i'm not confident with drawing firearms. it's somethng i'm working on improving so we can have our characters with shiny guns ;D

that's all the main things that have been on my mind. for those interested i will eventually be launching a new rp and forum game but not for a few months. want to have this and my art thread all sorted in a way i'm happy with.

i think thats everything. let me know if you have any suggestions for when this properly reboots. sorry again for the radio silence and thankyou to those of you still willing to stick it out with your scatterbrained GM :P
