We're not done with the China pictures yet, but it'll be a few more days before I can post any more. Have been too busy to get around to it, unfortunately - and no, it's not just my new Mac stealing all of my spare time. (Although it certainly hasn't helped.)

It's been a busy weekend, and it will certainly be a busy week, with the next milestone looming on the horizon. This is an important one: it entails a bunch of important new gameplay features and pretty much every single location in the game - in very rough form. Our iterative production process means that we will have the game up and running and playable from beginning to end reasonably quickly, with graphics that can only generously be labelled 'primitive'. From that point on we'll focus on visual iterations across the board - animations, effects, textures, shaders, more detailed characters, weather, time of day, and so on - as well as gameplay tweaking and inclusion of more features. This is the only way to develop great games. (In my opinion, of course.) Things are on track and looking good.

As for my Mac: I love it to death, but I still prefer Windows XP to OS X. More to come.  ¶ 22:53
