A small update

Well, since I took the VN off a NaNoRenO schedule and put it on a regular schedule, I haven't worked on it hardly at all. What I have done: I think I'm done with the UI now. The only thing that I still need to do if find the font that I want to use. I am totally procrastinating starting on the backgrounds. I never really learned to draw landscapes or anything... >_<
The thing is that I have to draw the backgrounds before doing the sprites, for various reasons. The sprites depend on the backgrounds. At the moment, my plan is to sketch them, or at least draw them in pencil, then get working on the sprites. And I'll probably do them in vector then, from the pencil sketches. I already tried vectoring them straight, and that didn't work.

In other news, I've gotten back to working on Paper Tiger. Not too much progress as far as functionality goes right now. It's got a sort-of command-line interface now. I'm working on re-writing the way the sprite is drawn. It's still going to be a bit unwieldy for a while. I got a netbook recently, which means that I've been getting a bit more done, since I don't have to be at home to work on it (I'm almost never at home, actually) but now I'm running into trouble with keeping the version on my desktop and the version on my netbook in sync. So now I can't work on it because I don't have the latest version on me.

Anyway, that's enough whining. I'm still going for having a very bare-bones face drawer done by the end of the month.
