It’s hard to keep coming up with a new blog every day but I don’t care! I’m doing it! Plus it helps with our google ranking. =)

So for today’s exciting blog I’m going to tell you what I’m doing. I’m just starting work for the day which is usually when I write blogs. Mostly because it’s easier than working on the game. But on the plus side, after I finish I’ve already done something so it’s easier to transition into work.

Each night before I stop working I write a list of jobs for the next day. If I start the day without a list I get a lot less done than if I have a nice list. I’ve also noticed a link between the prettyness of the list and how much I get done.

So here’s my list for today:

Put real data in the menus

If you’ve seen the menu screens you may have noticed the placeholder text. Now I get to go through each menu and put in the final text. I also need to use real party data so when you open the party menu it will show your real party members and their hp and so on.

Finish last menu screens

There’s a few menu screens that still need some work. The biggest ones are the equip screen and the party swapping screen. The equip screen has been put off because I couldn’t decide on a layout. The party swapping has been delayed because it needs to work with keyboard or mouse but I’ve figured it out now.

Skill and state data

The battle system is pretty close to finished. There’s nothing big left to do, mostly just small fixes and improvements. So now I need to fill in all the data for skills and states. We still have a couple of special moves and team moves to figure out so I’ll probably make Andrew help me with that later.

So I should probably get started now

Now that I have my list of jobs for the day I have no reason to not get started but don’t worry, I’ll think of something! If I do get all of these jobs done I’ll be quite pleased but it’s more likely that I’ll hit a roadblock and spend ages on one small thing. But at least that small thing will end up being awesome!
