With any luck your night is filled with fun and friends or how ever you enjoy to spend a night where you don't need to drag yourself out of bed at a ridiculously early hour.
I am extremely happy to report That Level 6 is built and complete! Although I am behind scheduale and should have been working on level 7 or ideally 8 today, it was not for lack of not trying. This is the first time I hit a wall in building/creating the levels in the game. It could happen at any time and the Shack Keeper is not immune to the dreaded artist block. (i.e. writers block for artists)
I started out having constructed the previous levels with a very clear view of what I wanted, and although I had an idea for this level it wasn't nearly as sharp. To date level 6 trumped them all in how much time I have spent going back to scratch on special items and props. 3 days (on and off remember I am a Dad and have a full time day job) and about 6 variations later it's done! So what do we have in the end? A very solid level that is worthy of being this level? Absolutely. Would I rather be writing that it's a masterpiece worthy of the time put in? Yes. but I don't believe that to be the case. Hitting the wall was bound to happen and I am glad it took this long to get here, but I am even more happy to be past it!
With that said this week I leave you with a look at something I played around with in between fighting my artist block. "Melon Girl" decided to drop by the shack and pose for a banner that might be used for the company profile page for the Melon shack on DLsite.com. Once our first game U.F.F. is complete. here's what we have:
Cheers,
and enjoy your night,
The Shack Keeper
