Minor but important progress. Holidays (and Skyrim) were not as conductive as hoped to progress.
Map entities (monsters and PCs) now scan for the nearest visible targets within their field of view and as within LOS on the level map.
Monsters now have a new behavior available on spawn which is to start stalking a Random PC.

So the theory is, I want to be working on around 3 pieces at a time,
However now it’s full steam ahead! GFW is moving in next week and tons to do around the house before then.
Playing a bit of the Sims 3 and it’s very good and a radioactive black vortex that you can easily dump seemingly endless amounts of time into.
Then as soon as live gets settled and the summer excercise routine gets picked up again (ate too much on vacation and now I have a bad case of Bahamian Guilt) then I’m itching to spend some time wrapping up the monster painting that’s been hanging unfinished in the kitchen for 5 months now.
It’s been a bit longer than I’d like for this post. But It’s been a hot wet, take it easy kind of summer break. But it’s time for school season to kick off and that means a return to a… Read more: Slow hot summer doldrums
