Sucking Slightly Less
So - the Stomach Flu Diet! I tried it, and lost 4 pounds in just two days! Wow.

I mean, ugh.

Yesterday I was starting to improve - thus I was able to throw a blog up and finally export that Mosquootie that I was working on last weekend. Today I'm beginning to feel human again. My stomach is still not acting too keen about accepting solid food yet (or even too much water at one time), but I can actually function again. Go me!

I managed to get some texturing done on my cootie-bug. He's looking less like a cootie now. I gave him antennae, gave him a slightly rounder back, bulged out his eyes so he's got less of a ball for a head, and did a little bit of work on his legs. And I textured him. He still looks like crap --- but maybe if I don't make him THAT giant people won't notice the crap texture work... Nah. Gotta re-do his texture at some point. But it was a good learning experience. Now I get to try rigging and animation in Blender. Once I get a nap. And try once again to re-hydrate myself.

Cute, ain't he? Well, not as cute as the cootie-bug version, but hey - I'm a newbie. But I got the "mad cootie bug modeling skillz," as Dave Meyers said. So I got dat goin' for me - which is nice!

On the game coding front, I'm looking at ripping things apart before making too many more improvements. I had an experimental system for action queuing that sounded like a great idea in my head, but once I got it implemented and working perfectly, it turned out to be far uglier to use than I'd hoped. So it's gotta be stripped out. I'm not looking forward to that task, even though it's not going to be that big of a deal.
