Took the day off, helped Sawyer a bit with his submission to the GMTK jam and then we finished up Far Cry 5. He’s really progressed a lot just in these past two days alone and it’s clear that, whatever the results of his submission end up being, he’s gained something far more important as a direct result of this: confidence in his abilities and potential growth as a creator, which I’d say is by far the hardest thing to find especially when one is at an early stage of experience like him. I’m quite impressed by the things he was able to learn for himself and accomplish relative to where he was when he began and I’m proud of him for having committed to this and seen it through to the end.

As for myself, well… although I didn’t actually do any writing today I did spend some time this afternoon thinking through various things and testing a few concepts for the main flow of events. I think tomorrow I’m gonna try to get that stuff down proper and formalise it a bit more, see if I can hopefully finish up a final draft of the overall chronology by the end of the week. I also started thinking about what I plan on covering for this month’s update; I’ll probably work on that on Tuesday.
