Got the submission finished and submitted by just after noon. All of the work today was spent on writing item descriptions and blocking UI elements. I actually ended up restoring the original list-based item menu over the radial menu for this one: I’m just not really satisfied with the appearance of the latter currently. I’d like to experiment with switching over to an icon-based format at some point in the near future. I also ended up replacing all the occurrences of IM Fell English with Fixedsys: much more compact, and fits the non-aliased nature of the rest of the visuals better. Lastly, I removed the Chromium browser: as interesting as it is, it’s completely unusable outside of Windows, and right now, causes a major memory leak as well which I can’t be bothered to figure out.

I kinda feel like shit, to be honest, but only physically: otherwise, I actually feel pretty satisfied with my work for once. I have very little faith in the build itself but at least I got it done and in – and now I most certainly have a much better idea of exactly where I’m at with development, and what I need to target for an actual demo release.

I think I’m going to take tomorrow off, at least partially. I don’t know what I’m going to do yet but at the very least, I need to reorient myself physically.
