Very little practical progress today because I spent most of my time stuck on the actual design of the meditation system. I prototyped dynamic bubble-based system but something about it doesn’t feel quite right to me… it just doesn’t look that good in practice even if the idea behind the design is sound. I need to spend more time running some more concepts but I think by now I’m leaning towards a more static approach, which will take more time to set up but allows me to work with more potentially interesting visual layouts. This is one of the worst parts of development by far, getting stuck on visual solutions…

I also switched out Batang for a font called IM FELL English. I’m not sure if I’m gonna stick with it yet but its texture is certainly more interesting in a different way. I like the way it looks and feels, but I asked around and everyone else seems to prefer Batang as the typeface is wider and more immediately legible. Well, we’ll see.
