More NitS Progress
Sunday, January 6th, 2008Not so much of a big bang of progress over the last few days but anoter 1000 words or so have tied together some fragments of plot.

NitS: Another 1K+ Words Bite the Dust
Thursday, January 3rd, 2008Yeh! another thousand words of Night in the Sidhe bit the dust yesterday as I found a way from the bit of dialogue to the climactic fight sequence.

Tonight I have mostly been playing with…

Nothing to show yet because I’m getting to grips with it although the impworks web site is now entirely php5 driven.
