This morning I&#8217;ve hit another little milestone for <em>Thrilling Tales of the Downright Unusual<\/em> &#8211; I finished an illustration that completely wraps up one of the two interactive branches of the story&#8217;s first half. The other branch is quite far along too, but it &#8211; and the remaining illustrations for the latter half of the story &#8211; needs one more complex environment, a simpler environment, and some work on two characters. Still, it&#8217;s really nice to see such big chunks of the tale coming together.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">I&#8217;m really happy with this latest batch of pictures. That only reinforces the idea, though, that I&#8217;ll need to go back and rework a few of the ones I did earlier! But although there&#8217;s no light at the end of the tunnel I at least figure that I&#8217;ve got a lot of <em>dark<\/em> tunnel behind me now.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Once the illustrations are done I&#8217;ll need to go back to the web site itself to incorporate a few changes in the way the stories are presented and add a couple of features that were just waiting for real live content. In fact I&#8217;m also removing a feature &#8211; or modifying it, anyway &#8211; which it turns out I haven&#8217;t had a use for.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">It looks as though I&#8217;ll soon have to set <em>Thrilling Tales<\/em> aside for a bit to get to work on a freelance job, but I&#8217;m not too worried. Part one of <em>The Toaster With TWO BRAINS <\/em>should still be ready some time in the first quarter of next year. In its web version, anyhow.
