slower development

couple of things...

I have a day job, which requires that I be on-call occasionally.  My job is also extra busy at the moment.

I have health issues... the biggest of which is hopefully soon to be handled via surgery.

I am getting a little burnt on this project.  scope creep has spoiled it for me, for now.

Now, enough of my whining... where is the update?!

there isn't one.  I have had almost no time to work on things this past couple of weeks.  I don't want to abandon the project entirely... it's not *even* that.

I have been jotting notes down as ideas come to me, so I have things to do.  I want to revert the art style, go back to geometric primitives, and develop that aesthetic further.  I want to improve multiplayer, add split screen, and maybe network play/servers.  I want to improve singleplayer, add new enemies, improve the AI of the enemies we have, etc.  the point is, I have ideas, but haven't had time.

I might spend some of today (assuming my on-call pager stays quiet) working on a new level tileset, the goal is to go simple... simple areas of color to denote wall, floor, water, lava, whatever.

Anyway, if anyone follows this game, or reads this... I have not given up!  I'm just slowed by things outside of my control.
