Day 12
Another day goes by with not much work being able to be done. When I finally sit down to work I find that GMS does not want to open my project. I try several times only to be frustrated again and again. The project acts as if it's loading but then it just stays in the main home screen. I ended up creating a new project and simply importing all the assets and files from the project that wouldn't open. So, crisis averted!
I've begun writing in the dialogue but that's as much as I could do today. Tomorrow I hope to sink quite a few hours in and get this game moving along after generally two days of inactivity.
