Gosh, real life has just been so busy this week. Feels like I'm rushing to finish everything on my daily to-do list. Still, at least I got SOME work on this game done today.
I redid the "NPC blocks the way" trick, but now not only does he clear the way after the dungeon is cleared but he also serves as the third boss fight. He's Akeldama's grandad and somehow the only sane character. Originally, he was going to be a dirty old man. But once I started writing him, he turned out much more respectable. Also laid out the first level of the dungeon, and added an artifact that is - of all things - a Muppet Classic Theater reference. I'm just a clueless as you are.
Tomorrow, I finish off the dungeon and test the boss fight. Then, another map. Don't know what will be on it yet. I gotta figure out how to drag out Amar's story for another three dungeons.
