You may all be quite pleased to know that I’ve been working quite a bit more on TGTTPOACS this past week than I have all these past eight months. As I predicted, the fact that I now spend my non-free time going to lectures and studying instead of working in front of a computer makes me feel more inclined to spent my free time working in front of a computer. Booyah.

It’s funny, but I’d almost forgotten how great a feeling it is to make your own game. It’s like playing a game, being immersed in its world and all, except you get to invent everything in it. Kind of like lucid dreaming, I suppose, but then again, I haven’t really had all that many lucid dreams.

The funnest part these days is writing the dialogue. Putting myself in the shoes of these weird characters I’ve created, and figuring out exactly what it is they’d say in a given situation. I sure hope I’m doing a good job of it, though. There is way too much cliched dialogue in games these days, after all. And some people just don’t get my sense of humour. *sigh*

Oh, and I’ve just applied for this. It would be really cool to get this scholarship, but then again, they’re only accepting ten people, and I have no idea what my odds are. Ah well, it’s worth a shot, I say.
