Its officially summer vacation, and I've done a lot of work on NSD and Vixuzar Sim Date these past few weeks. Special thanks to the folks who pitched in with extra image info, dialog and otherwise been a great help with these projects. You know who you are.

So far, I've started adding NPC data and events to NSD - basic encounters, conversation routines and I've also recently figured out how to use arrays AAAAAAND I completely reworked some buggy item lottery stuff that would end up raping your inventory with massive textblocks that were all like NaN. This means I've also reworked the day counters and made them a whole lot more simpler for the CPU to handle.

This is my fourth reworking of one of the core NSD engines. Damn - 2007 to 2016, it's been one hell of a ride, eh?

Speaking of Sim Date - Vixuzar Sim Date is proving to be a real learning experience. I've managed to optimize a lot of coding, making it run more streamlined and smoothly. Now, I'm currently assembling the game world where the action takes place in. While not as outright massive as NSD - Vixuzar Sim Date incorporates some of the latest technology we have available, and it's gonna be one hell of a game. Our next stop is ITEMS! What shall we put in the game?!

Half the year is gone, huh? I'd better get my act together and stop all these DELAYS and PROBLEMS.

Speaking of delays, I've noticed that the wiring around my home seems to be on its last legs. Fluctuating brownouts, surges and twitchy lights point at a rapidly decaying infrastructure at home - this isn't good news for the rest of my electronics. So I'll be busy for the next few days or so, giving the ol' home a much-needed workover on the electrical wiring front. Once I'm done, I can officially add seven... SEVEN MORE HOURS of GLORIOUS FREETIME to my daily routine!

That's that for now. But I'll be back soon. 

Until then, have some summer vacation imagery!
