I have, however, pared down the bug list -- near as I can see right now, there are only 19 tickets remaining open before I can declare the game code 'finished' and start on polish. I have 196 total tickets, which should probably tell you a lot about how much I like to make tickets. Mmmm, tickets.
Once I blow through these 19 tickets (which should be pretty quick, except some of them are large asspains, like "Implement AI"), it will be an actual game. Horrors!
