John Law stuck it to me:
Today... has not been my day, and it is only 10:36AM =)
So I woke up late for starters (too much late night coding), I got ready then jumped into my car. I leave the driveway of my apartment and head down the hill to Route9. Just like any other day, listening to the radio, ya…

So, I finally got my save/load fature to work =D
Thankfully, this is the LAST big feature that needed to be implemented into Morning's Wrath!!!!
I was worried too, since I had never implemented such a large-scale save/load system, and I feared that I had designed myself into a corner =/
But I was able…

So the last three days have been...interesting.
In my pursuit to get a save-game mechanisim working, I found that somthing I fixed a while ago (which was to actually making saving games easier) didn't quite work well.
The Scripting Engine:

Finally getting somewhere,
been doing research on how best to implement expressive motions into our primary characters.
The basic idea is to use an 'emotion' sheet, this sheet, contains 8 'emotions' each one frame long, and each with it's proper direction.
"one frame!?" I hear you say, well, we could …

Here is a revision of Morning's 'peace mode' model,
only big change is the hair, which is used on her armor model, I think it works better to keep a uniform hair style, since it helps to build character image better *shrug* =)
