Feeling better today.

I spent a couple hours working on a key climactic battle in the game. There should be some oohs and aahs at the cool slow-motion effects. The end and beginning continue to be polished up, though the middle part is still largely unfinished.

I created a bunch of custom content today - polishing up a custom creature, creating a "prop" placeable, and a magic spell effect that should be recognized by many. Amazingly, the hak pack size is still under 10 MB in size. I'm avoiding the use of any new textures, which can easily balloon the size of a hak pack.

I also mapped out a couple in-town areas, creating a couple NPCs and writing dialog for them. I've got a couple side-quests that I'm working on, though I haven't completely decided on how I want them resolved. Dreamcatcher 2 doesn't have much of an evil path, so I'd like to include more options for evil gameplay.

Dreamcatcher 2 was uploaded today, so it should appear on the vault by tomorrow. I'll probably need to put development of Dreamcatcher 3 on hold afterwards, as the bug reports usually keep me pretty busy.
