Lots of work yesterday and today

Lots of work yesterday and today. I did a bunch of playtesting of the Summer Palace assault and I think it's working basically the way I want. I did have a little excitement when I caught one of the elves in the blast radius of a spell, turning them all against me. A little scripting later and it seems to be taken care of.

I have more work to do on the Temple area, though I like what I've done so far. Nothing super fancy, but some interesting surprises. I have a couple areas that I need to flesh out some more, as I'm not quite sure what to put there. I try to give myself room for creative ideas later, but when they don't come right away, I tend to scratch my head a bit.

I also tested some of the transitions out, making sure you could get from area A to area B. These weren't normal transitions, but rather dialog off of a placeable, through a cutscene, then off to a particular position. After some tweaking, it seems to work okay.

No baby yet, though the time is approaching. Sam's been swept away for the weekend by the grandparents, so I may actually get quite a bit of time to code today.
