I put in huge amounts of work yesterday, creating a bunch of placeables and two new tiles, not to mention some scripting and creature tweaking. My favorite tileset addition is this counter with a floating brain in a jar. It slowly moves up and down over time, looking creepy. I think I like it so much that I might make it an NPC.

I've been trying to take the Stem tileset and make it a general purpose tileset. I have the arena and a couple shop counters (one with the floating brain). I may do one with tables so that I can put things on them.

I also tweaked the spirit gem code so that upon death you go into your spirit gem. If you're holding it when you die, you drop it on the floor. If your henchman is holding it and you die, you'll exit the gem wherever the henchman is. If your henchman is holding it and they die, they'll go inside the spirit gem and drop it. All very confusing, but hopefully it eliminates most issues with dying in combat (mostly getting stuck in your gem while holding your gem).

As for today, I'm hoping to get a chance to script some nifty items. We'll see how much time I get.
