I got almost nothing done yesterday as I spent most of the time taking care of two kids as well as my sick wife. Now she's feeling a bit better and I'm feeling a bit worse. Such timing.

I made a loose brick for the sewers yesterday. It's of the pushable variety that opens secret doors and the like. My four-year-old son was giving me ideas for the game, and this was one of the requirements. Some of his ideas were really good and a few were plain silly (such as having the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the sewers). I might just have to list him in the credits.

I did a little scripting and testing this morning. A major scene transition failed and I have to figure out why. I also put in some henchmen comment code so they'll make one-liners as you walk through an area. In theory, they'll whisper it if in stealth mode, but I've got to test that out some more.

It should be easy as you can simply say "stealth" and they'll jump into stealth mode. There's a lot of henchmen commands like that, such as "attack the cleric" or "cast cure light wounds on me". Hopefully it'll make the henchmen feel more alive and part of the team.
