Though it's hard to tell in this screenshot, this model is actually animated. Smoke puffs out nicely and little parts move up and down. It's one of the things I needed for the Plane of Fire and I whipped it up this morning as it felt strange to have my NPC refer to something that wasn't there.

Although I did test more of the Plane of Fire quests yesterday, most of my time was spent working on a particular "haunting". Though there were some visual effects associated with the infestation of spirits, most of it is sound related. Very creepy. I'm finding that huge parts of the game have nothing to do with the main plot, and this is another example of this. Still, it should make the town and it's connected planes a much more interesting place to visit.

No jury duty either. While dispensing harsh justice to the n'ere-do-wells of our community sounded like fun, I'm happy I didn't get called up. The way our town works, that's it for two more years. I hope to finish working in dialog I have on paper, though I managed to get about half of it in yesterday. Progress slowly chugs along.
