Periodically, I go a little crazy

Periodically, I go a little crazy. I ran across an antique blank map which was covered by the Creative Commons license. I ended up downloading the whole thing, chopping it up into 42 512x512 pieces, writing a script to generate 42 tilesets, and getting it into the game. After a dozen or so game crashes, I finally got it working.

It looks beautiful, though I don't have any islands or such to throw on the map. That'll be the next step, making placeable things to decorate the place.

I worked more on the Proctor sound files. Some of them are hysterically funny. To give you the scope of the thing, one dialog in the game ends up having nearly 50 voice clips, each one which has to be cropped and cleaned and named properly. I think it'll be worth it in the end.
