I fixed my shadow mapping issue that I was working on last week, so there should be a patch like normal this week and shadows should look better and be faster.

Nice!

Small suggestion: change the video trailer of the game on Steam to greatly reduce the volume from the gameplay itself. Use mostly music for the soundtrack.

Why? Well, aside from it sounding more professional that way, currently, the video plays right away, causing the loud electrical noises from the lightning strikes in the first scene of the video to blast in one's ears. It's a surefire way to drive away customers browsing through Steam games.

The price of Din's Legacy is going to increase for the last time on Thursday.

My todo list for Din's Legacy is down to about 350 lines. That's still a lot, but a month ago it was at 600 or so.

Yesterday Microsoft announced a huge investment in an OpenAI neural net and my first thought was Microsoft funding Skynet was somehow fitting.

Sometimes I forget about cool features I've added to our games. I just had an NPC come over to help with an invading monster. He cast an earthquake skill that destroyed the house we were in (it did kill the monster).

I'm doing a little optimization today on Din's Legacy. So far I have sped up my test scene by 21%. Some of the changes will also speed up Zombasite.

My optimization investigation tells me if I would just not draw anything, they game would go a lot quicker.
