We're almost back to where we were in the first iteration of the game. The editor is now solid enough to start drawing maps! This means that it was time to start making tiles to use it - I decided to go with house tiles that I will be able to reuse easily. The resulting houses aren't as pretty as they would be if I drew them pixel by pixel but it's a small price to pay for the ability to make a bunch of houses on the fly.
Having the week off has really helped me get back into the project. A few weeks ago I bought myself a sketch book and I drew the outlines of the maps that would be used for the first scenario of the game. So far it gives me a good TODO list for what needs to be done.
It's so much easier to work on the 16x16 scale.
