Thief Update (and this one’s massive)

For today’s long overdue Thief update, all chapters and side-missions, as well as the prologue, are complete and pictures organized on their pages. I’m still filling in many of the details, like names and values, but they’re perfectly usable as they are. The City is the only major chunk left to do (and maybe the Bank?), and Basso’s jobs will be detailed there instead of separately.

Between the many, many, many IRL distractions thrown my way, the following is what most of my free time spent has looked like: 20160508151523_1

And it still took me forever and a half. Maybe I should start locking my door.

On another (somewhat) unrelated note, dog-sitting other people’s fur babies is great way to gain a deeper appreciation for your own dogs’ good behavior. Dog-sitting for two somewhat particular dog moms/dads in a row will have you singing your pets’ praises as you collapse onto the nearest couch; “Oh, thank God you are so easy I love you come here my little fluffbutts.”

(6/2/16) UPDATE: All chapters labelled and totaled up, side missions totaled up but unlabeled, The Bank Heist explored and now to be photoed, and The City between Chapters 1 and 2 has been photoed and should be up in the next few days.

This week has involved way too much mental math–which is not my forte–because I was too stubborn to take the time to write everything down. I think I spent as much time correcting my miscalculations as I would have taken to write up notes. Well, I saved a few sheets of paper and got plenty of math practice, so I think it has all worked out in the end! Once you get past the annoyance of correcting a mistake for the third time, it was kind of a nice brain stretch, heh.

Back in the Saddle… Somewhat…

Just for the record, I am not dead. Illness, travel, and general hullabaloo turned “hiatus” into “condemned to the back-burner” for much longer than I anticipated. Have I mentioned that this is my first time running a website? But I am back and progress will now resume! (Knock on wood.)

Currently, my tiny little corner of the internet is attracting no traffic at all, mostly because I’m a total amateur at this. Most likely, no one is going to read this after I post it but post I shall, because each one is a figurative handshake greeting someone new. I’ll continue improving my site and fixing my mistakes, and eventually someone will reciprocate!
