Thrall (Adjatha)

Another weird week for me. I cranked a lot of hours out over the last couple of weekends to slam time into improving the state of mobile device input, testing shit on actual devices – which is timeconsuming as fuck when it goes smoothly, and an outright pain in the ass when things aren’t going according to plan. I’ve been paying for it this week though. Started off slow, and then by the time I got up to speed and ready to get my fingers into a handful of the outstanding issues we still had with the control overlay… Jacques had already beat me to it, so I’ve just resigned myself to dealing with back-of-house shit and talking through bugs when people were asking me stuff.

Leek has been in da mines and chopping through more Phaedra stand-up content though, and Fen has started working through the first blob of stuff to properly flesh Phaedra out, starting with a bunch of effort to ship mechanics, fixing a few oversights and expanding the rudimentary stuff we had in a few places, getting it ready for more elaborate things to come.
