I've been having some difficulties lately. I was busy with my regular job and the holidays, so I had little time to spend on Impressions. When I tried to update the blog, I found that blogger was temporarily inaccessible. Today, I finally sat down to get some more work done on the game and I realized something. Every time I try to do some more writing, I don't add anything new. I just re-read what I have already and clean up or rearrange some parts. I guess the writing is pretty much done. At this point, I'm just shuffling passages around to try to make it flow better and tweaking some examples. I think I might just be making things worse at this point by continuing to fiddle with the text. It's time to stop padding and start editing and organizing everything.
I'd really like to start doing the layout for the PDF, but I don't have any art yet. I'm not sure if I should start doing the layout and just leave gaps where I can insert the art later or if I should focus on getting some art somehow. My budget for the whole project is zero, so I can't just buy or commission some art. I'm not very good at drawing, but I might have to take matters into my own hands on this one. I'm considering making a rough, bare bones, "zeroth edition" with some really basic (bad and made by me) art just to see how everything fits together on the page.
