After spending some time in Koh Samui we got a boat to Koh Phangan to visit some friends. Except we got the wrong boat. After arriving at Surat Thani, we got on another boat to Koh Phangan, making extra sure it was the right one this time.
Warning from the Refugees
The Londoners have been defeated, but it is getting colder. More refugees are coming to the city. We need to make sure we can house them. And we will need more coal to heat their homes. And more food. And more of all the things we don’t have.
Butterflies, Moths and Bugs
This week I spent some time fixing a few bugs I’ve been noticing while testing the mod. Now our butterflies look better, animate better, and spawn better. These things may seem minor in comparison to adding cool new features, but as I’ve said before: details matter.
The Boys are Back in Town
Season 4 of The Boys is over. Despite some turbulence in the latter half, the series still managed to stick the landing. It’s a gory, swear-word filled ride to an ending that will leave you praying for the final series to come out a lot sooner.
Search for the Black Pearl
The Troupe was ready to leave Restenford when Gelpas accused them of stealing from the warehouses. Though they quickly cleared their name, they agreed to remain behind and help find the real thief.
The Other Na Mueng Waterfall
We wanted to go for a hike while we were on Koh Samui, and we wanted to see a waterfall. So we set off to Na Mueng to see it. Only it wasn’t the right Na Mueng.
The Battle of the Londoners
The Londoner movement is gaining too much traction. We are struggling to maintain our supply of coal and it’s getting even harder to maintain hope for our future. If I can just keep the people warm, I can maintain order and get us through this everlasting winter.
Moths, Silk, and Startling
This week I add silk to the butterfly mod and finally add my first moth. This moth has its own unique behaviour, something I will start adding to several other butterflies. Along the way I fixed a bug or two, and discovered a couple more that need to be fixed.
Chang: A Drama of the Wilderness
Before they directed King Kong, Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack would create Chang, a “documentary” about the Laos people in Siam. It tells a story of man’s fight against the jungle, and how they were able to tame the elephant herd.
Return to Restenford (Again)
The Troupe has explored the island around Restenford and come across many troubles. Bandits to the north, ogre mages leading gnolls, hobgoblins led by a wraith. They’ve fought a lot, become stronger, and defeated these evils. Now it is time to return to Pelltar and return to the Sword Coast.
