shadow of the code (Patreon)

A gentle 1.5 today. Not sure I went for the full two hours-- my timer was paused accidentally-- but I finished the segment I was on, so whatever.
This was sort of a bridging piece for the main quest, and I'm so not emotionally prepared to start writing the three parts this is about to branch out into. But, I'll get myself ready by tomorrow.

In the near future, I'll also probably have to resume some work on the engine. Testing-- and even editing-- in the writing program is not as effective as we might hope. Which means there shall be more programming to be done.
But, that'll be helpful for writing too, since right now I'm just kind of 'writing around' conditions and variables instead of handling them properly.

I plan to keep the two hour writing goal separate from code-- just writing. It's been a few weeks of this now, hasn't it? It feels okay to me. Comfortable, even? Yeah, let's go with that.

c: a decent amount of the engine work is for my sake. the inky editor is just... a bit bland about how it shows the text. that, combined with ame's writing, which tends to run on the thick side, has made new editing hard. so we're going to work on that.
