Digitized the running skidding turn-around that was so amusing on videotape. It looks OK. I’ll need to redo the straight running, but I think everything else will work as it stands.
About half the animations are in now. Next step will be getting the character to interact with the environment (climbing a rope ladder, pulling a lever, etc.)
At this juncture I think I’ll redirect my attention to the game design.

Hi Jordan,
I really like your blog. Old journal is truly fantastic. Keep it coming. I like Prince of Perisa 2 even more than the first one. Would love to hear more about the sequel from you.
cheers,

This is amazing, your games are a true inspiration for me.
Specially Prince of Persia 2.
