Michelle delivered the cleaned-up double hi-res title screen to Brian today. I plugged it in and redid the opening credits to match. It looks pretty darn good. I’d like to make the stars twinkle, but that’ll have to wait.
Met with Lance early this morning and got him started on the background graphics. By five o’clock he was already pretty far along. He’s jazzed. I’m jazzed. This is going to be a great conversion.
Alan Weiss dropped by to talk about Nintendo Game Boy Karateka.
Strange incident with Lee McDougall. He showed up with his assistant around five and started emptying out Loring’s and Eric’s desks. What the ?!? Robert and Brian and I were in the back room and didn’t know what to do. Finally I called Tom Marcus, since he’s Lee’s boss. Of course Tom didn’t know anything about it. I put him on the phone with Lee. So the homestead was saved from the cattle barons yet again… for the moment.
I’m feeling quite optimistic. All I have to do is work like a demon for the next six days and not get sick, and by the time I leave for Idaho, the game should be pretty close to finished.
Sleep. Got to get some sleep.
