The new and greatly improved Font Fiend UI is up and running. I'm exhausted and need to take a day or two off so I can come back with fresh eyes and perspective. I think it's pretty close to ready to show the folks at indiegamer.com again but I might hang on to it for a few days while using it to work on my new financial simulator and see if I can shake a few more bugs out of the beast. The new UI is much cleaner and more efficient - being able to drag color and alpha channels around and see the updates in real time is sweet.
I've spent part of my surfing time this week looking at models for the new game. It's a business game set in a city and I want to have an impressive looking cityscape for my virtual game board. I'm leaning towards bright and shiny instead of the soft colors we had for the casual market targeted Real E$tate Empire. Speaking of REE, it will be available on Reflexive on the 18th of this month, I'm really looking forward to seeing how it will do on a network that sees quite a bit more traffic than the Rusty Axe website.
Very cold here tonight - probably -20 or below with the wind chill, not many walks are being taken these days!
