This heat wave has been pretty crazy. I wonder if it is at all related to my strange sleeping lately: Not able to sleep for longer than about 5-6 hours but then exhausted every evening (more than usual). It might just be mental state, or something, though. Of course, the angle of the sun coming in during the late afternoons is also pretty intense so that probably doesn't help.

Finished reading Three Body Problem. It was pretty good and most reviews say that the first book is the worst of the 3 so I should probably buy the next one (it is in stock around the corner). Watching clips from the Netflix adaptation makes it seem quite different. The characters are mostly different and, so I am told, the story is told in a very different order. Strange that they would change so much. I heard the previous Chinese TV adaptation is quite faithful, though.

The work on OctoberProject is moving slowly but is starting to bear fruit. I can finally play-test with the new movement system and it actually seems pretty good. My fears about sub-action delay don't seem to be a problem (things like jumping and block placement feel right), although I do wonder if I will need to do something related to lighting-based operations.

Other than that, I need to figure out some more things to do this summer. I figure I should go to the beach or out to the islands, at some point. I haven't actually been in water in years so it would be a nice way to cool off and do something different.

Back to working out these play-test issues before adapting the creatures to use this new system,
