I'm still feeling a little bit of a funk, like there are some feelings of loneliness and/or like unexcitement, I almost wonder if it's a little bit of depression again??  I'm sure the cure is probably more white tea haha, but tomorrow is not really a tea day actually, tomorrow I'll be heading to a journaling meeting in japantown, not sure exactly how it will go but I will bring my letter-writing supplies and see!

I did some okay work today.  Am I making progress toward the next demo update for Rhythm Quest?  Yes and no, haha.  Because I did a major update to how the backdrops and level graphics are loaded, the tutorial is totally broken, but while I was thinking about how to fix up the tutorial, I started thinking about how I wanted to restructure the tutorial anyways, so I ended up diving into that instead.

It's fine though, it's not like there is a particular rush to update the demo with all this new stuff.  It's just a demo, after all.  And it's actually a really good thing that I'm getting to this tutorial update, that's something that's vitally important to test out but something that I've also been putting off thinking about because I had not been sure exactly how to make it work.

Turns out, probably easier than I thought given that one of my goals for the tutorial is to make it more fast-paced and streamline it.  So it's not like I'm adding a bunch of steps or anything, just changing the flow a little bit.  It's getting there, through an iterative process...there are still a bunch of rough edges, but already I feel like it solves some of the problems I had with the existing flow, which is good.
