Ya boi who was just very vocal about how making progress is more important that getting caught up in the details spent the last week playing around with the notion that maybe my rural bee farmers might develop comb-shaped agriculture patterns.
Okay mostly I was busy with finals, but I digress. It still needs a custom tileset, but damn I like the aesthetic right of main waaaaaay better. More detail to pack in, unfortunately, but I think the cost-benefit ratio works out in my favor.
After this week I've got almost 18 days without any classes at all, and by the time that's over I hope to have this town fully laid out, the opening cutscene more-or-less managed, and a playable demo so interested parties can explore the town and see what the locals get on about.
