Design Changes 10/24

I will always be tweaking this blog to perfection. This change is entirely graphical. I added bezels, changed the title font, made the title explanation line white and bigger, made side text blue/green, and most importantly, made the title text imperceptibly smaller. Thank me later.

- And I edited the date text again.

The Spire Teaser

This is a story that I've been working on. It's not even really started yet, but... I hadn't posted in over a month. This is technically something of a vast rewrite of a previous prototype, which I could also post If anyone is curious to see it. Progress on Bargainworld Deluxe is moving along, but is getting more and more confusing, in terms of mood and theme. I used this as a break to do something more straightforward. I think If I really put a lot of effort into the spire, I'll make it a short novel. I don't think it can really last that long with the rather simplistic goal without a ton of filler. Anyway, the story:

Jas felt the dirt. It ran through his fingers. It was fine and powdery. Deeper, it had become more compacted over time.In another box he had some rocks he had found. He wondered how he had even found them, here. Had someone left them behind? Were they once part of some museum, or were they fresh from the surface. It was impossible to really tell. He had always been drawn to the earth. It’s texture and smell were far different than anything in the spire. Jas had the lingering suspicion that some other floor- only accessible by high ranked officials no doubt- was full of dirt and rocks. Maybe they even had green on them. He would fantasize about going up those large transparent elevators. But they were always locked. “Stay on your level” They would say. This just made him more curious.
The man in the same room finally broke the silence.
