Tuesday, February 13th, 2018 —> -16˚C / +2˚F — Dark, cold and Mostly Cloudy @10:40 pm in Atlantic Canada —

— Jassper spent most of yesterday fretting about his minor surgery today, { “Friday the thirteenth is a Tuesday this month.”  — “But it’s bad luck to be superstitious -” 😉 “Yeah yeah, I know – but -” }

— His post should be visible here below this :

– “Stitching Two Game World Areas Together” –

— I wasn’t at my best yesterday – arthritis aches and all that. I logged in to our Game Building site and messed around with building another area – then stitched it together with ‘Stone Lake’. I was pretty happy with the way the new area looked – and was adding a few cosmetic improvements when with one click, I somehow deleted the southern half of that new area. So I bit the bullet, un-joined the two areas and built a new version of the new area – left it all dark and with some ‘geological’ problems I’d have to fix later.

— The above Screen shot ( or maybe it’s over on the left? ) shows part of the process of blending the two areas together, using a terrain tool to match up the borders. The white mesh stuff around what looks like a cave is how it looked about three quarters of the way through blending the borders – [ I later trimmed down that mountain in the all dark brown there because that area is not supposed to be higher than “Stone Lake” ] & after something like 10 hours I had the two areas ‘seamlessly’ joined and knew I had a couple days’ work ahead of me to get this right – but I’ll be recuperating from minor surgery, so I’ll have the time – I believe…

– This is supposed to be Jessicka from Jim’s latest novel –

— I don’t know how well this will load in the ComicPress Blog. The yellow is ‘pre-dawn fog’ in the Stone Lake area after a lot of work changing the path in from the new area (version 2.0) She does have reddish hair, is dressed rather modestly, I think she looks like somebody from my ‘sordid youth’, just can’t quite remember who – After the screen shot left her pretty much completely in shadow,, I had to mess with the exposure to get this, and what it looks like here is what I saw on my working computer screen. [ She’s got a ‘Ranger’s Pouch’ on her left hip there – probably  has some healing herbs or something like that in there. ]

— So that’s today’s progress report from Atlantic Canada –

— “Boof!” —

— I think he did a darned good job – And today, he says he has survived losing to a toenail to a ‘minor surgical proceedure’ – but I think he’s probably mourning the loss of that toenail, and looking forward to several days taking a combination of Ibuprophen and Tylenol – that’s what the doctor told him to do for any pain he might experience.

— He also told me he went back in to our game world and resurrected the area that half deleted itself yesterday when he tried to get rid of a ‘billboard’.

— & I’m thinkin his builder character looks like a combination of one friend’s sister and a young woman I had a monster crush on in junior high school – But with redder hair 🙂 —

— Thank you, Jassper,
