• Testing lighting effects, optimizing lighting to look good with the tile-based system.
  
• Creating rubble and impact effects, destroying objects.
  
• Creating muzzle flash and lighting effects for turrets and weapons.
  
• Thinking about how fire could be implemented.
  

• Creating destructible walls on buildings.
  
• Created explosion on impact when particle hits.
  
• Created smoke effect using an old-school trick to optimize performance.
  
• Fixed bugs in our game editor.
  

• Creating fire.
  
• A bit more time spent on the smoke effect.
  
• Our intern is drawing some characters, don't know what kind we need yet as the game idea is till very open.
  
• Focusing on creating the tech and game engine, drawing inspiration from features we stumble upon in the process.
  

• Adding a oxygen feature. Fire will take out the oxygen and when it ends the fire will end.
  
• Creating a soldier and Engineer class character.
  

• Still thinking about the overall game idea.
  
• Found some new information about existing games. Trying to come up with a way to stand out.
  
• Hoping the upcoming 2 weeks vacation starting 20th of June will give some clarity. First vacation in 4 years.
  
• If we fail badly with this game we will be in a lot of trouble again.
  
• Realizing that such is the game industry and being a game developer.
  
• Will continue work again beginning of July.
  

• Discussing some more about the game.
  
• Is it on an alien planet, a space station somewhere in space?
  
• Thinking prototyping a small base and some battle could be a good idea! Perhaps this will lead us onto something new and interesting.
