Well, took my sweet time didn't I? Here we are though finally.
The End of the World Ch. 5 Barnacle Burgers
This chapter was really hard to shoot pictures for since I wanted a diner full of people in the background, getting them all in place and forcing them to stay took a lot of time, which meant having to revert to a previous save four times just to get the daylight back, which in turn meant having to get the people back at the tables again since the game popped them out of their seats every damned reload!
But it was worth it, I think the diner really does look busy and the people like they're going about their daily lives, which is what you want from extras. The diner did take a while to build too, I'm pretty happy with it, a very stereotypical diner, just like you'd expect in a small town like Barnacle Bay.

Profiles
Wow, long time no write, as per usual!
I started a profiles page for the characters in The End of the World. There's only two characters up so far, but I'll do more as the story continues, which it will, despite the long lapse in updates!! I've been really busy on the one hand and had a really annoying writer's block on the other, but the next chapter will be up very soon now. I don't dare give a day, but this week, damn it!
I like the profile pictures, they look kind of semi professional, I wanted something with a variety of expressions, something that spoke to their personalities and I think it turned out at least half way decent.
Still, I don't know if I'm satisfied with how I'm handling the info, I wasn't sure whether to write a bio or just write the information out in a list like age: interests: etc. so maybe it'll change eventually.

Story Update: The End of the World Ch.3 A Night Adrift
OK, it's not technically Sunday anymore where I live, but I'm pretty sure it's Sunday somewhere in the world and that's good enough for me.
Finally, after a very long, quite unplanned hiatus, we finally get to see where Darcy's got off to.

Re-Shoot
I only just got TS3 re-installed and have been getting a lot of new content what with Generations coming out and also a lot of cool cc and I realised, while getting back into the game, that I needed to re-do some stuff for The End of the World.
When I created the characters of Darcy and Daniel I had a slightly different idea of why they had moved and it was more about money issues, a completely different story from what grew out of my writing, and I realised that the pictures would tell a different story from the one I wanted.
So Darcy got a slightly altered look, hopefully a little more urban and they got a better car. Also, in addition to making Gull's Nest a tad bigger, I changed and added some stuff around the garden. So I'm in the process of re-shooting and shooting pictures for ch.3 at the same time, but it'll soon be done, finger's crossed.

Story Update: The End of the World Ch.2 Too Much
Well, there's more involved in getting these things put together than you might imagine before starting out, I am really enjoying the process so far, but I have to fight not to get too drawn into building and redecorating.
I've been re-touching Barnacle Bay and slowly re-styling the inhabitants to suit the story and more my taste. I want it to blend nicely and feel slightly less prestine and cheerful.
What I learned while writing this chapter is that I rely a lot on what happens in my game to tell the story, not that I actually play Darcy's family, but as I leave free will on while forcing them to interact with the world around them they sometimes surprise me and end up taking the story in completely new directions.

Story Update: The End of the World Ch.1 Gull's Nest
I'm currently working on various new ideas for my story, which means I'm creating Sims and building/rebuilding parts of Barnacle Bay to better suit my taste and the story. I'm also trying to write out some profiles and figuring out what else I need to do about the story blog. So recently I haven't had time to write the actual story, isn't that a little ironic?
Ah well, thankfully there are no readers yet, which means I'm kinda talking to myself at the moment... doesn't that feel just a little awkward... Anyway, for any eventual future readers, first chapter of The End of the World, Gull's Nest is now up.
