WIP of the dialogue interface for #CityOfGlass on #ScreenshotSaturday . The rest of the UI is still Popochiu defaults.

Just migrated #CityOfGlass from Github to Codeberg while in the process of setting up my new laptop. This includes design docs, image source files, and the Ink and Godot projects.

Finally doing my monthly review for July and barely got anything done on #CityOfGlass except a 3D mockup of the city levels. But that's something I've been struggling with for a while, and level design is important, so yay.

Screenshot from the point-and-click adventure game I'm developing as a solo dev with Popochiu and Ink. All assets mine, nothing final.

Hillside
from City Of Glass by AJ Lee & Blue Summit

https://ajleebluesummit.bandcamp.com/track/hillside

Evidently AJ Lee and Blue Summit has been around for a few years but the band is a new signing to the Signature Sounds label. Signature Sounds, for me, has had its best success, in recent times, with veteran acts. Examples include Eilen Jewell, Brennen Leigh, and Chris Smither. So, the fresh faced Blue Summit may mark a nod or even a return to the early days of Signature Sounds.

"Hillside," the teaser track available now at Bandcamp, is really encouraging. After the knowing and very pretty soloing on the verses, the density of the harmony on the chorus took me by surprise. I definitely like it. The song ends a little soon; but then again, we don't have the show biz expression, "Leave 'em wanting more," for no reason.

Five Stars for the great promise this group shows.
