On today's episode of "Love and Refactoring", the mecha editor has been updated to work with the new interface. But hoo boy it's gonna need some extra care to work with the new interface *well*.
The mecha editor was made before the UI stack, and so it manually activates and deactivates widgets by itself. All of that old code should be converted to new style code. It probably works, but it's also probably way more fragile than I'd like, so it's best to bite the bullet and get it done now.

I finally got around to mounting the trophies from my last visit to Canada.

I have gotten Blender to render a GearHead mecha with the pure color channels required for the color switcher + no bleed between colored regions. I feel mighty... and more than a bit tired. #Gamedev #Blender3d

Today's refactoring saga: All the monologues in the game have been converted to the new system. I have come to the conclusion that most of GearHead Caramel's narrative content should be presented through the alert queue. Which makes sense, since the entire point of the queue is to stage info to be delivered to the player in sequence.
