custom pet update

I ended up with some horrid flu, that took a few days of my time to get through. I guess its the season for it :P
Anyhow, custom breeds is coming along. so far whats been done:
1. all of the hardcoded breed characteristics in the script have been placed into the database.
2. the code has been cleaned up substantially, to make for something easier to read and modify.
what now needs to be done:
1. the custom tool is essentially a 'wizard'. that is, you choose a few items at a time to build your dog.
so I'm in the process of designing a flexible wizard that will allow us to add NEW custom breeds with ease.
a rudimentary wizard has been implemented and works, but for testing , and formatting.
2. I will need to clean up the dog rendering engine as well to better work with the new tool (this part will be less work I suspect, b/c it can just take the output of the custom tool)
3. start contacting artists to come on back and help design some more breeds / features for our puppies!
ETA:
probably just a couple days more. I was mostly done with this before I got the nightmare bug.

Sounds good! Keeping my fingers crossed everything goes as planned and the bugs stay at bay. :D

very soon. I'm just about finished untangling the wizard portion. its a hot hairy mess, soon it will just be a hot mess.
afterwards, I can reconstruct the image generator into something readable.
then I can set this particular ship to sail, and tandom software development can be run while new dog breeds are being prepared.
ETA 1-3 days. hopefully before the weekend.
