Despite how long it has been since I made an update, the trough is not quite full yet, because I had a handful of new subjects that required a bit of complicated testing. Namely, that I wanted to have Ada be able to ask the location of a few important rooms for the optional puzzle, and added a stub description for the door to Taffany’s room. It’s not really that these took me that long, just that I was also pulled away to do some housework I wanted to get done and other self-care stuff like going to the bathroom…

Speaking of self-care stuff, I’m going to take another break to make dinner and then actually get on the 36 added responses I want to scaffold, some of which are just default responses to be used when no other response. I suspect that part will go a lot faster because I don’t think I’ll need to focus on correctly making Ada aware of the topics or listing them in the suggested topics, but we’ll see…

ETA, 20:09: OK, it’s getting close to bedtime so I think that’ll do it for me today. Took a bit more time to eat and digest dinner than I expected. But tomorrow is another day!
