For some reason, I can’t quite seem to focus on finishing a Team Fortress 2 map successfully lately; after scrapping my first CTF map concept, I started up another one (as mentioned a few weeks ago), but now I’ve decided to drop that one and start work on a new variation of the first one.  While this does manage to keep things fresh and new, it’s not so great in terms of actually getting a final product.  This week also feels like a bit of a holding pattern in terms of starting new games, as I know a whole slew of titles I’m interested in are coming out over the next several weeks, first and foremost being the new Fire Emblem for the DS.  With that in mind, I haven’t really wanted to get too involved in any older titles, so I’ve just continued hacking away at King’s Bounty and Hoshigami.  Speaking of Hoshigami, if anyone out there comprehends this confeigm engraving system, please enlighten me; even the FAQ writers don’t seem entirely clear on it…
