Slow writing week, only 4k words.
Got a fair bit of programming in, still ripping parts out of previous projects to build something newer and more tightly scoped. Basically Warframe if it were a slower, more tactical, dungeon crawler. The goal is to build out a very limited multiplayer mission shooter so I can focus heavily on really perfecting combat. Then maybe build it out into a full game as I go. It's been fun revisiting some of my older features. Chat has a much more scalable api backend now, and I'm really looking forward to revisiting active ragdoll + poise. It was already quite fun knocking dudes down, I'm really looking forward to playing with poise breaking crowd control spells. Sending people flying with spikes of earth and gusts of wind should be a very fun playstyle even if I give it minimal damage.

I was sick last week, so didn't get a lot done beyond minor improvements.
How are you doing @Southkraut?
A little concept work, including some structural pseudocode for various classes I expect to need. No actual code work this week.
Mostly just parenting; spent a lot of time putting in extra dad hours because the little one seemed especially appreciative of attention and unusually cooperative, and I wanted to strike that iron while hot. Nice weather too, so lots of monkeying around on the playground. We went to the local airport to do some planespotting and actually ended up getting invited inside for coffee and chocolate. She's fascinated by volcanoes right now, so I told her everything I knew on the topic (which took several hours), and then got additional information via documentaries and ordered some (child-appropriate) books on the subject. So I guess I tinkered on child education?

Just under 79k words on my NaNoWriMo project. I was away from Saturday to Tuesday so wasn't able to do any writing. At this point a first draft will probably run to 100k words. Funny to think there was ever a time in which I thought this story would fit into 50k.
