Like a moth to a flame, I find myself yet again fiddling with the Mechanus puzzle levels. I rediscovered Gestalt's camera system, getting deeper into the latest version and all the new features. For Mechanus, the player's camera now follows the travelling monodrone around the track, which makes it much easier to understand what's going on.

I also started adding in the new cutscene functionality a few other places. There's a great shot when entering Omelas for the first time. The camera spirals upward to view the city all around the player in an initial moment of awe. I'd like to do more of the same today. There's some other cutscenes I'm doing using the standard Bioware controls and I think I'd like to replace them with Gestalt's as they work much more cleanly.
