Minor | The Woods - Refining the Testimonials
23:44I've had a fairly hard time coming up with creature concepts, which I think is because I hadn't refined the testimonial descriptions into more specific creature types. I went back over my testimonial and applied the traits I'd listed to specific creature types that I used to imagine, as well as adding more that I've remembered since my initial testimonial. I then went over my brother's testimonial and applied his descriptions to the types of creature they fit best.
