I was working most of the day today - we're aiming for a milestone on Monday 13th, and there was a large turnout in the office to try to get content-complete by this Monday afternoon.
My main concern is getting everything to fit into memory. The PS2 has only 32Mb of ram, so we have to do a lot of paging in of data as the player runs around the level. Today I changed the code we use to manage overlays for people so it can also apply to other objects - specifically the cars parked around the town. The 3d models and textures for these cars takes up a fair amount of memory, and they are only found in some streets - so I hope to save a quarter megabyte or so by streaming them all.
