Not a bad week. Created an inter-entity collision behavior and a system whereby entities can interact with each other, both of which will be necessary to get attacks working. I actually ended up using the same kind of stacked enum…
Since I’ve been kind of in-between major components of the game, I’ve been spending time just looking through my code, figuring out things that need doing, pursuing components which are, perhaps, not particularly vital to the project but are personally…
The first thing I did this week was throw together a rough list of the programming tasks remaining to be done: Game-state changes (recording defeated enemies, found items, triggered events, etc) Attack registration and collision with entities Dialogue management Text…
Detail editor is done. Finally. it’s not perfect, but it works reasonably well. I’m sure that when it comes time to actually build levels and stuff using it I’ll find tons of issues that need fixing, both in the editor…
Um, you might have noticed that the last two updates had the same name and number. I copy old posts as a template so I don’t have to dig up the header image every time, and once in a while…
Another one way behind schedule. It took a bit of finagling, but I think the new name system for particles is working correctly. I’ve added a field to edit the particle name into the editor, but it still needs to…
Unsurprisingly, there have been complications. Foremost among these is a feature that I forgot I needed for particle effects to work properly, at full flexibility and power: The ability for a single particle to change type. I know I’m going…
I’m doing a terrible job of getting these out on-schedule. I think I keep wanting to have some solid progress to show before each update, so on weeks where I’m a bit behind I tend to procrastinate on the devblogs…
Wow it sucks that this is going to be the 100th update, because this was actually a pretty shit week for productivity. If I’d realized sooner that this was going to be number one-hundred, maybe I could have tried to…
I completely forgot to write a devblog yesterday. Changing up my schedule a bit is completely throwing off my sense of what to do when. So what have I been up to? I got all of the game’s menus except…
