My major accomplishment this week was getting game entities set up so they can be exported to and imported from xml files. This is the culmination of what I’ve been trying to achieve by breaking each entity down into a…
The trip ended up taking a lot out of me. I’ve been feeling rather tired. Progress on the project is still happening, but it’s slowing down a bit while I figure out when to fit each task into my say…
At this point, I’m more or less comfortable calling the animation system done. It’s way better, now, than what I had before, and should make implementing animations I devise for any other entities super quick and easy. Among the biggest…
Last week’s estimates proved to be overly optimistic. The animation system, which I had hoped and expected would only take two or three days, ended up absorbing all of my effort this week. The good news is that it all…
This is a kind of boring week to talk about. Don’t get me wrong, I got a lot done, but the stuff I’ve been working on is all architectural foundational stuff leading up to developing a robust and flexible entity…
Well, the crouch attack animation ended up being much more work than I had previously anticipated. I had expected it to take a day or two to get it finished and implemented, but it ended up taking the better part…
Well, it’s been a really weird and depressing week, but not actually too bad in terms of productivity. I’m still mired in animation work, but the light is definitely starting to show at the end of the tunnel! First, I…
Weird week. Lots of stress coming from lots of different places in my life, lots of missteps, lots of doubt. Sometimes that’s just how it goes I guess. Well, first thing’s first. I finished the running attack animation. Here’s what…
Well, for the most part it was just another week of hammering away at collision problems. I actually feel like I’m making steady progress on that front: The character tracks the surface of slopes mostly correctly now, and I actually…
There’s a lot to be said for superficiality. The more programming work I do, the more often I find that it’s easiest to start with the outside and work your way in, rather than build a scaffold towards a nebulous…
