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…

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…
Bleh. Okay. I’m done working on Turncoat for now. It was going okay, but I just have zero passion for the project at the moment. I think it might be worth picking back up at some point, but right now…
I’ve been spending a lot of the last week trying to figure out if I really want to be working on this game and, if so, how I want to go about working on it. I’m trying to sort out…
