Controller input works perfectly as far as I can tell, and melee attack registration, health, and enemy destruction all work. The most major problem remaining is that of making entities affect the game state in a way that I can…
It’s been a pretty okay week. I fixed a bunch of bugs in the entity system, particularly in saving/loading data, and I decided after much deliberation that ‘EntityPrototype’ wasn’t actually a very accurate class name so I refactored everything to…
Syncing turned out to be fairly easy to implement once I decided how to approach it. I had a bit of trouble getting the character to move with the platform she was standing on, but that was mostly just because…
Things have been a bit chaotic with the holidays, but I have the inter-entity collisions basically working. I say basically because they detect each other properly and they block each other properly, but some issues have come to light regarding…
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…
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…
