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…
It’s Halloween now. I am not a child or a person who has children, nor even someone who turns on a porch light and hands out candy, so the trick-or-treating doesn’t matter to me. I don’t know anyone here to…
