This is a follow-up to my last entry (Fighting the Status quo that's killing my start-up), which to be earnest, hoped that it would turn out to be entirely different, and would only serve as a cautionary tale at best (opposed to this one); although the cracks were clearly visible at the writing of …
Dear All,
Hope this letter finds you well.
I have been climbing this ever-towering mountain with nothing, just my bear hands for years and years. Slowly, but surely, the goal of "reaching one's dream" became part of my fabricated destiny: As I wished to prove the world that said dreams are worth figh…
A lot has happened since my last blog entry–which was more than two months ago–and considerable changes occurred–both the good and bad kind. I'll go through all of them in detail below, explaining the whats and whys, and share one of the most important announcements of my life. So strap in, as this…
Originally, the plan was to fix up some of the bugs (which I quickly did already) that seemingly crippled the already in-place climbing system. Then move on with completing the stamina system (currently it only covers ground movements, have a video about it if interested). However, as I was remakin…
Biggest unique feature update yet: Spell casting with mouse! (long post, with goodies inside +video)
Way-back-when in early 2019, I had this idea of revisiting my childhood origins (of RPGs and tabletop, etc.), as I kept having these ideas to do so; a familiar feeling that pursued me, through my entire life, to tackle projects of my own. For one reason or another, things happened the way they…
This update was one of the most fun I've had in a long time! So buckle up, as I guide you through how the “your actions change the world” trope was extended to the player character, and how it changed the entirety of this update, from start to finish!
You can also skip to the very end, for the TL;DR…
Of Source Code, more pathfinding, stamina and more!
It all started with a simple checklist, which I put together for the next update:
- Fix glitching cursor; and disable input while minigame is active
- Add 3D movement
- Fix wall pathfinding/glitching
- Add dash/roll option to mouse (ctrl+mouse movement)
- Re-impl…
Before reading on, please have a look at this short (2 min) video (in case you missed my previous entry), just so we're on the same page.
For the longest–it feels like–I've gotten used to the fact–if there's-ever such a thing in a person's life–that most of my ambitions, goals, i…
So-o after finishing the base of the player controller (from last time), I thought to give myself a little break, and do something less demanding and more fun: in the form of creating some custom cursor animations. Well, suffice to say that I was in for a treat! Can't show you much (af…
Well . . . This past month was quite the interesting: First, shortly after my last entry, I discovered that by removing a chuck of the climbing system, it made it work much better and faster. So that was a thing. However, the elephant in the room was the idea of creating an …
