So, it's been 7.5 hours since the theme for this years Week of Awesome has been announced. I'm pretty tired and other than thinking I'll probably do something with "Alien Invasion" I'm not quite sure what direction to take it. I have a couple ideas that might fit the other themes but I'm not sur…
You know... because of the undead, right?
Ok let's see here...
Stuff that was good:
- Well first and foremost I had fun working on the game. It's the sort of feeling that reminds me why I love programming.
- I was able to balance project time with real life time rather well, I think. Though I could've us…
Seeing so many people with an entry ready to go is a bit intimidating. But it's also quite motivating. Congratulations to everyone that has their entry ready to go.
I spent too much time last night messing around with a spell charging mechanic that before I even started working I figured that I sho…
Slicer said something about hoping that everyone is approaching the polishing stage of their projects. The notion that I'll be able to focus on "polish" seems rather wishful thinking at the moment but perhaps it's not entirely out of reach.
The player can now... I guess "evoke" is the word, a shado…
I'm pretty tired and so I'm planning taking this evening off from coding and getting some sleep. Except I thought that I should post something so I thought, well I did some art stuff earlier today maybe I can throw a gif together quick. And now I'm a bit in the mood to try to get more art work done…
I'm slowly making progress but I think I'm starting to feel the weight of the work involved here. This project is on my mind quite a bit and it's starting to feel like a really long car trip. You can't quite take your attention off of trying to move forward and when a bit of a break comes you welco…
Another night of questionable progress. Pretty much everything has just been trying to get things to compile. Find one piece of functionality that I want to use and that's dependent on some other code which depends on some other code and so on. I have been able to get the blank terrain laid out and…
I think last night ended up being around 6 hours work but maybe half that coding and the other half writing and trying to come up with some kind of idea. Basically, I have the various libraries and stuff together and built to a Hello World sort of state where I probably should've been the night bef…
The twins are in bed and my work station (kitchen table) is pretty much setup. I believe the theme was announced about an hour ago and I'm very much unprepared. I had every intention of setting up a blank project last night but instead took on some wasps or hornets and couldn't get back into projec…
