Hey-o! I miss having the constant discord discussion that GainJam had - how's eveyone's progress going? How many of the 93 of us are feeling confident about getting something over the line?
Mine's going okay - I've done my usual thing of leaving all the writing until late so hoOooooo gonna be a typo-fest.
Me and my little team are doing well c: I'm not very confident that all the gameplay visuals will get finished, but the mechanics and writing definitely will be - I've been working incredibly hard to ensure that. I'm pretty excited about it too! c:
I've also left writing to a little later, but that's by necessity - I built a text parser system that reads strings from a .csv, and can do some basic 'codes.' I've also had to program a bunch of other systems stuff as a prerequisite to writing, so it's only yesterday that I got to the point where it was really an option. I've definitively crossed that hurdle though, so now I can just grind writing & scripting out, plus the odd other asset or additional code.
So, very confident that we'll be submitting, it'll just probably have very inconsistent visual quality. Still feeling good about the project ^w^
My indecisiveness kicked me real hard in the beginning and cost me a few days. But core gameplay is mostly done now, as well as most of the UI (God i hate UI). Just a few more things to work out. Art is another story... Everything right now is either a square or a circle (╥﹏╥). After tomorrow I plan on working solely on the art.
All in all probably about halfway done, which being at halfway point, isnt too bad i suppose.
Late last night/early this morning I decided to throw away almost all of the work and try something else. Three things happened in this order:
So things went from pretty bad to actually surprisingly good. I just need to figure out where I want to add polish. I’m worried that if I add odd encounters it might throw off the balance in the late game.
