August Notes

Aug 23.. working on WAAAGH!s uploading some new versions.. no idea how the WAAGhs will effect performance right now as they are kinda chaotic, random. 

Actually.. havea bug.. something involveing ork WAAGH placement,,  Game will crash sometimes after ship selection.. just alt-tab and try again?.. maybe because of ork or warpstorm placement.. no crash, but Player object never shows up. 

Aug 22.. confusing image above.. but we see the Player's home sector.. a Red spherical Battle/crusade happening nearby.. and several little ork "waaghs".. The eye of Terror and some galactic clouds in the background.. Sector fleet not too far away guarding the area.. lets see... inside the Sector box, we can see a 30Lightyear sphere, and a larger 300 lightyear sphere showing range outside the box.  those white streaky things near the center, show the currents of the warp for those worlds.. 

Aug 21.. New Download,... cycle is complete.. Player can leave Terra, wander the Solar System and the Galaxy, and can return.. still needs some adjustment.. but now I can start adding some gameplay and "interesting situations" .... ok.. well the Frigate is working for transitions.. but the Star Galleon is not.. working on that.. 

Aug 20... Warpspace is almost exactly the way I envisioned it in my head.. I'm very happy.... well it still needs some turmoil and roiling clouds of terror

Aug 19th... changed the starting location back to starting at a random Imperial Sector.. so Player may start close to Terra, or be on the otherside of the Galaxy.. 

Aug 18... hey, it uploaded, and even though there is nothing for the Player to do, i think it looks nice (I'm kinda trying to copy the style of the old art, from the 80s and 90s)

Aug 17.. still having trouble uploading the game.. failed to upload all day yesterday

Aug 16.. OOPS.. download was broken most of the day, is fixed now. ...  Working on getting the basic "leave Terra, Fetch and Return" cycle and improving graphics, I think.. Galaxy is barren as it only has one star, Sol. 

Big thanks to Francesca Baerald who's map of the Sol system in M31 inspired me. ]

Aug 15, and continuing.. the game jam is over, working on "solar system map".. uploading a new version.. and got the Filesze down from 440 megs to about 340! .. so I'm happy about that..

Aug 14..  and I missed the Deadline for the Jam, again.. still working on it next week most likely... had some frustrating memory leak took me all day to find and fix (partical effects with lights with shadows, that was the problem).. so Player can still not yet leave the Solar System (thought the bug was in the "warpgate" but it was in some engine effects.).. and I also saw a real nice Map by Francesca Baerald and thought.. "now that's what I want my Solar System map to look like" (Francesca's map  https://www.artstation.com/artwork/ybNZ9Q ), and so that set me back a little bit as well...

Aug 12.. fixed some errors.. Player still can't leave solar system... working on that today..being able to open a warpgate and leave..  uploaded a new version, runs much better. 450 megs download

Aug 11.. made a small video.. leaving Luna, then through the solar system a bit.. i'm not happy with the solar system bit.

Aug 10

updating my "long term project" trying to do something smaller and more focused. Not much to do now.. Player can "leave area near Luna" and fly around a basic "Solar System".. not really worth downloading at the moment. 

Aug 9.. got some basic bits working.. pretty much kinda rebuilding it from the ground up, but it's much better this way.. some of the scripts i'm updating I wrote a year and a half ago when I was first learning c# and they are very very bad. … ooh, 400 megs download, that's a lot. 

Aug 08 

Journey to Terra.. OK, I got a week.. i'm taking my "long term project" and trying to add in some gameplay, story, etc... (again).. I take you back to the year 30,021, just 7 years after the Emperor has asceneded the Golden Throne.. and I give you a ship (just a junky pre-Imperial frigate.. for now.. I mean, It doesn't even work since I took out all the code and I'm starting over, sorta.. (keeping everything that's good, but moving on)

and here is where I was 1 year ago..
