Working on the final set of tasks to complete dungeonbard – ok there’s still a few to go but tonight should at least allow me to complete a number of major tasks.
Also screenshot from last weeks screenshot saturday:http://screenshotsaturday.com/week113.html no 90 is dungeon bard
I have also used this as an incentive to enter the game in the #1GAM comp – so lets see if I can get this game complete for this first month of dev. Keep an eye on dungeonbard at http://www.onegameamonth.com/dungeonbard
Having a nice break but keen to restart the engines of development. Hoping everyone has had a great Christmas.
Cheers
Dungeonbard
Another big night completing the rest of the XMLafication of the dungeonbarx where I remove any old hardcoded rubbish and replace by inflating the object with XML data on initialisation.
A great night last night working late but implemented quite a cool pattern for loading XML files to inflate various objects including creatures (and their conversations) items and other game objects. This is big as it removes all the hardcoded constants that make the code very hard to maintain. It means I am very close to the state of development I have been striving for ( no not completion although that’s coming too : ) ). That state is what I call “content”.
This means I am close to the point where’s the engine is done and all we need to do is fill out the content and tweak/tighten the game.
fairly quiet couple of weeks as busy with work and now settling a little time to get this little project back on track. Excited by having a bit more time although expect the nightime missions will start to become more constant as I get this app ready for the appstore – but hey thats life in the indie world!!
Currenltly experimenting with some cool XML options to allow most of the creatures, objects and other cool items to be loaded from xml files and tying this in with the current PCG (Procedural Content Generation) codebase.
Back soon!!!!
Ok so this is quite late but quite a few things sorted
