Hey all!<\/p>\n

I’m back with another development GIF (also in the development gallery<\/a>):<\/p>\n

\"Forerunner<\/p>\n

What’s going on here is, well, the actual theme in action (Beneath the Surface)! Once I replace the placeholder textures, it’ll make a lot more sense. Hopefully.<\/p>\n

What’s not seen on the screen is that I have a full level management system in place behind this, so I can rapidly add new environments\u00a0simply by specifying a few values\u00a0through a simple editor component. Honestly, I should probably have left this systems\/polish step until after I had some, y’know, gameplay…But I’m hoping that, with the frameworks\u00a0I’ve added and the refactoring I’ve done, the gameplay will be fairly\u00a0quick to add.<\/p>\n

By the way, I’d show my bugs and stuff too, except that 90% of them are seizure-inducing with the placeholder textures. There have been a lot of issues, so don’t get discouraged that I’m only showing my successful milestones!<\/p>\n

(just realized there’s 24 hours left)<\/em><\/p>","time":"April 26th, 2014 6:03 pm","title":"Forerunner: Third milestone (at the halfway mark)"}
