I’ve added fully functioning enemies, weapons and projectiles. There’s also basic AI, and a basic user interface showing which weapon you have and some other things.<\/p>\n

But the best part is that I’ve created a fully configurable content file, allowing me (or in fact anyone) to edit everything about this game, except the textures. I can now add new monsters, give them one or more weapons to choose from, and set their level. Then I can create maps, and add spawn points for specific monster levels. That’s it! No hardcoding monsters, weapons and projectiles, it’s all in the configs. Instant mod support!<\/p>\n

So the plan for this game was to make it party-based, and have party members be interesting with lots of dialogue, and then have them die and let everyone else (or just you when you’re alone) cry at their death. I have no idea how far I will get with that tomorrow. I only have about half a day left since I have other things to do sadly, so I’ll probably scrap that idea. Maybe I still add party members and have them be dumb and suicidal, or maybe I’ll just keep it solo as it is now, I don’t know yet. Given my schedule, I’ll probably add a crapload of content (loot, inventory, etc) and turn it into a silly dungeon crawler instead of the story based party dungeon crawler I had in mind. But we’ll see.<\/p>","time":"December 17th, 2011 5:40 pm","title":"Progress after a day"}
