A Progress Report!
Added 2020-02-07 14:19:42 +0000 UTCI'm pleased to say that things are moving along nicely with Version 0.1.5. As I mentioned before, I've been busy building the game back up from scratch, cleaning up a lot of code, simplifying and streamlining it no end, and I've also put in a few little easter eggs and extra interractions, etc, around campus, too. The UI is way better and hopefully the game just looks and plays a whole bunch better than it did (fingers crossed with far fewer bugs too!)
Whats more, I'm proud to report that this morning I passed over the "finish line" ... kind of. What i mean by that is that the game is now at the exact same point storywise as it was in Version 0.1.4., before I took all this time to take it apart and put it back together again!
But, what this also means is that going forwards, I'm just free to write ALL NEW STUFF!!! The structure and skeleton of the game is now much more firmly in place and I know the workings of it like the back of my hand. No more quick-fixes or rush jobs, no more getting caught up in confusing code that I don't know how to untangle! From here on in, all future updates should be a lot less tricky!
So with that being said, I'd better get on with writing some brand new content for y'all before I actually release Version 0.1.5!
I've learnt my lesson and don't want to promise a firm date - just in case I miss it again - but as a vague idea, I'm hoping it'll be all shipshape and ready to release in maybe a week or so?
Onwards!
