November FBS Update

Greetings Everyone,

I've updated your voting points for November. There are still two Patreon users without a forum account. (You'll need an account to vote.) And one PayPal contributor (I'll email him this.) 

Over October, we raised $159.91 via Patreon and $26 via Paypal. That brings our monthly total to $185.91 and our milestone funds to $1677.11. We need $220.49/month to hit our goal by the deadline. I believe we're still on track to do that, but just barely.

Beyond that, AeroMogul v0.0.1 is complete! You recently saw videos of me going over the main menu features. Since that video, I have changed parts of the theming, implemented localization support, and allowed for finer control of colors.

Here you can see cleaned input fields, dropdown boxes, and switches. Also, the buttons at the bottom are cleaner.

And here are some more pictures of the switches. All of these widgets colorize better than before with the theme editor.

There is a delay in the Main Menu artwork. As you may have heard in the news, Russian attacks in Ukraine have disrupted the electrical grid, so MrX's progress is sluggish. He's also had some hardware issues, so he's moving things to a new system. He's got a deadline now, which I hate giving deadlines, but he's always been fantastic at meeting them. So we should see some eye candy in a couple of months... hopefully. 

For AeroMogul v0.0.2, I'll concentrate efforts on the in-game GUI and UX. This version will likely take a while to finish because I intend to implement most of the game UI. I have some premade assets to use as a basis for this version, but we'll improve upon those art assets in future builds.

After that, v0.0.3 will begin work on the backend systems and interlinking the game UI with logic systems in the game. I hope to get a rudimentary game going at that point and possibly an FBS mini-demo at either the end of v0.0.3 or v0.0.4.

My productivity should increase as I get more familiar with the language and the engine. Both of which are new to me.
