Here we are, almost christmas. What can be said for a day in the life? The player is implemented. Tools function. The clocks and calenders work. But one thing I've found when coding other projects is that it can be so much better. While all the leg work has been done to get these features ready the game is stagnating while awaiting very basic features.
Before I do anymore work I have to do something about the inventory. Needlessly complex. useless controls and a horror to comprehend after spending more than five minutes not looking at the code. So I will be trashing the current system. Atleast the menu anyway. As said before you pick up more and more as you go on and realise things can be better.
The new inventory is being written to take full advantage of the mouse with click and drag functionality along with controller support. Tools can also now be introduced to the UI which as to now have depended on debug code to work properly.
Whats to be expected right now? well...
Farming demo - Nothing special this demo but farming is working. So its all ready to go with what we have. Also it will offer a chance to see a very small snapshot of the game. Im aiming to have it ready by the 23rd.
NPC's - Dialogue works, spawning works on paper. Why not get some characters going? Having Npcs to experiment with will help the game build up pretty quickly once all their functionality are ready.
??? - ???????????????????.
