Weekly Update #17

Time for more stuff!
(Original Post: http://aceofaces-mod.tumblr.com/post/129223611387/weekly-update-17)

Launcher Overhauls:

We start off with the game’s launcher. The first thing it got, was a Save Manager, a collction of tools to import and export saves as well as deleting all your saves (if there’s a need for that).

Second, it received a proper Quick Load. Current versions of the launcher could also launch the game without saves and start a new game. Not that it was a bad idea, but it wasn’t what I wanted to implement. In the upcoming version, it will check if you have any saves and enable the feature if you do. The third is a fix for high-DPI monitors. I can’t say that it will fix it, since I don’t have that kind of monitor as of this writting. At least it’s an attempt I guess…

The launcher will pick up more features and utilities as time goes on (one of the planned features is an Auto-Backup system) and hopefully it will be what I wanted to: improve the game’s engine by adding features with the help of a separate program. If you have any suggestions for features, let me know.

Engine and Map overhauls:

The engine got a new text wraper, so text fits better. There are some bugs to this, but they will get fixed.Also, I went back to some of the maps and re-designed them.

That is all for now. See you on the post.

It's pretty early, but here's a look at a mob manager, handling the enemies in the game. The code streamlines the programming of the enemies. Hopefully, I can expand it to more useful ways.

It's still pretty early work, but I am working on making the UI more dynamic and sleek. Including faces changing depending on their HP.

A bit of an old but goodie coming back: Quick Load! In an upcoming update, you can jump back to where you left off with a push of a button.

While I'm preparing August's Monthly Sync, I'm preparing a Trello board for the game. You can see what I'm working on here. https://trello.com/b/CjFyzH50/immortal-sins-game-development Pardon my dust, while I'm getting this up and running.
