A little look "under the hood"


I may post a few most of these in the future

The screenshot above is taken from my terminal. Yeah, mac supports using wallpapers inside a terminal screen :P

The game was written in LAURA II, the “Lua-based Advanced Utility for Roleplay and Adventuring”… version II.
I developed it myself for Star Story and I reused it in TFT REVAMPED.

The name already implies the used scripting language was Lua.
All scripts and assets were packed into big files for easier distribution and the system I used for that is “JCR6” or “Jeroen’s Collected Resource” version 6. You can see JCR6 as a kind of ZIP, but there are a lot of nifty features in JCR6 that ZIP does not support, and a lot of those are heavily used in the game.

The amount of lua files you see in the screenshot is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the total number of lua files that were produced while writing this game.

Can you see why this pyramid deal could never be solved from the start (regardless what the already removed cards are)?

Disney Princesses go to Hogwarts

No more launcher needed in the new game, however I kept in Marrilona's dress-ups in the load-game screen based on the current time of the year.

Just a demonstration of how I manage to mess up the simplest things.

Too easy, you've been warned now

A few facts and fables about fire.

A #phrase of #wisdom from the French scientist and philosopher #BlaisePascal Two stories, the one tied to this game (new version), and a prequel novel based on this game have this quote. Perhaps you understand why....

I think I really need to redo that hat in the Dutch dress-up, as I think that's downright terrible, but at least you have a bit of a feeling what the language section screen in the new version will look like. (EDIT: I did a second attempt. Better?)
