Current dev work is focused on the new building systems.My goal is to have the basics of the data model worked out locally by the end of the week. Most of this right now is focused on how best to handle undo/redo so that it's fast but also simple to synchronize. I had previously designed had some schemes for this but som...
Heya folks, it's time to talk about the roadmap for the alpha.One interesting part of shipping anything, even at the alpha or beta stages, is how long it takes relative to 'normal' work. All the various threads of the solution need to come to rest, be tested, fixed, changelogs & posts written and then finally shipped...
Whyyyyy, WHY did I say on discord that the next alpha update would be 'soon'? It angered the demo-gods and we've been dealing with an asset-loading problem ever since. That issue has now been fixed and I feel like we know when that update will be landing. However I am not evening hinting at when that could be given what ...
Update time!
On the business side, things are looking good. @Ree has been off
talking to accountants and such, working out details and so that has
been exciting for us. Even though I've probably said this a dozen times
already, getting a shot to be independent from the start is still
mind-blowing.
I thought you...
It's been a nice day today, both @Ree and I got some coding done. Here are a few highlights:- Dice feel regressed a while back and Ree got that fixed back up again.- He also updated the implementation of the radial menus which we hope has fixed the issues with some stats not showing. I tested this but we had never been a...
Day two of the dev planning and again things went well. The main job today was going back through the task lists and working out which ones would be dependent on which. This is important so we don't get blocked by each other and that, for the cases where the is a dependency, there will be work the blocked person can be d...
The end of last week saw me playing with a cool toy so I thought I'd write about it.First though, I've carried on with my digging into various erlang bits and bobs.With a bit of prodding I was able to get epmdless working with my erlang/docker setup. This is great as distributed erlang is one of the powerful features tha...
Ree and I have been having the first dev planning session today for the road from here to Beta.
We've been going through the roadmap
and making sure we know that, between us, we had an understanding of
the next steps for every feature. This doesn't mean that each is fully
designed, in many cases features need prot...
Heya everyone,
Dev logs will return late next week. From the comments in the last
update, it sounds like the best approach is to link those dev logs here
once a week. We can start that and see how it feels over time.
For now, we are doing post-Kickstarter stuff :)
First off @Ree has been off down to see an account...
The
Kickstarter campaign is complete and to say that we are surprised with
the result would be an exercise of understatement at near Olympic
levels.
You've already had a month of us talking at you so I'll keep it brief. This is amazing :D
We are just so happy that the game resonates with so many people, and
tha...
The Kickstarter exclusive dice are making their debut!To those who backed at these levels, we hope that in the years ahead you'll enjoy flashing this little sign that you helped make this project happen.
And to all the backers and supporters, thank you once again!
"In the final hours of the world, a group of adventurers stands ready to... get their butts kicked by chat!"
Hello!
As the final hours of the Kickstarter campaign draws near, we invite you to partake in an interactive live event on Twitch,
where YOU will summon the vile creatures who will do battle against
members ...
Our lead artist has just returned after recovering from a cruelly timed malady and immediately began the task of finding the identities of the Kickstarter exclusive minis. In short, order that was achieved so here they are!This is the first step in the life of a character. Next, with concepts
in hand, please join us as...
Wow! Before this campaign started there was no doubt in my mind that we would not reach the last stretch goal, it just seemed to outlandish. But here we are, a week to go and the cyberpunk target seems all but inevitable at this point.Thank you so much for taking us here. We can't wait to get started on this for real.Tod...
So I had to hold off posting yet again yesterday but today is a new day and one with great news. We smashed through the second stretch goal only hours after the Animated Spellbook episode went live and we are well on the way to the Cyberpunk goal.Thanks to you all yet again. This has taken so many things from the wishlis...
The end of last week looked at lot like the picture above.This was because I want sketching out ideas for the undo/redo system and I wanted a nice simple model for doing this. This is 4x4 map where tiles are represented by letters.These tests allowed me to find small mistakes in my assumptions and to fix those in a much ...
The Kickstarter, while busy, has allowed us to step back, recover from the prep, and do some technical planning. However, sometimes making stuff is just too much fun and in that spirit, Jason has started work on a new mini. We thought you would like to see a little of the 'behind the scenes' as the mini evolves so here a...
