Figured there should be a place here to talk about progress and reach out if you need help with something. 

So, how are people's games going/does anyone need help?

I've been finding a rhythm to get back into work. A lot of this project fell off because my IRL job tore up my life and my perception of the game (which was loosely based on people at work), so there's a big mental block now for working on the game. But I'm finding ways around the block and easing into it again. I'm hoping to get another build to my testers in a couple weeks that has some new content they haven't seen before.

I'm working to get as much as I can of a demo finished before Velox Fabula 3 kicks off. I've got the opening sequence written and mostly implemented aside from the art which is in the thumbnail stage. Trying to chip away at it in-between my actual job stuff has been slow going until recently. Hopefully, I can have the demo at least fully written and ready for implementing in the next couple weeks *fingers crossed*

I've not gotten properly started yet, but I've been rolling a couple of system tweaks around my head.

I think I've hit on how the change can work, I just need to run lots of test rolls and stuff (it's a ttrpg). The dice system is based in tiered difficulty (which tier is GM discretion), and it's heavy RP rather than crunchy rules.

So, I have the idea that rolling upwards of X number of successes beyond the max difficulty will potentially cause problems. So, if you're trying to punch through a wall, and you over-succeed the difficulty too much, maaaaaaaybe you just burst the city water pipes, that sort of thing - and it's limited only by the inventiveness (and cruelty) of the GM.

So that's where I'm at for now. After the end of this month it'll become my main project, so I'll get going properly!

Worked on the web version and finally taking a small break. 
 I say this but I will most likely work on it after the weekend

I think I'm almost done with my "No day 99" game. It may need just a bit more polishing and testing. Today, I wrote an "unconventional" walkthrough of it and made a draft of the game page. It's going to be weird and depressing and definitely not for everyone but I hope someone appreciates it...

And it's out! And I'd like to hear what you think of it, what you like, what you don't like, how you think it can be improved, anything. But this time, I'd like to add: please, go easy on me... ;n;

Finally wrapped up Pig Chomp 1! 🎉 I thought it was done, but I kept noticing the clever enemies slipping off the screen or getting confused. My solution was to make players move one step at a time by pressing a key. It’s not ideal and a bit old-school, but it keeps the intelligent enemies chasing properly.

I also had to disable player teleportation, because it left the clever enemies totally confused. Limited events made these fixes tricky, but I achieved my main goal: adding clever, tracking enemies to the mix.

On the bright side, Pig Chomp 2 can have smoother, continuous movement since it doesn’t include the tracking enemies, so that one feels more fluid.

Feels good to finally call this one “done”! 

My game would have come out this week if my CPU had not melted. It is finished but there are a few files essential to its proper release stuck on my PC's hard drive until my new CPU arrives Wednesday.
