Summary: In which I return to A Door to the Mists; wall-edging is (I think) completed; geometry is touched-up; the streets of level two gain some detritus; more detailing is considered; level-modelling may be completed; what remains to the level is mentioned; and conversion to Python 3 is undertaken.
Greetings and salutations!
I don't have a screenshot this week: while work was done on level two that might be shown, the level has yet to be exported from Blender, then imported into the game, and Blender doesn't show it as I'd like. (Exporting and importing is a lengthy process, I fear. I've been given a potential solution for that--but it will likely only be attempted after this level is done.)
As you may gather from the above, the week just past saw me return, at last, to work on A Door to the Mists! Most of that work was done in the modelling of the level itself--in applying polish, specifically--but there was also a technical matter to attend to:

Tutorial Complete!
Summary: In which the "Panda3D Beginner's Tutorial" is at last complete; a link to it is given; and more thought is given to handling non-mouse GUI-inputs in A Door to the Mists.
Greetings and salutations!
For this week's screenshots, a look at the game that's built up in my "Panda3D Beginner's Tutorial":
Once again, the week just past was eaten up by work on the "Panda3D Beginner's Tutorial"--but this time, I actually completed it!

The Expanding Tutorial
Summary: In which a WIP main-menu for a side-game is shown; the tutorial continues to take time; and key-mapping complexities for A Door to the Mists are contemplated.
Greetings and salutations!
The week just past was once again taken up by my "Panda3D Beginner's Tutorial", so once again A Door to the Mists remains on hiatus. Having no screenshot for it, let me instead share an image from a side-game that I've been developing during off-hours. It's a short "ghost corridor" of sorts; a set of little spooky set-pieces for the player to encounter. It's titled "Night River", and this is the work-in-progress main menu for it:
As I said, the week just past was taken up by work on my tutorial. I'm making progress, I believe--I'm partway through the writing process at the moment--but it's proving to be a much bigger task than I had anticipated!

The Week of the Tutorial
Summary: In which tutorial-making expands to (more than) fill a week.
Greetings and salutations!
You may recall that last week I reported that I was working on a tutorial for Panda3D; this week's screenshots show some of the work done for that:
I believe that in last week's blog-post I estimated that it would take about half a week to complete my Panda3D tutorial.
It did not work out that way: Continue reading "The Week of the Tutorial" »
