Half and Half

Summary: In which murals are made or polished; examination objects and logic are put in place for said murals, and for a piece of graffiti; text is written for those examinations and the conclusions drawn from them; a minor footstep-sound issue is fixed; breakable pots gain placement sounds; the actions of a set of guardians are given likely-final timings; and response is begun to the possibility of no publication being gained.

Greetings and salutations!

This week's screenshot shows a new image of a mural; others are scattered through the body of the post!



The week just past was again a bit slow--in part for a new reason, and one that I intend to go into below. However, some things did get done!

Breakages

Summary: In which the breaking of a pot is enacted; menu-scaling is removed; said removal incurs further minor fixes; an issue in mouse-handling is addressed; and a testing-change is removed.

Greetings and salutations!

This week's screenshot shows some pots, now in place in level eight:



The week just past was a bit of a slow one, I'm afraid: between personal matters and my coming down with something near the end of the week, only a limited amount was done. Still, some things were done nevertheless:

Matters of Statuary

Summary: In which a mural is worked on; a shader is extended to support that work; a depth-offsetting issue is addressed; a buffer-bug is fixed; a statue is made more efficient; physics and logic for a character is improved; footsteps and death-sounds are made; and miscellaneous improvements are implemented.

Greetings and salutations!

This week's screenshot shows progress on a mural found in level eight:



The week just past was one of progress on a variety of elements, both technical and artistic, I do believe!

A Crown for the Dead

Summary: In which level-geometry sees touch-ups and fixes; a superfluous tomb-chamber is sealed off; a crown is worked on; logic for taking and replacing said crown is implemented; a mural is begun; some text-strings are written; one more pitch is made; and an engine-tutorial is updated.

Greetings and salutations!

This week's screenshot shows the half-crown that rests with the king entombed in level eight.



The week just past was perhaps a bit of a short one, in part likely due to both a personal issue and some disruption from minor changes being made to the building in which I live. Still, some things did get done! Continue reading "A Crown for the Dead" »

A King's Rest

Summary: In which a tomb gains a corpse; said corpse is given a crown; some level-logic is implemented for interactions connected to that crown; a new collectible is added; a rock-cleft is near-finished; certain interior elements are polished a bit; the extents of a level-exterior are worked on; exits are updated; and more publisher-pitching is done.

Greetings and salutations!

This week's screenshot shows the corpse of a king, entombed and preserved, to be found in level eight:



The week just past once again focussed on level-building, with just a few other things done besides:

Broken Stone

Summary: In which an exterior gains doors and foliage; a rockfall blocks an entrance; a shader-set is slightly enhanced; a second entrance is likely completed; the tomb into which said entrance leads is begun; a crevice connects two tombs; some interior geometry is worked on; a pathfinding system is improved; a bug is found in level one and fixed; and publisher-pitching progresses.

Greetings and salutations!

This week's screenshot shows a doorway into one of level eight's tombs, dark until entered:



The week just past was primarily one of level-building, although a few other things did get done:

Passages and Paths

Summary: In which interiors are worked on; an exterior is likewise; level-exits and a trigger are put in place; simple path-finding is implemented (but yet buggy); publisher-searching continues; and a solution to an update-incurred issue is sought and found.

Greetings and salutations!

This week's screenshot shows some changes to the geometry of a tomb found in level eight:



The week just past was a mix of level-geometry work, game-logic, and "business stuff":

Bright Walls

Summary: In which broken-stone geometry gains edging; other geometry is touched-up; chiselled, speckled stone is textured; a chamber is plated in shining gold; guardian-statues are made; some new enemy logic is begun; bug-fixes are implemented; a string-file is added; and more work on the publisher-search is done.

Greetings and salutations!

This week's screenshot shows a king's sarcophagus-chamber bright in the "reflected" light of gold-plated walls.



The week just past was a varied one, one of modelling and texture-making and logic-writing and more:

Several Stone Surfaces

Summary: In which level eight is worked on; a pebble-bed is textured; a "distance-splatting" shader is made; broken stones are added at cliff-side bases; cliff-faces are detailed; a tomb interior is begun; some footstep-sounds are made; a shader-change incurs tweaks to an extant level; and saving within a specific feature is handled.

Greetings and salutations!

This week's screenshot shows a start on an interior portion of the new level:



For the most part, the work of the week just past was given to such level-construction, with just one or two things done outside of that:

Passages

Summary: In which a mist-effect is completed; the logic for it is set in place; a level is then (more or less) done; some font-hunting is done; the customised key-binding module for the game is updated for non-English characters; a new level is begun; and a new variant-shader is put in place for the purpose of said level.

Greetings and salutations!

This week's screenshot shows a new location, a bare start on a new level:



The week just past was somewhat varied, if also somewhat slow, I feel:
