Protobound is dead, moving on.

Protobound is dead, moving on.

In order to get these problems fixed I would have to rewrite a large part of the player and the party. Persisting data the way I expected would work just doesn't seem to want to work. I've spent a few days trying to get it to

Protobound Day 12

Protobound Day 12

No sleep today, starting at 4am because there was just no way I was getting any rest. Laid there in bed for 5 hours and could not sleep at all. I might go pass out at some point during the day, I can't be sure. Drinking some tea

Protobound Day 11

Protobound Day 11

Really late start today, slept 12 hours I guess I was really tired. I spent a chunk of the day so far configuring a server and updating my other servers. I should really set up a central control system to manage all of these when I get the time. For

Protobound Day 10

Protobound Day 10

Running on low energy today, woke up to a power outage early this morning and the adrenaline of trying to get the bugs and geckos sorted for heat meant there was no going back to sleep. Today I will get the turns working with attacks coming from both sides and

Protobound Day 9

Protobound Day 9

Today I need to get the enemies wandering in the world and get started on the combat system. The combat UI is becoming more solid in my head now, I can picture it and how it flows now. Soon. For now I am working out how the enemies will wander

Protobound Day 8

Amazing what a fresh mind will let you do. Gotta remember to take breaks or start making dumb mistakes. So I managed to fix my issues with the equipment system in 5 minutes this morning. The stack overflow came from some accidental recursion. I did a find and replace to

Protobound Day 7

Protobound Day 7

Continuing where I left off yesterday, I'll get the equipment stuff hooked up to the UI and then implement the party members' panels. Side note; funny how Tesla used flash memory for high I/O. I mean why would you ever do that? Anyone who has worked

Protobound Day 6

Today I will be trying to get the equipment system in on top of the stats system. Yesterday's after work project turned out to be a bit of a pain when the ESP8266 I chose bought the farm and the ESP32 I had as a backup has no

Protobound Day 5: Stats

Protobound Day 5: Stats

Stats are pretty simple and straight-forward as far as RPGs go. They are a set of numbers that increase or decrease based on levels and modifiers. Each character would have base stats and modified stats which are applied to attacks and defense calculations based on the types of attacks (in

Protobound Day 4: Party time.

Protobound Day 4: Party time.

Today's focus is the Party system and recruitment. Party members for now will just be NPCs that follow you around. First step is to create the recruit to party function. Then add a switch for Party mode/NPC mode. Next I need to set the party member to

Protobound Day 3

Protobound Day 3

So I am working on the NPC wandering AI. There are a lot of ways I can do this and it's proven overwhelming. You'd think it would be simple. Tell the npc to walk to a destination within range. The problem is some of the ways

Protobound Day 2

Protobound Day 2

So I started off adding some collision to my interior maps by making specific parts of the walls collide. Furniture and the like will be placed free-hand as objects in the map, this way I can attach behaviors to them or animate them as I see fit. The next thing

Protobound: Day One

Protobound: Day One

Right now I am updating Arch, installing the new Linux kernel and eating breakfast. Soon, it begins. Had some hiccups in the updates, seems to be on track now. We'll see after the reboot. Could lose a day here if it goes wrong and I have to reinstall

Setting up Project Management

Setting up Project Management

I set up the gitlab repo with project management and having broke it down into systems and steps I realize it's a bit large but I think if I keep to the milestones and try to keep things simple I should be able to pull it off. I
