10/18/98

This is another quick (short) update. I actually made some of the options on the stock menu work. Actually, they bump up you HP. (like potions or herbs) Anyway, I used text based menus so when you select which character you want. It gets kinda confusing as to what character needs an item used on them. Anyway, I thought it would be cool to put a mini stat bar above the characters so it will be easy to tell which character needs what. I haven't actually implemented it yet, I just did the mock up screenshot.

I'm still busting my buns at work so my time still limited. This is my last month. God willing, next month's updates will have lots more content that this...





10/10/98

Welcome to my bi-weekly update! Heh.. I know, I'm going to loose my fan base if I keep this up.. My big fan base.. atleast three people by my estimate.. Anyway, I got some stuff done but nothing to brag about. I sat down for a few hours today and made the inventory controls work, finally. I many bugs in there from the last time I worked on it. I don't know what I was thinking then, but it works now.. the interface might seem a little odd at first, but after you navigate the menus for a bit, its laid out fairly well. I'm happy with it. Now I need to modify this routine for magic selections, then modify again for equipment selections. I know, everyone's screaming, "battle scenes! battle scene!" Well, I'm working it.

The reason for no update last week was the fact that I didn't get anything done. Every spare moment was spent trying to keep up at the office. I decided to leave Gathering of Developers so they can get someone in there with more time than I've got. At the end of this month, I no longer work for them. Kind of scarey as I haven't exactly decided what I'm going to do. I have been interviewing with some people and I've got a little direction, but its still up in the air. Really though, its kinda fun and adventurous. Whatever happens, I figure it will give me more time to work on TLOT. The development time on this project is a little bit on the pathetic side.

I donno if anyone has been over to ELC's site for a while, but he's got a collection of MP3's available. The collection is titled Destiny. The name is rather apropriate for me right now. I've got all the tunes downloaded and I've been meaning to turn them into a CD. This is some good stuff.

Well, until next time..
