So after half a year on sickleave for stress, I started working on my adventure game framework again 3 days ago, having as a goal to commit something that advances the project every day, no matter how small. You can see the commits here: https://github.com/CultOfApe/philtroyGodot3/commits/master I started off with some minor bugs that annoyed me, […]
So, if anyone has actually been reading this blog (don´t worry, I won´t fault you if you haven´t) I suffer from chronic depression (since many years now), but most days I manage to avoid falling too deep into the abyss. When you feel low everyday, you kind of have to develop the mental tools to […]
So I stopped planning my coding sprints, to take some pressure off myself. I´m in a really bad rut at work, and depression is still a considerable factor, but I work around it when possible. That said, I would consider this weekend productive. The inofficial goal was to create a small scenario to validate the […]
Since I´ve had a bit of bout with depression, I decided to not set a goal for this weekend past. That said, I got some work done on the game engine, though I spent quite some time on another project – a match 3 game prototype – as well. work on save slots Further work […]
My (chronic) depression hit me quite hard this weekend, so I didn´t get the results I wanted. Luckily I have mental strategies to get work done, I just need to focus on the boring, tedious stuff (ironically), and wait with any coding that requires more focus. I´ll still check off the list I posted last […]
Time for another weekend dev sprint, after a week with little time over for code – but I still managed to do some code cleanup and bugfixes! 🙂 I´m really pushing to have something to show by the end of the month, so let´s set an ambitious agenda 🙂 Finish inventory item system Give item […]
Might seem pointless since no one reads these blog posts yet, but I prefer to document my development progress anyway. Once I have something presentable, I´ll push this project/page on social media, and let´s see what happens 🙂 To hold myself accountable for the promises I make, and motivate myself to work harder, here´s a […]
This week, so far, I´ve continued work on the event system. It´s till not complete, but I would estimate that we are about 95% there. I still want to this system as solid as possible, so next step will be to create a test case to try it out with, as the default scene I´m […]
So, porting my game over to Godot 3 is long overdue, but yesterday I began the work, and I expect to be done this weekend! However, such a long time without even having a glance at the code makes it really hard to understand (even if I was the one who wrote it), so I […]
Inspiration for my game projects has failed me unfortunately (though they´re just on hold for awhile), but I wouldn´t be Ape if I didn´t find other creative projects to fuel my inspiration again. About two months ago I started modding Skyrim and Fallout again, with the help of the already available modguides that are available […]
