Tools update - Info Editor

Earlier today, I decided to go a different direction with the idea of a 'journal editor,' instead splitting its functionality across a myriad of other application-appropriate editors.  For example, journal entries about characters go in the Character Editor, quest entries go in the Quest Editor, etc..  I haven't actually implemented any of this, of course, but I'll get around to it.

That being said, there were a few categories which didn't quite fit anywhere else.  To address this, I went ahead and made an 'Info editor.'  That doesn't seem like a particularly good name for it, but I can't think of anything better so I guess that's that.

Thankfully, the type of data being messed with is all very similar; identical actually, except for its parent category.  This means the editor was dead easy to write compared to basically everything else I've done.  Only about a 1000 lines of code, and I bet a more competent programmer could probably squeeze it into half that.

Anyway, enough jawing.  Here's a screenshot:



Like I said, simple.

WIP 3: Finished and named (Orval Creep n' Hammer)

It took a while, but the game's finally finished. I present to you:   Orval Creep n' Hammer . Alright, so I'm not great with names.  Believe it or not this is the best iteration that myself and three other people could come up with. Features: Stars four women Multiple animated sex scenes Wood paneling There are currently a couple of known issues, both particular to the GNU/Linux version.  Basically, typos that I forgot to correct before uploading the files.  Oops.  ðŸ˜¢ It's a simple enough game, give it a download and try it out (approx. 700mb).

WIP 3, sex system update

The last week has been fruitful, at least in regards to the quality of the sex scenes in-game. The previous system consisted of a bunch of still frames (jpg) packed into a binary file and forming a very crude type of animation.  It worked, but it was slow to load and a brute-force effort at best. I've since updated the system a bit, though, finally figuring out how to successfully play video files with SDL2 in a useful way.  After that, it was a matter of tweaking the structure of the bin files that contain the animations (cleverly named 'VID' files, go figure) and re-writing the tools and scripts used to create said files. I also tweaked the in-engine system for handling the scenes to make that a bit less crap, as well. The results are dramatically better and far less resource-intensive (less VRAM used, less disk space for the VID files, etc.).  What this means to the end user is that the game will be slightly less obviously shitty, so that's nice.

FGAME, beginnings

FGAME (working title still) is going to be a relatively short game, with only five or six concise 'acts' that take place throughout.  As such, I didn't expect to spend very much time building the skeletal structure of the code, or the plot, or the standin character art. As usual, I've underestimated the amount of work that actually goes into creating a fucking game, even a fantastically short one.  You'd think I'd know better, but no, it's a lesson that just doesn't seem to stick. Still, some honest-to-god progress has been made.  I've learned some of the renpy ropes and have already built the majority of the locations that can be accessed, and the player's means of accessing them.  None of the final art of course, which is going to take the longest by far, but... baby steps. I've also finalized the plot structure, events, etc. and started in on the script in a proper fashion.  The first 'act' is done, though I haven't
