Do you know what that means? No work for the next three days. For the next two days, I will be working on projects and tutorials. For tutorials, I will be working on Eyes of the Dragon and A Summoner&#8217;s Tale. Then, time permitting, I will work on the third Forest Rush tutorial. I will also be working on Eyes of Ishanti over the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s Next?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Good question! I&#8217;m glad that you asked. As I said above, the next two tutorials will be for Eyes of the Dragon and A Summoner&#8217;s Tale. They will be nearly identical, covering the exact same topic. That is having conversations with characters. I plan to work on A Summoner&#8217;s Tale first, then Eyes of the Dragon. After that, if I get to it, the Forest Rush tutorial will be about collision detection with tile. So lots of good stuff is coming down the pipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My Projects<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>My main project continues to be Eyes of Ishanti. It is a fantasy platformer based mainly in a forest setting. However, there will be other settings, a castle, a dungeon, and mountains. I have the player wandering around the map almost how I want it. Right now, I&#8217;m perfecting ladders between platforms. I have several enemies for the player to defeat: a goblin, a dragon, a beholder and a bear. My plan for the evening is to add at least two more enemies, hopefully, three. Otherwise, I need to start work on the level editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To say that things did not go well this week would be a dramatic understatement. Still, I did get some work in on Eyes of Ishanti and a bit on tutorials, but not a lot. I&#8217;m not going to let it influence my weekend, though. Hopefully, I will finish those two tutorials and get a good start on the third. I will have to see what is in the cards. I am going to wrap this up here. Good luck with your game programming adventures!<br><strong><em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\">Cynthia<\/mark><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Friday!
