Well, the easy part is done. I’ve finished 99.5% of the coding. The hard part will be the demo this morning because I’m not so great at talking in front of people. I have always dreaded it. Still, it has the potential to have a huge impact on our users. So for that reason, I’m actually, in some way, really looking forward to the demonstration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Up next is an Eyes of the Dragon 4.0 tutorial. That tutorial will start to dig into the combat engine. Again, it will be a turn-based combat system. The first step will be to build the role-playing game system. I will be using the SPECIAL system. That stands for Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility and Luck attributes, with health and mana as secondary attributes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am eager to get back to my projects. It has been some time since I’ve worked on a game. I will be working on Shadow Monsters. I was working on the maps before I had to take a deep dive into my editor. I find content creation so much harder than programming. I want it to be perfect, engaging, and immersive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I spent twenty-four hours working on my editor the past two days. It was gruelling but rewarding. It was not game programming, though. I always want to be doing game programming. There is not much demand for a MonoGame game programmer, though. I don’t really care for Unity. I want more control than what Unity provides. I like the lower level details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyway, there are still some details that I want to get to before the demo. So, I am going to wish you a good day. I will be back tomorrow with another episode of game programming adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
