So, I just wanted to check in because it has been a while since I made a post. Work has kept me busy, and I have been getting back up to speed in the evenings. I am taking the day off tomorrow for a long-overdue optometrist appointment. Also, it is Thanksgiving weekend this weekend. So, I don’t know how much time I will have for tutorials. I hope to be able to spend a few hours tomorrow or Saturday on one, though. Sunday I will be at my sister’s place for dinner. Monday, though a holiday here, I will be going over a workshop that I did today. I wasn’t able to give it my full attention, and I want to do it justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The plan is to display character stats and fix the health and mana\/stamina bug I introduced. I know that character stats are displaying currently. However, I want something a bit better looking. To that end, I modified the image from the inventory state to display the character stats. I don’t think that the tutorial will take more than a couple of hours, and I hope that with the time I want to devote to it, I will finish the tutorial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Besides work and tutorials, I want to work on my personal projects again. I did load Silver Prophet last night and ran through what I have developed so far. I didn’t test the combat engine, though. That is because I want to change the way that it works. I want to switch from a party of up to five to a party of up to three. The party members will be in a line. The first party member will be a tank\/damage unit, the second a ranged unit, and the last a support unit. I am doing this because I have backgrounds that will work well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is great to be back to work in an “office” again. It means less time for tutorials and projects, though. But, it is something that I needed to do. I am happy that the company contacted me back in August asking if I would be willing to return. It was a gruelling interview process, but it was well worth it. It is a bit of an adjustment, though. I often feel tired during the day and am tempted to sign off and take a nap. That is not something that I would do, though. So, I encourage you to keep coming back to the blog for the latest news on my tutorials and other goodness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Good luck with your game programming adventures!
