\n Putting off map design by messing around with cameras.
\n Alrighty, that stuff is being put off until later.<\/p>\n

(IU*ASHDOIUAHSD Fed up with my original concept. Need to come up with something new. At least what I’ve made so far is really just an RTS base.<\/p>\n

…later…<\/p>\n

HAVE A NEW CONCEPT!
\n This new idea is completely different to my original one. But luckily, most of what I have so far can be used.
\n It is now divided into two distinct areas: RTS & RPG. (I do use the term RPG VERY loosely though.)
\n I will explain more later once both sections are a bit better.
\n RPG mode now has nice cameras and keyboard\/pad control.
\n RTS mode is, well, the same as before so far.<\/p>\n

The split has occurred in code. Will work on both much more tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Progress (not in gif form.):
\n \"\"<\/p>\n

Very little has happened apart from the town layout.(and the comically bad mini-map) I usually am terrible when it comes to level\/map design but this is alright.
\n I will elaborate on things tomorrow evening I hope. I have a lot to do before I comfortable talking about it.<\/p>\n

No whiteboard photo today as it’s near identical to yesterdays… \":(\"<\/p>\n

\/\/Discuss technical stuff
\n Alrighty, I should have talked about this in the first post.
\n Language: AS3
\n Libraries: Flixel
\n For coding I switch between FlashDevelop and SublimeText.
\n Making music I use main Logic Pro. Occasionally Reason.<\/p>\n

Yep.
\n At this rate, it’s very possible that there’ll be no “art” by time Monday rolls around. But there should be a game and a good deal of music!<\/p>\n

Song of the day: Spiel mit dem Feuer (Piano version) by Saltatio Mortis<\/strong> (Sorry, no link for this one.)<\/p>\n

I’m open to taking questions about this design as it might help me solve some inevitable problems.<\/p>","time":"July 23rd, 2013 6:33 am","title":"#7dRTS log: Day 2"}
