I reworked a good portion of how I display and communicate information to the player. The Player now receives a good amount of feedback from the actions he takes.<\/p>\n

I plan on spending time on paper to better polish the mechanics of my game. When it comes to resource management, I want to ensure two things are occurring in my game:<\/p>\n

1 – players have only meaningful choices to choose from.<\/p>\n

2 – elements of risk vs reward feel as though they are.<\/p>\n

At the moment I feel as those are the two biggest issues in my game. I’ll be spending the next hour or two away from the code to think this threw.<\/p>\n

As of now I feel good though. I’m further along then I expected and haven’t come into any major road blocks. The mind is willing to continue through the night, but the body is tired \":(\"<\/p>\n

I’m getting vertigo just looking at code. Is that normal?<\/p>","time":"December 15th, 2012 1:38 am","title":"Prototyped rework"}
