OK, ten hours have past already, but I just woke up. Breakfast at 13:00, no problem. Have kindof an idea for the islands, but not really sure yet where it’s going.

Also, it looks like I’m going down a very dangerous road, of trying 3D stuff. First time, yay. I’ve been playing a bit with my setup before, going through the Redbook, but never actually applied to a game. We’ll see…

Of course, since 3D is so hard to make look good (how the hell did they do Gears of Wars out of triangles, I’ll never understand), I’m going for a very minimalistic “retro” style, with flat shaded polys (no textures, except maybe for some UI elements)

Also I find the title “Islands of Misericord” to have quite a sound to it, although I’m not even sure it means what I want in English, and also I have absolutely no gameplay or background idea as of now.

Bah, all in good times.

Yay, greenish heightfield!

Also, for the curious, I’m using my own lib evöL, more or less a SDL wrapper, along with LuaGL, which despite being quite the suck on some points, is pretty cool.

Also, I’m planning on making the main input device a gamepad (with of course equivalents on the keyboard), because I have one, and it’s cool.
