I’m very proud of what I have created thus far. I finally mastered what I needed to in order to make my GUI for the game and to have it carry some nifty functionality along with it. Unfortunately, it isn’t enough.
During a brief moment of clarity today while writing a musical piece for the beginning of the game I realized that I have more options available to me than I have allowed myself to see. That being said, I have decided to incorporate some new modules into my repertoire. This will give me the power I need to achieve some of my plans (colors and music for starters).
It’s been very fun making this first area of the game. I am developing both the area and the game engine at the same time, adding what I need to either one when the time arises. At times I feel my code has become a bit messy and it makes me feel less good about it, but everything in-game works perfectly. I am hoping that with this new direction I am headed in I will be able to take the experience I have gained thus far and can create a better product.
