One thing I missed about coding every day was the moments I spent not coding. Instead of my mind filled with worries of things out of my control, I find myself musing over bits of code I couldn’t work out. And doing so I worked out the way to add unique tags to tiles on […]

Unity’s tilemap engine has its issues. I can’t quite figure out the best way to tie unique IDs to individual tiles. For example, the pot below says it is empty if the player interacts with it, but any pot would do that. Or any pot could give an item once, but then every other pot

Actually did some work today. Mostly it was spending a lot of time banging my head against how to do collisions until I realized I was forgetting something simple. Whoops. Still, I have a movable player character now, and collisions can be drawn onto the map. Next goal is to get map interactions done, and

Shame! Shame, shame shame! It was my birthday. And I celebrated. I did not code. Hopefully days like this will be few and far between. But, like in the Bible, I had needed rest on this day.

I actually did not open my computer this day. For shame! But I did at least make some notes in my phone about what I want to implement next. Forgive me. I am drunk and full of sreak.

If I fail with this project it is probably because right now I am scrambling around, trying to do anything and everything. If I succeed with this project it is probably because right now I am scrambling around, trying to do anything and everything. "Motivation" doesn’t exist. If you wanted to do something, it would

I installed a JSON package into Unity so I could start making equipment and items. This is the part of making a game I love. There’s something fun about dumping a bunch of data out and then getting to the adjusting phase. There is some rust I am getting rid of, but it still surprises

No pictures today. Mostly wrote out ideas for the "job system" and then started implementing it. The idea right now is a party of four characters and four "paths" to pick two from. This leads to six combinations, meaning potential for replay. Stats and skills will be based off of the selected paths, with bonus

Like all overzealous game developers, I have decided this first RPG of mine will be an MMORPG. Mini Monoplayer Offline Role Playing Game. This is about a realistic scope, you know? I booted up Unity and familiarized myself with the tile map engine that was added at some point when I was not paying attention.

I started coding when I was fifteen years old. Commodore 64. Made a little text adventure about a guy in a time loop. I like time loops. I’m not sure why he was having a café date in a European style country. I must have seen something on TV. It seemed fancy and adult. I
