Alpha

So here is my kinda-alpha... Still quite behind, seeing how much code I need to add into the game and instead I play with the terrain and water and bushes and flowers and all of those things.
Its really hard to get everything needed just from the free assets and its quite frustrating when you imagine something one way, but then it's completely different due to restrictions... But it is what it is. I think it looks decent so far...


Difficulties:
Cursor - I tried like 10 different tutorials and I still can't get the cursor to work. I have seen tutorials where people just put in "Cursor.visible = true;", and it works perfectly... but sadly, not in my case.
Dialogue - I tried using Fungus for dialogues, because it looked simple enough and doesn't require coding, buuuut... I don't know how to make it active when you click the NPC... Oh wait, I forgot I don't have the cursor... Yeah. It all goes back to the smallest problem.
I have few plants and bushes around the map that, technically, can be collected, but aren't just yet, because... no cursor!

    Hi Ada
    Thanks for commenting on my last blog post. Your game is looking really good!! I can tell that you definitely put in tones of work into it. It looks like a small village! I can really relate when you've mentioned your second problem with the dialogue goes back to the smallest problem because I know how annoying and frustrating these things can get. I have a similar issue with my character animations.
    But, from the photos you've shared I can see that your game has really taken its shape. The mini map looks great and did you end up getting the inventory to work properly? I hope that soon you figure out how to get the curser to work. Best of luck with that!
    I'm really excited to see how you'll continue on and for the end result!! Great work!

    Hi Ada, I literally have the same problem as you, I play around making things look somewhat nice by adding textures and what not, My cursor doesn't work even though I have this little dot pop up but it doesn't do anything...I have to say you're really good at designing and modeling the environment. I mean you have a frickin' sea and a village and all. Question: are you using the standard assets first person controller? Cause if you are then you could just follow Jimmy Vegas' tutorial on the cursor. Also, do you have NPC's in your game already? If so show them off, Shaun might like that. Since you're adding random stuff in instead of code(like myself) you could add a ship in the background for the aesthetic purposes you know. Anyways, really good progress keep it up, can't wait to see more!

Introduction - Hey! I don't bite.

Taken from  DeviantArt Hello!  My name is Adriana, though it is too long and I usually go by Ada. I am 22 years old, studying Creative Digital Media. Previously I had studied two years of Architecture and Interior Design in Blackrock, so if you ever hear me talking about architecture and furniture - now you know why. While I have finished the two years with total of 4 distinctions and few merits, it wasn't exactly what I wanted to do in life, but nonetheless it was a fun experience, as we got to design various of spaces - rooms, houses, garages, shops and so on. Apart from the boring course work, the biggest adventure was the travelling to Blackrock. I had to take two trains, and sometimes a bus to get to college, which usually meant waking up at 6am. I am not a morning person, so it was the biggest pain in the world at the time... but there was something soothing in taking the train. Maybe it was the journey, maybe people, or temporary calmness? I don't really know. Movin

Final GDD - Witch's Apprentice

Link to the DunDoc ...After completing my DunDoc , I feel more like a botanist than a creative digital media... I will never look at the plants the same way again. Anyway, I updated my document with a lot more information - including descriptions and image references for the characters, as well as the offers of the merchants, so hopefully they will feel a little more human-like now. I included a whole list of plants that will be available in the game, as well as gemstones and rare, buy-only drops from creatures. Now you can also imagine how the map will look like - with somehow detailed village layout, and the surrounding landscapes. System specs, sounds, game flow chart... all added in! So, enjoy?

Source So for this week, I been working again on the Game Design Document. This was mostly to make sure that the document is full of informations about my idea. It sadly takes a lot of time that could be used up for doing the actual project, but at least making the presentation is a bit more fun than just writing all the text on a plain white page or on the DunDoc website. Speaking of DunDoc though - the interactive story will be very strongly based on what I wrote on that website so it might be worth checking out - Click! If everything goes according to the plan, I will finally start doing the story this week. If things slide back, I will just abuse the easter break to do it, since then I will have free time and a good few other projects will be already done at that point.
