After I learned everything there is about the human bone, I decided it would be more fun to blow up digital worlds.
Who knows if it will be done, before the door closes, but I felt why not share a picture of this very tired cat.
(Squash took a vow to not take a nap until capitalism is destroyed and it's really doing a number on him).
Not a lot of chances left to say "I put Virtue's Heaven on my Steam wishlist via a cohost link", so why not do it today?
I watched so much motorsports that I've now started thinking about the similarities between building a racetrack and a platformer level.
I spend the last two Fridays thinking and fiddling around with different ideas for what I would like Virtue's Heaven's inventory screen to look like.
Building a UI that's informative, readable and fits into the game's tiny resolution (256x144) is very hard for me, because I tend to make things larger than they need to be, which is why everything is a bit cramped right now.
It might still be okay? Most of the interactive part is going to be in that upper left quadrant, and I might be able to get a bit more space in there if I fiddle around with the control information box a bit?
I might also just go ahead and see how this looks in game, before I start fine tuning things.
Good thing is that I have nice basic framework for this kind of stuff, so it shouldn't take that long to have something close to this in the game and the go from there.
Anyway, please put Virtue's Heaven on your Steam wishlists, that would be rad:
Note to self:
For future games, make sure to restrict NPC names to five characters or less.
About 80% of the problems I currently have with making this new UI for Virtue's Heaven work, is because I have characters with names like "Which Orb, the Orb Witch", "Dodge-Dog Dennis", or "Existential Roundbird".
Edit:
And before anyone suggests I change these:
No.
