Development Update: August 5th, 2024

Coding and Aiieeeee

The UI code layout was terrible and now it is usable and we’re not done yet. We’re not done yet. I’m just over halfway done because Vendor and Equip taken together are about 1/3rd the total actual UI code.

Maybe another week and change and the UI overhaul is done. I’ve massively improved the system, even found and fixed a few bugs, lowered the memory footprint, and improved load times. Oh, and the code has a lot of removed redundancy.

If you don’t understand what the hell I’m talking about, it’s coding stuff. It means I’m spending time now to save gobs of time over the next few years. When new games are made or new UIs get added to RoP, such as switching party members, it will be 1000x easier to do it with the new code layout. Invest in your future, hire a coder today!

Periodic Budget Report

I publish these when I feel like it. You know where your money is going, it’s going to ART.

ART

Urimas is working on those idle animations and Hund is making a map. I have several candidates selected for possible new hires, and Dias is working on the bunny TF comic.

I am hoping that all of the TF sequences will be ready for chapter 2 by the time work resumes on it after the Carnation prototype is out.

Tales of Strings: Instruments is on Amazon!

If you liked the look of Tales of Strings: Instruments on Itch but had some kind of problem with itch.io, now it’s on Amazon. There are some services like audiobooks that you might have access to for free if you already have Amazon Prime, try it out!

I’ve seen a good reaction to the story so more are on the way. :3
