So I’ve been busier than normal at work lately, so haven’t made any huge advances, but I have been working on the game.

Biggest change right now I’ve been refactoring things to try to make the codebase smaller and easier to work with. I had a lot of redundant code that I was able to combine, and things still work, so that’s a good sign.

Combat works, but it’s pretty clunky right now. You start combat, and swing back and forth on ticks, and can utilize skills that have cooldown timers based on ticks, but it’s a bit clunky right now. It does work though, you can kill things or get killed.

Also did a lot of cleanup around how the panels work, and they now respect the ESC key a lot better; you can close any open panel or inventory with ESC, cancel any actions, and if you’re just standing there, then it opens the game menu and pauses the game…just like a real game!

Once I get combat hammered out, I think the main features will be in and we can start making some areas and see how things feel, get the game to some friends and see what they think about it so far. Stay tuned!
