Another month without much to show (well, there is a little bit to show related to mouse cursors). I fell short of the main goal: porting EditField to prodUI. This sucks, but it’s worth taking the…

I started work on a simplified UI system, with the intent of using it as a test bed for editField. Neither are ready for public release (though editField is now mostly functional). I also dabbled…

I spent about half of May getting some LÖVE libraries cleaned up and released on GitHub, and the other half struggling to expand my text box implementation to support multiple lines. My approach backfired, and…

This month’s prototype level.   Some gameplay footage for the month.   October Summary: Added a player ‘above-screen’ indicator Cleaned up ‘extra health’ item, added ‘extra life’ item Split ‘proto_e’ into submaps and added it…
