• Dungeon Change
  April 27, 2020 by The Lost Sectors#Dungeon, #perspective

  I'm still on the fence about this, because I do like the appearance of creatures walking towards the party, I'm thinking of doing 3d dungeons with the 2d landscape. The game felt, literally, flat jus... Continue reading
• Update
  February 11, 2020 by The Lost Sectors#Update, #engines, #delays, #dev life

  Making long story slightly less long, when last I posted Unity got rid of their low end networking, or kinda did, but not really, but did, but will, but did with nothing to replace it and no plan to r... Continue reading
• Scaling back for now,
  June 28, 2019 by The Lost Sectors#Alpha, #Design Doc, #Google Doc, #Rules

  So, it's been a rough 6 months for me with this. Unity has done some weird stuff with their networking API breaking one of my tandum projects that used this code, and only thanks to Mirror am I able... Continue reading
• Devlogs I meant to post and one I have to report
  January 31, 2019 by The Lost Sectors#networking, #unreal, #Unity

  So, I haven't been here much, but that doesn't mean I haven't been busy. Mostly, I've been reworking how to do the maps so that there is better optimization of the world through object pooling, which... Continue reading
• Why I dread clean up
  August 08, 2018 by The Lost Sectors#Stats, #Attributes, #Scriptable Objects, #Too much choice

  Starting the code clean up this weekend and thinking about Scriptable objects and their place in Unity regarding my stat system. If you've seen the videos you might have noticed two columns for stats:... Continue reading
• Character Creation In Place
  August 06, 2018 by The Lost Sectors#Character Creation, #Update, #Refactor

  Refactoring a ton of code is next. I don't like most of my naming, or my grouping, and I'm pulling it from multiple sources so I want to basically revisit all my code and clean it into a more managea... Continue reading
• Does it have to be fun
  April 21, 2018 by The Lost Sectors#combat, #fun, #progress

  I can Thank Matt for this one. I had been struggling so long with how to make combat fun, when he just asked "Does it have to be fun? We love Questron, but that combat is decidedly not fun..." It's... Continue reading
• It's the little things
  April 05, 2018 by The Lost Sectors#flee, #run, #combat, #break

  It's been a while over the holidays and with my day job since any significant changes have happened to the game. Cleaning up code and adding comments doesn't make for compelling reading, but it is wo... Continue reading
• Thanks and progress
  November 28, 2017 by The Lost Sectors#help, #doors, #light, #commands

  Let me start with a quick thanks to Weenstance from for helping me work through my block with how to handle commands in a semi-modular way. I'm on to the next stage of things, and getting some more s... Continue reading
• Quick Update - Visual
  November 26, 2017 by The Lost Sectors#Graphics, #Map

  Adding a quick video update of changes this week. I'll do some posting about the changes later tonight!... Continue reading

  
• Out and In
  November 13, 2017 by The Lost Sectors

  I'll try to get a new video updated later, but for now felt it was just time to ramble a bit about the code I'm running into with this project. Output is in a good place right now. I have a command b... Continue reading
• On the subject of visibility...
  October 27, 2017 by The Lost Sectors#scriptable objects, #commands, #spells

  The next part of the process won't have much that's 'visible' for users. What I'm going to do next is make it so that spells and commands (as well as items someday) will be ScriptableObjects within... Continue reading
• Finally done with Line of Sight (kinda)
  October 16, 2017 by The Lost Sectors

  1

  So, here's the ultimate problem I had with my line of sight code. (I'll post my code at the end of this). In C# Math.Sign(0) returns 0. In Unity Mathf.Sign(0) returns 1. Why? My guess is just to a... Continue reading
• Lost in the dark
  October 03, 2017 by The Lost Sectors#Lighting, #movement, #other light sources

  Still wandering around trying to get all the lighting exactly right. This is taking more time than I expected. I have a formula for illuminating from a single source (the player) but I'll eventually... Continue reading
• Seeing is believing
  October 03, 2017 by The Lost Sectors#Darkness, #Illumination, #Line of Sight, #los

  I'm struggling with line of sight this week. The cardinal directions are easy. If something is in your face, you can't see directly behind it. But how do you handle a tile that is 9,4 away? Do you... Continue reading
• Text Parser Test complete
  September 12, 2017 by The Lost Sectors#First, #text

  First Post! I'll try to keep these regular on some level, but we'll see what I can make happen. Now, for my update: I have a more than working text parser and learned quite a bit about scriptable obje... Continue reading
