[Dev Log] Work in progress

Hello,

Following version 1.0, it was pointed out to me that it could be interesting to have an online version to test quickly without having to download right away. So I thought about it, because it is indeed a good point that has been raised.

For the next version, which will arrive quite soon, I am preparing the possibility of having an online version but in read-only mode. This will allow you to quickly test what the editor gives via a simple link, but will not allow you to create something online.

I am also preparing a live tutorial system for the online version.

Version 1.1 should therefore arrive in the week, or even next week. It will also be an opportunity to test the update system that I haven't had the opportunity to test yet.

See you soon

For version 1.2, I'm moving forward on everything that is GUI (the graphical user interface).
The GUI editor was partly done, but it still lacked the ability to define button actions.
So I added a drop-down menu that allows you to choose the type of action of your buttons.

So I created an action manager corresponding to the actions defined in the editor. So, for example, the first button allows you to create a new save profile for the game and then redirect to the game with the character.

On the game side, the interface looks like defined on the publisher's side.

Then when you click on the Start a new Game button, it creates the new profile and redirects to the game.
The next steps will be to save the game and be able to reload it.
I would also complete the automatic saves with the Checkpoint marker that can be added (the automatic save areas of the game progress.)

I think this version 1.2 is going to be interesting.

See you soon

I finished the scene in profile with all the buttons. So we can create a new part that creates a backup file. You can load an existing part from the one you have created.

Now I start on the side of the game. (When you arrive with your character). I've made a minimal interface and I'm going to cut into several versions everything that remains to be done, because there is a lot to do.

Here's what I plan for this 1.2.0:

Added two weapons in the demo (pistol and submachine gun)
Added a simple graphical interface.
The player can pick up a weapon that is added to the player's hand and inventory and updates the GUI of the weapon the player is using.
The player can pick up ammo that is added to the weapon in use.
Each item that can be picked up will display a glow to attract the player's attention and each glow will have a different color depending on the type of item to be picked up.
The weapon can be picked up, so you can fire projectiles and update the mistletoe for the number of projectiles remaining in the weapon.
A viewfinder GUI in the center of the screen will be added with smooth and precise mouse movement.

I think it will be enough for this version that is coming and will therefore add several systems that will set the low for the future.

Of course this 1.2 will also have some small bug fixes that I found.

I can't say yet when this version will be released, it may take 3 weeks or more. I'm trying to release this in October, but I don't give a date.

See you soon
