I think the world ended a few +times, the general state of everything everywhere got worse, and several of +the things you always thought were good have apparently been for evil and +malevolent causes all this time. Welcome to humanity. (Some exaggeration +implied.) + +*Locally,* I made a few things! I'd originally written this in chronological +order but that didn't work well. No sorting guaranteed from here on. + +I made a Dragon Quest IX alchemy thing. You give it the name of an alchemy +recipe; it tells you all the ingredients that are needed, and all the +ingredients required to make each of those ingredients, and so on (down to +ingredients that can't be alchemized). That took a while to make - *mostly* +because of the gigantic file storing all the recipes in the game (that I've +discovered) that I typed out by hand. It mostly looks like +[this](static/media/10-recipe-file-screenshot.png). + +I worked on Ludum Depot 38 Cool Edition a bit. [Ludum Depot 38][ld38] is a +game [eevee][eevee] and [glitchedpuppet][glip] made; Cool Edition is an +endless (infinity waves) version of that game that I'm working on. Basically +I implemented a few suggestions that Opa-Opa gave; +[read them](static/media/10-thanks.png) if you're interested. + +I made a program that more or less imports images into [Sploder][sploder] +games. (You can't import images in the custom graphics editor, and even if you +could, they'd only be 16x16 tiles; which wouldn't be manually feasible for +large tiles!) That ended up looking something like this: + + + +I wrote a bit about it [here][sploder-magic]. + +I made [a quick "game"][cupcakes]. It's pretty boring; the main fun of it was +implementing [the engine behind it][cupcake-src] from scratch. (The only really +useful part was seeing klinklang's object implementation, which was quite +possibly stolen from somewhere else. I'd link you to klinklang, but it's a +library that's somehow been split up and used in a bunch of eevee's games; +it doesn't have any central repository as far as I know, so I'll just direct +you to [eevee's GitHub page](https://github.com/eevee/).) + +I turned [a whole bunch of GameFAQs text][grotto-guide] into a more +human-readable PDF and [printed it][printed-guide]. I'm pretty satisfied with +the result, even though I'll probably never read that guide more than once or +twice (and then, only specific parts of it); but then again, that's kind of +how references are. + +I also technically drew a [thing](static/media/10-whelp.png), but I'm not +really impressed by it. I didn't *really* feel like drawing when I made that +\- you know, that itch to make something and see how it turns out (even if it +ends up entirely imperfectly/terribly). So it isn't quite as close to me as +some of the other stuff I've drawn (mostly what I've posted on this blog). + +So not a horribly boring week! Better than [quick update][a-quick-update]'s +one (er, three), that's for sure. + + [ld38]: https://eevee.itch.io/lunar-depot-38 + [eevee]: https://twitter.com/eevee/ + [glip]: https://twitter.com/glitchedpuppet/ + [sploder]: http://sploder.com/ + [sploder-magic]: http://forums.sploder.com/index.php/topic,504355.msg6410307.html + [cupcakes]: https://twitter.com/towerofnix/status/864434231107366912 + [cupcake-src]: https://github.com/towerofnix/Lexy-and-the-Quest-for-Cupcakes/ + [grotto-guide]: https://www.gamefaqs.com/ds/937281-dragon-quest-ix-sentinels-of-the-starry-skies/faqs/61151 + [printed-guide]: https://twitter.com/towerofnix/status/865376968249925633 + [a-quick-update]: posts/7-quick-update.html |
