Work Post

3:11am - I've been working for about an hour, maybe an hour ten, maybe even more? I got the interaction system in place, complete with a test interaction. I'm not 100% sure how it'll handle multiple interactables at once. It should only trigger one of them, but I don't know how it'll determine which one. The first one in the array, obviously, but I mean I don't know which one will be first in the array...

Anyways now that I've got that in place, I should be able to make a dialogue system that pops up when you talk to an NPC or other trigger.

It's a bit misty as to what I should do next. I figure I'll put in a simple, placeholder dialogue system, and then on the plan is an event system so that I can change game elements based on things happening, like making dialogue choices. That'll include creating the game's main manager that tracks things like game status.

Then I'll build my basic maps and test the game's trading mechanic idea, with faux combat. Then I'll add the Combat system. Then I'll add the Monster system so you have something to fight, and encounters.

Then it's mostly adding to and refining the game, I guess...

Seems simple enough, but it's still a lot of work. Anyways it's bed time. I have a job fair to go to tomorrow.
