• Jumping back in with server-side improvements, and battle updates to come
  October 21, 2020 by internationalfish#server-side, #clojure, #unity

  So a lot got in the way -- the whole pandemic thing hasn't helped, and my young spawn also demands some time occasionally -- but I finally got back into working on this a bit, so I figured I'd resurre... Continue reading
• Reimplementation of client has (already) started
  April 23, 2020 by internationalfish

  1

  #unity3d, #refactoring

  Going through the slog that was getting targeting working (which I... kind of... did), and constantly finding more and more TODO items in the code, it became clear that I'd buried myself in cruft. So... Continue reading
• Working ATB-sensitive active unit switching in battle
  April 20, 2020 by internationalfish#unity3d, #rpg

  When I wired in the ATB timers, I made sure the UI would queue units who were ready but didn't have focus, so it ended up being fairly trivial to get available unit switching implemented (minus the st... Continue reading
• The first UI indications of working server-side ATB timing
  April 17, 2020 by internationalfish#unity3d, #jrpg, #atb

  It's been fits and starts, but I'm very pleased with the progress since last time. And, once again, it's a bit hard to see, so you're going to have to take my word for some of it (or not, but... what... Continue reading
• SNES FF-style battle UI started
  April 10, 2020 by internationalfish#Unity3D, #SNES, #Clojure, #JSON

  Battle UI started! :) It's just the really, really basic layout, so it's not exactly amazing to look at. But... here you go anyway! Now, I know Ms. Jacalyn Anity might not be the most common name, par... Continue reading

  
• Menu refactoring and map reformatting
  April 04, 2020 by internationalfish#Unity3D, #Clojure, #UI

  More menus! It's almost the same as the last gif, with some important differences (not least of which is the doubled frame rate). The bottom left 'GOLD' panel is the same type as the three small subme... Continue reading

  
• Dynamic menu generation from JSON in C#!
  March 30, 2020 by internationalfish#Unity3D, #JSON, #C#, #Unity, #Clojure, #UI

  So it was nice having the fun text dialog boxes going, and I imagine they'll come in handy, but I really wanted to get generic menuing (there's that menu-as-a-verb thing again) implemented. I got most... Continue reading
• Upgrades. Meh.
  March 19, 2020 by internationalfish#unity, #json

  So it turns out there's not really a consistent cross-platform way for Unity to persist files that aren't part of the installation locally. Not really their fault; just how it is targeting so many dif... Continue reading
• First menu action!
  March 16, 2020 by internationalfish#Unity, #menus

  Clearly getting a little more comfortable with the ins and outs of C#. :) There's still a lot to do (dealing with vertical and horizontal overflow, delay-then-scroll on holding up or down, getting thi... Continue reading
• Dialog updates, scaling trouble, and starting menus
  March 16, 2020 by internationalfish#unity3d, #dialog, #controllers

  After a bunch of struggling with resolution (I still need to nail down exactly how the Pixel Perfect Camera is going to scale itself, which seems like it's going to be a struggle), I got everything at... Continue reading
• Significantly improved dialog display and input delegation
  March 15, 2020 by internationalfish

  Something fairly substantial on the client side this time, though it might not look that way. :) Two important things are now happening. First, dialog has pagination! I started off with text that was... Continue reading
• Classic dialog boxes, round one... fight!
  March 13, 2020 by internationalfish#unity3d, #jrpg, #dialog

  Aha! It speaks! There's a lot of good dialog managers out there for Unity, but they tend to be really heavy, and since my logic and data is going to be in Clojure, I figured I'd just get that old-time... Continue reading
• Human sacrifice, clients and servers living together... mass hysteria!
  March 13, 2020 by internationalfish#unity, #clojure

  Despite actually looking slightly worse (the whole 'walls' thing on dynamically generated maps hasn't been a priority yet), I've made a significant amount of progress. The client now asks permission f... Continue reading
• Initial status, server and client
  March 11, 2020 by internationalfish#clojure, #json, #unity, #sprites

  I started a devlog on TIGSource , so I'm going to keep this brief and then probably mirror posts from now on. At the moment, the server handles basic authentication and processes messages (connections... Continue reading
