Alternate Reality X - Release 0.75 - Changes

With the public release of Alternate Reality X 0.75 looming for the end of September 2016 I thought I would talk a little bit about what you can expect to see, what I didn't manage to add and my general approach to have the completed 1.0 release in your hands before the end of the year. I had planned for this release to complete ALL the elements of the City and the Dungeon that I see as combat and encounter related. I didn't achieve that for a number of good reasons but I did make some very significant steps that put the project in a much stronger position than it was in before. One of the big changes was to add all the remaining Dungeon monsters as to date only the Well Lit Area and Fixed Encounters had been added and to animate them all. One major change which I had not committed myself to making was using the original 8bit Dungeon monster data directly from the binary files. I was previously using simple text files which whilst easy to update had numerous errors, lack...

Alternate Reality X - The Final Stretch

Following my announcement that I'm planning to complete release 1.0 of Alternate Reality X (ARX) for Monday 5th December 2016 , the final stretch of development work has begun! It's great to have that clear goal in sight. I'm pleased with progress since the announcement but there is still a lot to complete before December to get all the features added so I'll need to push myself hard and stay focused. I'll be devoting the majority of my free time to making sure I meet my target, chipping away at small issues when I have a bit of free time and maximising the time I spend on development. I want everyone to be able to play a complete, fully integrated City and Dungeon for Christmas 2016! Visualising that goal tells me it will be a great personal achievement for me - and hopefully players will enjoy the results too! As I go into this final stretch any assistance people can provide through donations to the project, however small would be particularly helpful. Thi...

Alternate Reality X - Plans for 2017

Following my review of 2016 I wanted to follow up with a taster of what you can expect to see and play in the coming year. There are other projects and interests I want to cover and talk about in 2017 but this post focuses solely on Alternate Reality X which is my top priority. Here is an outline of the key areas of development I'm planning to complete during 2017. There may be some changes to the order of this list but this is the general outline I'm working to just now. Complete Item and Inventory Changes (currently in progress) Basically updating all the existing code in the game to use a more flexible item and inventory format, essential for implementing future changes to custom items, enchanted items and procedural generation of City clothing items. Currently this code supports weapons, armour, clothing and a number of special "quest" items. The changes to the City Smithies and Damon & Pythias shops are completed. I need to add in the procedural ...
