Codename “Abandoned”

I have a bad feeling about art department and now that pritam left there's a possibility that nothing will get done in a long time, so I took a few web lessons on pixel art and decided to push art at least to stage1b: having one area complete to test editor, engine, gameplay etc. Cause that's out next stage. Extensive materialization. It's also the key to progress.

I wanted to keep this a secret, but I figure a teaser would raise motivation at least a bit.

This is the area I'm working on - codename "abandoned".

Dynamic Component Registration

So I have found the absolute [i]best[/i] way to solve the whole "run-time Component allocation" fiasco. I'm very pleased with myself. :D

[b]Problem[/b]:

Let me give you a description of our problem. Have a look here:

The cause of frustration may not be immediately apparent. When the entity is constructing itself, it must construct each of its own components. So what's wrong with that?

The Entity has no way of knowing every component type. The solution for the time being was to hard-code cases into the ugly switch statement so that we can manually initialize individual components at load-time.

This solution is pretty undesirable, as this means that every time we create a new component, we must also add its case to the Entity's component construction list. Fuckin' gross.

Cave Tileset Continued Continued

Small update, it's getting closer to what I want.

I made some progress on the cave again and I really like it, but until I've figured out something about the tile layout it may still be scrapped again.

Alright, I just started on Alfreds sprite and animation, though I was recording the process of the first standing frame I lost the entire video somehow I or it didn't save and I'm really pissed, I'll just record when I work on the animation frames perhaps instead. We'll see how that works out later. Anyhow, I thought I'd show everybody the little sprite, how it looks, right now.
