Updates: Another week, another update

I’m still addressing one of the logic issues with Hell Breaks Loose which came about because I don’t like the idea of being forced into a given path.  I jury-rigged an exit-path option, but it was getting too convoluted.  I guess the player will just have to use the back-button on their browser.  🙂

Sometimes, simpler is better.  Who knew?

So I’m working through the spaghetti-code and undoing all the crazy exit-path code, while trying not to tamper with anything else I’ve shoehorned into place.  😉  Still, LOTS of placeholder text, even though I’m trying to write it out… I have been getting three or four lines into a scene, then dropping in my placeholder markers and moving on to the next.

I’m also looking into ways to make for fewer entries while still keeping lots of flexibility and options.  It’s quite the challenge, and I’m having a lot of fun with it.

I did finish Far Cry 3, with most of the Achievements, too… so that’s out of the way.  Now, maybe I will be able to stay focused on Game of Slaves and Hell Breaks Loose.

At my current rate of progress, I expect to have something semi-playable posted by the end of the week.

…and by that, I mean “the end of THIS week”.

…and if I miss the deadline, then I will post a chapter of fiction… as a form of penance.
