My PC power supply died (or something); so the next update is going to be delayed a bit. It is really close to being completed. The main delay was caused by the whale animation; originally planned as a 3 frame animation, so 15 frames for all rotation views, it turned into 45 frames. So that's 90 whales I had to draw,
45 rough pencil drafts, and 45 pen and ink good drafts. It looks rad though.
Started on a $500 laptop. Then ended up on a $300 desktop. Now am on a $100 micro PC.
Anyone who tells you that you need a high end PC to make games is a liar.
Right now I am trying to determine if moving work over to the mini PC is worth the effort, or finding a cheap PSU is worth the effort. The mini PC is glued shut for some arcane reason, which means to get the game dev hard drive connected to it, it will have to be external (And slooooow). Blah blah blah. It's a techno nightmare and makes me want to live in a canoe out in the woods on a river.
Also I got some feed back about how updates bonk up save files, this is inherent in the GZDOOM engine itself, there is no real reason to save your game which I why I never really thought about it, other than as a sort of book marker, but this still bothers people, including myself, on a deep primordial level, so I am going to try to keep the updates to once every few months, like 4 a year sort of thing, but each one will be adding content along the way. This first one is a mini DLC in one sense, it adds a Spa and Lounge for your brain to relax in.
Another thing that might as well be mentioned is I am considering is adding the multiplayer components, so if your friends own a copy of A Fool's Art Gallery, you can use it as a sort of VR chat room hang out place when used in conjunction with voice chat software. Maybe you could call it .... a metaverse. I should copyright that.
