Another week down and I would rate this one 8/10 not a perfect week but one with good consistent progress. Last week I had some trouble with saving and while my solution is not pretty its one that works and I can use with lots of confidence along with this the shop is basically done (wow). it actually wasn't to hard to implement I just kind of grafted it onto the item and stockpile code which is a nice change of pace due to these systems being newer and reworked, If these had been done at the beginning of the project like hero's I would have had to redo a lot of stuff (I have improved).
Including a picture of Patric star to represent my mental state again.
In the week ahead the plan is to tackle hero leveling and balance and hopefully put together a demo, I don't want to jinx it but I think it is all green fields ahead. I don't have plans to add any further functionality that I haven't done before so all that's left is making the game as fun, interactable, understandable, and satisfying as possible. While this is probably the hardest part of making a game Ferulorum is so small that it shouldn't be so bad, so I need hero levels, the final boss, final dungeon, balance, end game, loading screens, and just polish.
Hope you all had a good week and have a good week this week that's all Ifor this one
