Hi, friends.
Hope you’ve all had a good week. Mine’s been a bit hectic and unfortunately not because of Samphi. A bit of background; I’m currently at University and am in my placement year. Instead of working at a company I took self-employment so I was able to work on Samphi for a year. The University aspect of my self-employment is now over so I’ve had a bunch of reports to write …
So not much game programming has been done this week, but there’s still a few things to talk about, so prepare your butts for a quick update.
For starters, v0.1c has been in the beta branch for a week now and nobody as reported that it’s blown up, so it’s now moved to the stable branch. Important note, the save file location has changed, so unless you want to start fresh here’s what you do to copy your save data over:
All you have to do is simply copy all data from AppData/Local/Samphi_Beta to AppDate/Local/Samphi.
Job done! You can delete the old folder now, just make sure your data is out of it first! If you don’t do this the game will still work fine, you’ll just not have any previous save data. Okay, on with the changes.
Apologies for this, but it has to be done! If you're interested why have a read of last weeks update where I explained the issue.
So the only real system I’ve worked on this week is a wiki for the Samphi website. Samphi already has a wiki at Gamepedia, but I’m a programmer and love tinkering. I want more control over how my wiki works so I’m building one!
The system is really fresh, but I’m developing it out in the open on the live site so you can check it out if you want and as it develops. If you head to www.samphi-game.com/wiki/{anything} then you’ll find a wiki page.
If you enter an item that doesn't exists (which is currently basically everything) it will simply show nothing. I think the only item currently ‘plugged in’ is the spade, and that only has an image. So remember, it’s my WIP build, but I figure why not just work on it live so people can watch!
Unfortunately, that’s kind of it for this week. Been really busy with these reports, but that’s all done and it’s back to business as usual starting tomorrow!
So, I have a few things in mind for the next build. First and foremost I want to get chests back in the game. They were in it right until launch when there was a major save bug, so it’s about time they make their return. I also want to plug in the new shears item and look at getting another crop in the game. To what extent that crop gets added depends on how easy the other jobs go, but I’d like to get some work on farming done!
That’s all for this short update. Sorry I don’t have anything more exciting to share! Hope you all have a great weekend and see you next week for builds v0.1d!
