Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Sorry I haven't updated over break like I said I would, but between travelling, visiting family and friends, and just relaxing, I have been getting some DDP work done.  And I am quite happy with the progress.

My old list of things to do:

• Title and Main Menu - Basic functionality almost complete
• Player Actions (punching) - Complete
• Player Actions (stabbing) - Complete
• Player Actions (throwing) - Complete, but no object is thrown yet
• Other players appearing on screen - Started. Finished Code Rewrite!
• Inventory screen and handling - Complete
• Additional Tiles and Textures - Few Complete
• Autotiling Feature - Complete
• Health, Magic, and Money - Complete
• Health and Hotbar HUD Display - Complete
• Wearable Items (No more nude player!) - On Hold
• Pickup-able Money System, Moz - Complete

Okay, so some of those items are repeats from last time.  But look at all those completed items!  I also introduce the Moz, a small square currency.  They even have a magnetic-like reaction to nearby players!  They come in different colors, by value, and I find it fun already just to be able to pickup something other than the knife.

For now, I am holding off on wearable items, at least for the player's body, as the sleeves of shirts will have to match all of the arm animation.  So I need to make more arm animation, which means more hand items!

Some exciting things are in the works for the near future:

• Thrown knives that are able to be picked up again.
• Target's that can be broken. (Basic Enemy)
• Bow and Arrows
• Guns - Pistols, Shotguns, Rifles
• Melee weapons with different arm animations
• In-Game Menu Basic Functions

I think I'll try to figure out how to make an "In-Progress" page or side item or somewhere on the site wear you can check these items out, and future things that I am planning.

And as a holiday gift, a few screenshots.
