Progress on Knights continues. In the last (roughly) two weeks I added the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
require<\/code> and module<\/code> functions were removed (in favour of a new depends.txt<\/code> file) and mods can now include localized text in different languages.\n\n- Eventually the plan is to connect this up to Steam Workshop so that users can easily browse and download mods for the game.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- This does mean some slight changes to existing mods will be needed, but that shouldn’t be too hard to do. Ideally I’d like to get the existing community-made mods (e.g. spiders, telewand, rat rider) working again and available on Steam Workshop before too long.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
There now isn’t that much left to do before the first release, but I want to do the following at least:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Need to do some artwork for the Steam store\/library pages. I will probably just take some images from the game (e.g. the “Winner” image) and slap the word “Knights” over the top and see what that looks like! (Unless any graphic designers are reading and want to help me with this? \ud83d\ude42 )<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- I still want to add tooltips to the game. I don’t want to put tooltips everywhere, but putting them in one or two key places might help, e.g. it might help to have tooltips to explain the various quest options (like “Type of Book” or “Number of Gems” etc).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- I want to do a “text pass” and update some of the in-game text strings, “credits” text, and so on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
See you in the dungeons!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
P.S. If anyone would like to try out a pre-release version of the game, just email me and I can give you a Steam key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
