Things I’ve done in the last week for [SullyRpg.com](link url)
Oh, and Gruedorf’s back. 2021 Forum Lyfe!!!1
This week’s update is a little less spectacular. I’ve done a bit, but I’m going to try and keep my GRUEDORFING to Sully-only for the time being.
Anyways:

It didn’t! How about this screenshot of Mt Jujube’s exterior, art by Hyptosis!

So, you ask, what delightful things did YOU work on in the last seven days, “McGRUE”. If that IS your real name.
Can you feel… the love?
Hey, I upgraded the site, improved the theme, and now there’s 2-factor auth!
(Go to your profile and scroll to the bottom of your options menu if you want to enable it.)
(Also after confirming you’ll be logged out, so refresh?)
Did you know you can update for gruedorf MORE REGULARLY than once every 7 days?!
It’s true. Every valid entry just resets the counter to seven days from itself!
…anyways, here’s today’s valid entry!
I’ve worked on the Dungeon of Love’s Dance Studio setting up a lot of polish before the penultimate encounter.
** Probably more polish than is needed but whatever
I’ve also reworked the entire logging system so instead of just printing debug statements caveman-style to the console I can send them AAaaanywhere. (But for now they’re just going to the console.)
** Also I named this Logger “CaptainsLog()”. Because of the whole marine theme.
…see you within the next seven days!
Today’s update (slightly late, I got plenty done in the past seven days, I just had Keto Superfog Brain last night…)
The post-Big-Daddy-Bubba-Fight scene has it’s first pass! This is one of my favorite scenes in the game, Tons of editing and scripting need to be done to make it more dynamic than 300 raw lines of exposition, but progress is progress!
A peak:
(Weird formatting note: Bubba’s text needs two spaces at the front of line 1 of any box and one space at the front of line 3 of any box to avoid the overwhelming power of his hat and shawl.)
I replaced hardcoded Portrait definitions with data-driven ones that were actively reloaded while in debug mode upon map reload!
And that’s it for Sully Stuff that I can talk about! 
A week late and a weak post, but I got SOME work done:
Still plodding through the input menu stuff; just got a new xbox controller so I can test the XNA builtins and Overkill pointed me at some more generic controller code that’ll just, you know, work with generic gamepads?
Otherwise I’ve got it so bound keys now legitimately unbind! Yay! Now I need to make sure you can’t ever unbind the last keyboard binding for something, and… do the gamepad unbinding, and binding for both (have the if/else’s set up for it all, but it’s a lot of edge cases I… need to add more if/elses for!)
Oh and then I need to add loading and saving of all of this.
Wheeeeeee
28 Days later…
1: Been preoccupied by my day job; I decided to quit it to start focusing on Breadbros full time!
I queued up 3 weeks of social media posts in Fedica in prep for an imminent Demo announcement! It was 2 hours for 13 posts which is less than 10 minutes per to queue up (which is pretty good) but it discounts all the image/video collection time too
The less glamorous part of gamedev -_-
I mean: look at all them!

Oh also did some build system work and tried (unsuccessfully) to diagnose the OSX auto-crash problem
(The Linux build will be much more popular due to the Steamdeck)
Also Ustor has been doing a lot! And our animator Val has been killing it lately! Check out this WIP!
Sully’s beta is now fully playable on the steamdeck as a native linux app 
Working right now on getting the Demo builds building and setting up a deployer to Steam as a private beta

Aiming at end of month, let’s see how this goes
(might just be an open beta demo to collect crash reports from people, but that’s still good)
An actual Sully Update: been plugging away on getting public windows, linux, and OSX demos out for Sully!

Also… I was on two panels at PAX over the weekend!
Of minor import:
Got vrpg back up again. What a precious little baby this site is (if I upgrade mongodb it gets sad. sigh)
Of way cooler import: we’re getting more animations into the game! Woo. Check it out:

Of major import:
I’m on two panels at PAX this coming weekend:

…and as such I’m working VERY hard to get the Linux Demo for Sully up before then so I can do a public demo release
Let’s see if it happens
@bengrue Today’s gruedorf…
