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

Okay so, I'm like a week late. Thankfully, I'm not losing yet again.

I'm STILL working on the key/button rebinding systems! I'm getting about 5-10 hours a week in on Sully right now and this looks like it was a 40-50 hour boi.

Currently I've augmented the systems for full subscription/unsubscription. Gayo didnt go the whole mile 10 years ago when he made XNAVERGE, but I can hardly blame him

It only works with actual xbox controllers atm and I need to figure THAT one out (probably need to use a different input library ultimately? Anyone have good c# recommendations for both win/mac?)

What's left on this feature, though?

1. The UI isn't yet completed. I'm past "choose a virtual key (i.e., up/down/confirm/cancel etc" and "choose unbind an existing key or bind a new key" and I'm past capturing diff'd keypresses. But now I have to go down about 6 if/else paths because this is a very edge conditiony problemspace. Like: "how about never unbind the last key for an action, lest you remove your ability to play the game or even fix the problem." Stuff like that.

2. I need to add savefile stuff for this all! Dehydration and rehydration, baby!

Anyways, I bet this is what my next post is about too. Alas.

No pretty screenshots yet!

What have I done in the last few days?

Started work on the keyboard/controller remapping features!

It's boring! It's needed! I'm doing it!

Today's update is pretty light unfortunately. Moslty I've been doing DaY jOb StUfF but in regards to Sully Endeavors I've... assisted in merging the Demo branch into Mainline and still that ended up being mostly John.

But I started.

...viva la Gruedorf.

Whoops, forgot to post.

Now, most of this effort was Ustor, but Thursday and Friday I also put in a bunch of work culminating in this:

and this:

...and now the work begins for the PUBLIC demo!

The website work from last time was in preparation for a public demo!

Ustor and I are rushing on prepping one. He's done a buncha work (️) and I've bugtested... but also I've started working on various polish bits like... Opening Title Cards!

I had a previous WIP, but I really didn't like the direction it was going, so I've been working on some design ideation today!

Wanna see some sketches? Of course you do!

Did you know that "doodling" is work if you call it "design"?

Hey look, I updated sullyrpg.com and breadbros.com!

Man, I have committed SO many css crimes. But rest assured that the site is usable on a Galaxy Fold now.

...which has less horizontal resolution than VERGE 1.

This week:

• Fixed a bunch of breaditor bugs (the port broke the context menus and a few editing operations because of one library trying to override another library's const. lol?)
• Finished the first pass of the full Dungeon of Love! Take that!
• Added Sparklies to the Green Chests when you enable them (???????)
• Started debugging the Standalone Demo (?????) (?!?!?!?!) (!!!!!)
• You get no pretty screenshots
• okay: maybe one

Yes, it was only an hour, but some weeks, that's what I have to give.

Some weeks, that's all anyone can do.

But you did it, so you continue to not-lose!
