Malevolent Planet 2D - Cleaning Up

Hello! I wanted to make this report earlier, but I got a lot of other work I had to go through because last week I wasn't able to do anything. The medical trip was very difficult and it started off from the very beginning on the wrong foot (unintentional pun :D), but the surgery itself went relatively well although there were plenty of complications after (spinal anaesthesia seems to have more unpleasant side effects than the surgery itself).

Now ironically enough I feel like I need a vacation after this trip, but there is a lot of stuff that needs to be done and I'd like to do it this week, so that I can take it a bit easier next week with the Christmas and New Year holidays.

Here's what I want to do for development this week:

Bugs:

  • The bug I mentioned 2 weeks ago mentioning some kind of issue when you quit back to the main menu, it turns out that it was fixed by something else I did previously so again we don't have anything here.

Content:

  • I have 2 scenes to draw for the new content.

  • I have 2 maps to integrate into the game, you have to follow a river upstream and find out what's at the destination.

  • Integrate the gameplay sequence into the maps, starting from the very beginning with commencing the mission in the mission information center galaxy map.

  • Integrate the dialogues into the gameplay sequences.

Releases:

  • I want to release a patron build this Thursday/Friday in the latest. I hope I'll manage to get this done. It wouldn't normally be so difficult, but there's a lot of work on some other side and that's worrying me in regards to the time I can spend on development.

  • I'd like to make another public release this week, since the latest one was 2 weeks ago. This isn't a priority right now, the priority is the patron build so ideally I can do both.

There isn't much else to say for now, but I hope you all had a good week last week and that as many of you get some rest with the holidays coming up.

Thanks for reading this!

I must be missing something or doing something wrong. I seem to always be in the training center in the game.

No worries, if something isn't clear it's my responsibility to make it clear. Can you take a screenshot of your game and post it on the discord?
