preprod first week progress

This is going to be a weird sentence. But as expected everything is harder than expected!
Doing a game alone is no easy task everyone knows that. But I'm actually just doing a vertical slice and present it as a game!
Still... Progress as been made. I'm just getting lost in my unlimited tasks in all fields. And I like that! It keeps things fun. But it makes the actual coding go a lot slower than if I was only focusing on programming.
​Still, let's present what has been going on.

Organization leveled up

Again. I feel like at some point. Some people are going to join me and help me. And to accommodate. I created my own hack'n'plan to use kanban and priority request I assign to myself in order to increase my workflow and allow anyone to easily join.

Also I'm using tags on top of the kanban to also do good debugging and also if I need to focus on specific types of tasks.

(I also did a tag for documents but I didn't bother to take another screen... Sorry!)

The project evolved a lot

So now I have a debug map that is way bigger than what I showed last.

I also coded a lot. A lot of architecture and not actual features. But I'm trying my best to shape up a system and then get used to it and then surf on it like a beauty.

And I have a first sight of what the game will look like with that architecture. I'm trying to do a lot of things to give myself freedom. The game might have more than one controlled character for very specific instances. So I have to code the actual control managing in the controller but the character functions IN the pawn... Once the polymorphism is done, I'll have a lot of freedom.
Anyway, so far I just have the view of the game and I already feel glad about how it feels. As creative you always doubt. And I do... For sure. But it doesn't mean I can't keep going on and trying.

That should be all for this week. To anyone reading. Take care of yourself. And thank you for reading.

Next week is school week. We'll see how I'll do!
