Dungeon Crawler Log 1

5/23/24

Made some good good progress on actually getting the dungeon crawler game in a playable state (still no name for it but that's not my concern rn). I'll eventually want to get to making maps be able to be created from both static images like they are now and randomly generated for funsies.

In terms of how I'd actually like the game to progress, I'm thinking maybe like main story missions being static and pre-planned dungeons while having randomly generated ones for leveling and preparing for the story dungeons. I think that way I can do both curated dungeons that would be fun to plan out and frustrating designs of random generation because why wouldn't I want to add more work?

I think before I can really get into that though, I need a more intelligent way of adding tiles that have purpose to the game other than whatever I'm doing now (it's been long enough that I kind of forget). All I know is that my code is kind of all over the place right now and I wanna do some cleanup that will be very relaxing and not break anything and not take forever I swear...

I still wanna add my changelogs to the games page though, I gotta make a customElement for that, it would be nice to see that page come together and look super cool lol.

Dev Log 1

5/14/24

Working on formatting the site so that I can be happy with it lol. I'm usually pretty picky with myself and how well things work, so it will probably take me forever to come up with a design I like and how it will function. I have ideas though, like how I want these dev logs to be organized based on what they're tied to, like having a section for my dungeon crawler I'm working on and whatnot.

I'd also like to make a lot more of the site be driven by javascript so that I can just add things and they'll populate like I expect them to. I want to streamline a lot of the simpler things like these dev logs for myself so that I can focus more on the actual content rather than be annoyed by the fact that this is currently just plain HTML and not some totally cool process of just like having to write to a text file or something and the site does all the work for me :)

For now, just do what I can. Lots of things to work on but little free time...

At the very least I should change the dev logs to be prettier at some point, this is just ugly lol.
