- ♖ Charlotte the Intern! - 15 February 2016
Hello everyone! I'd like to take a moment to introduce our new intern Charlotte. She will be doing a lot of the initial, base data entry for the game moving forward. She's handling a lot of the grunt work, so three cheers for that! As always, you can find our sData updates and entries on the Bitbucket site here: https://bitbucket.org/silverquestgaiden/silverquest-gaiden-sdata/overview Here are the last few commits: https://bitbucket.org/silverquestgaiden/silverquest-gaiden-sdata/commits/all The wiki that we will all be using is also located here, so be sure to check that out! Thanks, Wolf
- ♖ Clarity regarding Mods/External sData - 26 January 2016
Recently we have gotten several tweets and emails concerning the externalization of our sData folder, as well as opening up our sData Bitbucket. There has been some confusion about what opening up the sData on Bitbucket really means. Here are some bits of information that we hope will clear up this confusion. The "vanilla" folder in sData is created by Wolfgame. The "vanilla" folder will be viewable by going into your Steam Installed Games folder on your PC and opening the files. Only we will be editing distributed the "vanilla" folder. The "vanilla" folder exists to show our data to the community and for potential modders. Players of the unmodded base game needn't worry about non-canon or broken data being in the base game. If you mess up your installed "vanilla" folder by messing with it too much, use Steam to "Verify Integrity Of Game Cache". This will revert your "vanilla" folder ba…

- ♖ [sData] Added to Design Documents - 22 January 2016
We are adding our internal XML files to the Living Design docs list. This might not always be a public database, but we want to show what we're working from. We're also added a completely public Wiki to the bitbucket. You can contribute to it in any way that you see fit. Please give it a look below. http://steamcommunity.com/app/333380/discussions/5/458606877312779826/ http://i.imgur.com/XTAcJJv.png
- ♖ Living Design Docs - 21 January 2016
Hello everyone! I wanted to tell you about the fact that things are progressing forward once again, and that we'll be showing our Design Docs as we more forward. I've provided a link to the documents that I'm writing and that we will be working from below. We are also shifting to Unity and away from Gamemaker. OSX users rejoice! Gamemaker is a fine engine in its own right, but not appropriate for a game that is this data-driven. Those of you who might follow me on Twitter will also be aware that I will be able to do some fun and extra scripting in Unity in order to make fun mini-games and other polish and "quality of life" things that I was not able to do in Gamemaker. This also opens up some new and fun rendering things to play with. Additionally, the content and "gameplay" that is in the game as it stands will take a very short amount of time to get up and running in Unity. Frankly, t…
- New Programmer, New Engine, Living Design Docs - 21 January 2016
Hello everyone! Good news! We've found a new programmer!! He's skilled in both game development and database management. Finally! We're honored to have Bret Hudson onboard. We are integrating Bret into the project right now. He is learning the design I set out a while ago. I had to generate new, organized documents for him. These documents are not 100% complete, but is the framework from which he will be working. I've provided a link to the documents that I'm writing and that Bret will be working from below.

- [Blog] Almost Practical IMGUI - 10 May 2015
Gooier Still In the previous installment, I suggested some viewing and reading material to acquaint oneself with Immediate Mode GUIs. Hopefully you’ve checked that out but, if not, the following should still be easy to follow. I really wanted to get into the meat of the SilverQuest Gaiden implementation this time but as I was writing it seemed like a good idea to provide a very simple example to build from. So here it is. A Very Simple Example This example is based entirely on the pseudocode given by Casey Muratori in his talk. Below are the IMGUI properties defined in the IMGUI object. These are shared by every element in the GUI. /// IMGUI Properties{ // ID Tracking ACTIVE = -1; HOT = -1;} ACTIVE and HOT can hold the value of an ID code unique to each GUI element or control. ACTIVE takes a value when a control is being clicked on. HOT takes a value when a control is being hovered over…

- [Blog] Immediate Mode GUIs - 17 April 2015
I’m taking a big a detour today. I expected to post the next installment of the dungeon generation series. But another aspect of SilverQuest: Gaiden I’m currently dealing with are GUIs. http://i.imgur.com/EjcorrU.jpg When I talk about GUIs in SQG, these are things like the player character generator and the options menu. The way they were written is a little scatter-shot and difficult to modify. I had decided what I needed is a proper GUI library. This seems a daunting prospect. I’ve made them before and never been wholly satisfied with the results. I think this is a pretty common feeling, if social media is anything to go by. When I think about GUI libraries, I immediately gravitate to GEM-style systems. This is not because I think they are particularly good. Rather it is because GEM is the first “modern” GUI I was exposed to as an Atari ST programmer. So, I’ve been reading my dot matr…
