Phoenix Game Development

I have added the changes to the procedural content creator, and run some tests. This also required changes to the story generator, to make sure that the system was not trying to, for example, spawn NPC’s in a city on a planet that had no cities. The next goal is to create a simple introduction […]

The multiplayer part of the game is a relatively small part, but it is important, so I intend to spend more time testing this in future. There were some minor issues with movement and rotation of objects […]
