Phoenix Game Development

I have added support for persistent enemies to the game. Now, when an enemy dies (Or surrenders) their body will remain in the world across multiple runs. Their inventory/loadout will also remain. I have also made improvements to the client/server system for persistent objects. AI Companions now have the ability to draw weapons and engage […]

I have recently completed a lengthy process of debugging and improvements. I was focusing more on legacy bugs that had been on my bug list for a long time, and I managed to finally fix a large number of them.

I am still working on debugging and improvements. I have made some improvements to the planet generation system, as well as fixed some GUI issues, and improved readability when the background highlight effect is turned on.

I have also added new clothing types for the AI, and a way for some NPC types to […]

The testing overall went quite well. The bugs were mostly minor, and almost all are now fixed. Most of the issues […]
