I ran into a complex bug while working on the testing for the second campaign. After some extensive debugging, I was able to apply a solution, but I don’t know if this solution will work in all cases. I have some more testing to do to verify this. The bug is related to the floating […]

I have made some reasonably extensive changes to the mission code for Campaign 3 in order to improve the way that story and dialog elements are presented to the player. I have not done a full retest yet, but I am confident that these changes should work well. I have also looked into the issue […]

I have completed a full retest of the third campaign, including the new story triggers, etc, that I have added. I have run into quite a few bugs, but almost all of them were minor, and have been fixed already. There are still some issues with triggering the story and dialog elements at the right […]

I have also written over 8 thousand words of dialog and mission briefings for the campaign, and this is just a first draft. I am now working on integrating this dialog into the code. I have added a menu to display the […]

I have added several more missile types to the game, with different stats, etc, and I have improved the projectile-based weapons as well. There is still a performance issue when the guns fire a large number of projectiles at once, even with object pooling. I will need to look at this later. I have also […]
