Codename: Calculi

Well, as you may have noticed, I don’t update this in ages. There is a reason for that: friday night, feeling a terrible, terrible pain on my stomach, I was rushed to the hospital where I was diagnosed with a kidney stone. I stayed there for 3 days, taking a lot of pain medication and dying of boredom, and in the couple of hours I wasn’t sleeping, I was thinking about the game. In the few minutes my thoughts weren’t “Damn I wish I could be making the game right now”, I thought about the gameplay and realized that it could be better. So I changed it. Almost completely. I think the game is way, way better now. I also affectionately codenamed it Calculi.

I got back from the hospital changed: with a very clear view of the finished game, knowing exactly what has to change and be added and knowing how it feels like to give birth to several babies. So, no new screenshots or demos or anything for a bit. I still am not able to work in the game like before since I still feel unwell(probably from the painkiller overdose), but I am working on it. I will try to post some screenshots or videos tomorrow.

I have also decided that the game will have a last public beta, which will be just like a full game. I won’t tell you what will have on it, and this time I’m not saying it because I don’t know what it’ll have :P

In some unrelated subject, I bought a book to read in the hospital called Sharpe’s Tiger, and I have to say it is really good. I have read more pages today in the bathroom than I did in those 3 days in the hospital(no, I didn’t spend hours in the bathroom, I just didn’t read in the hospital. Damn painkillers), but I am loving it. The author’s style is very simple and if you wrote like him you would make your literature teacher frown on you, but the author gets it just right. The book is by Bernard Cornwell by the way, and there are like thousands of books in the Sharpe series(gladly).

Anyway, I will go back to the game now. And before I forget, my deepest thanks to the Blitz Basic community that is always willing to answer my questions. You all have been a great help so far :)
