Major update coming...
Yeah, no, it has to be done.
It has to be done.
There's one cool new feature I'd like to add, which is the ability to make splitscreen more dynamic (i.e., if all players are on the same screen, it doesn't split. If any number players is off in a differening direction than the host player, the screen splits horizontally/vertically depending on relevant information, and the same applies to any triggers that need the attention of all players at once). I don't need to, and I don't know if I'll have any use for it, but more options generally don't hurt.
The rest, so far, is just a massive rewrite of code that wasn't readable, systems that were too bloated/never tested in the first place, and precautions to aid in the process of development. As it stands, you can try and use this project shell as a way of getting something done, but I don't see it as advisable. I'd honestly be interested in seeing someone more in-the-know than me tear down all of my obvious mistakes. Self-esteem issues aside, it's going along smootly enough that my ETA on the update is within the range of December - February. If I lose my hyperfocus again (which is forseeable, since I still have to worry about finishing a GE class for my degree), it may take longer than that. In that case, my hope is that the target ends at least before the summer starts.
Bless the gods for causing me to accidentally reset this page whenever a draft of this post veered off into personal tangent, and have a very nice... Thanksgiving? Not all of you are American, though. Christmas! Fuck me, it's still November. Life, I guess!
