Hello! Just wanted to make a quick post about Mannux's progress. It hasn't been as much as I'd like due to time pressures; the next 3 weekends are gonna be busy as well with family reunions and such as well. But after that I intend to get fully back into the swing of things. I have already improved the ship landing animation quite a bit; now Tabby actually gets out of the ship! I'm turning it into a working save point as well.
There are a few more things I want to iron out before starting new content; namely, finishing the save system, making slopes work a little better, and even some other random things such as water splashes and spark generators. It is certainly interesting coming back to a nearly 6 year old codebase with much more experience and perspective. Things are much easier to do than they used to be. Just not as much time to do it all!
Because of this, I have come to the conclusion while looking at my growing todo list I am going to need help; I no longer have an artist or a map designer. I have a ton of tiles already made though. If anyone is interested in helping me with this game, particularily in the mapping area, it would be appreciated!
I can usually be found in #ika or #mannux on irc.esper.net. Cheers!
You would think so, but luckily python is extremely readable. That said, yeah it does take a bit of time to reread the code and understand what is going on again. But its not bad. :)
