• Loading and saving part 2
  April 02, 2018 by triptych#gamedev, #ibrpg, #tool, #rpg

  More progress on loading and saving today. I had one more aspect that was bugging me. You could save a zip file, but it would always save it as "download.zip". That's not super great, especially if yo... Continue reading

  March 10, 2018 by triptych#gamedev

• 2d and 3d
  March 03, 2018 by triptych

  So the original game is all 2D, but I know that many PS1 games would switch you to a 3D ish mode for turn based battles. My challenge mode will be to add a mode like Suikoden 2 using AFrame VR. This... Continue reading

  
• Lots of js wrangling
  March 03, 2018 by triptych#gamedev, #rpg, #alpha

  I feel like I'm learning everything all over again. Like I'm an HTML NOOB. I can't believe it was so hard just to get the page to work on pageload, and for the singleton to be able to reference itself... Continue reading
