-Made a better slash animation.
-Two-handed weapons
-More Hazards

Once I add a few UI buttons, I'll start working on hostile mobs.

i recently added the "essence log". every time you get an essence in epoch its story is added to your essence log. every story is a first person retelling of the events leading up to the death of the person the essence came from. a ton of diverse storytelling came from this, and it has a really dramatic effect on the game's atmosphere

tl;dr tons and tons and tons of story was just added to epoch. excited to show this version to people after some proofreading

I want to write a story for an essence.

That sounds awesome. Very dwarfy.

Things like that have been done since the 90s at least. System Shock popularized it.

Yutput may have a different interpretation of events, but Epoch sort of emerged while I was talking to him a lot on skype. We wound up talking a lot about Zelda: alttp and how it's probably one of the best games ever designed, metroidvania as a genre, and me yelling at him to play Dark Souls.

Any resemblance between Epoch and Dark Souls is more than likely deliberate, and a consequence of interests that he and I both happened to be channeling at the time. Yut's 100% responsible for the game, and I'm not taking any credit at all beyond helping him scratch a conversational itch and being one of many sounding boards for his creative interests.

Flick, mind adding a rotate option and a set-to-default (for the options) to Particons?

Are you just wanting the ability to rotate the entire icon before saving it?

Yup.

I'm considering releasing a library for large integer arithmetic, since I've hit a stumbling block with the arbitrary-precision arithmetic at the moment. I had planned to do this from the beginning, as by doing long integer arithmetic I can unroll the loops, which would make them much faster at the cost of significantly reducing their range. "Significantly" here is a relative term, though.

I would probably have double, triple, and quadruple precision integers, which would be 32-, 48-, and 64-bit integers respectively, in both signed and unsigned. Thus, we would have,

/*

 Signed

  bits | Lowest Integer              | Highest Integer            |
 ------+-----------------------------+----------------------------+
    32 |              -2,147,483,648 |              2,147,483,647 |
 ------+-----------------------------+----------------------------+
    48 |        -140,737,488,355,328 |        140,737,488,355,327 |
 ------+-----------------------------+----------------------------+
    64 | -9,223,372,036,854,775,808, |  9,223,372,036,854,775,807 |
 ------+-----------------------------+----------------------------+

 Unsigned

  bits | Lowest Integer              | Highest Integer            |
 ------+-----------------------------+----------------------------+
    32 |                           0 |              4,294,967,295 |
 ------+-----------------------------+----------------------------+
    48 |                           0 |        281,474,976,710,655 |
 ------+-----------------------------+----------------------------+
    64 |                           0 | 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 |

Those are quite a big range, obviously. The only reason it's small relative to the full BigInt class is because that can represent integers in the range [-216L-1, 216L-1-1] where L is the largest list allowed in DM. For example, if L was 5, then it would be in the range of [-604,462,909,807,314,587,353,088 ; 604,462,909,807,314,587,353,087]. Bigger than any of the above, but it won't be as fast, especially if you're doing a lot of calculations in a short amount of time. Nevertheless, as the L gets larger and larger, people will be using less and less of it. Fixed-width, but longer, integers thus become a good balance.

Any ideas on where I should put the main UI buttons? I don't want to fill the screen with too much clutter in one area while leaving others too empty.
Mar 30 2016, 5:29 pm
Put them all dead center of the screen. It'll balance out your negative space and be easy for players to see. It's a win-win!
