Is the engine stand alone?

Is the engine stand alone? Nope, we are able to switch between being a player and being a "maker" with a key press. | |

It just means that I'll never get to play with it and push it to its limits of what it can do and tweak it and the suchlike. I'd be nice to have tools like this available for any project someone wanted to make, and if they made it standalone I'd personally be willing to purchase such software for BYOND. | |
Naaahh

Zane, adding a story line to SA would make it fun, and quests..
So do that and release. Hehehehehehe. | |
SpiritAge is meant to play like a sand box RPG. Putting a story line and quests alone then releasing, would not quite follow our vision.

On the one hand I could spend a week programming such software, not gonna lie I'm not the best programmer and it'd probably have half the functionality that this one does, or on the other hand I could voice my opinion about how I'd enjoy such software and offer monetary value to it. But then I'd get yelled at for having an opinion, right? | |

i call this "dropbox" and mixed with a little bit of "communication" Dropbox is kinda a terrible tool for source management. It's only good for archiving. | |

Yut's known to drift between being an okay guy to being a troll, Plus there's also some hostility with this game in particular.
This is a pretty innovative and interesting program, Handy if you have consoled yourself to not being able to learn how to program properly. | |

What do you guys mean when you say, "sand box RPG", anyway? I assume it means something like Skyrim with a little bit of Minecraft sprinkled on top ( the aspect of being able to create your own worlds and content ). | |

a seperate directory for each programmer in the project, and backups every major version. You wouldn't need to do that with proper revision control. Rather than having everyone working on separately you could have multiple people update the same file and have their changes merged together automatically. If one update breaks the game you can just undo that very specific change rather than rolling back the entire file. This also works in reverse as everyone should be getting updates as the other programmers push out their changes. That way everyone is working on the same version of the game rather than multiple versions which are outdated. | |
yuts apparent hostility towards us goes without any good reason. I've never even had a casual conversation with the guy. and from what people have told me Its rooted deep. dont know what's up with that honestly. if I had any ill feelings towards the guy id probably just ban him. just to avoid having any interaction with him.
but that's not the kind of resolve I want. | |

When one person reached that-- they call me "crazy". When two people notice the same exact traits, it's considered a theory. | |
I think it is a easy for everyone except yourself to see that developing with runtime and code will quickly overpower developing in the black & white for the lifetime of a game. I have also given myself the ability to focus on larger tasks and unique additions to the game, instead of wasting time adding new trees and swords.
As a programmer, if you can automate a task, why would you not?
