Update: The Broken Shard

Just popping in with an update on the Broken Shard.
Things are coming along quite nicely. Learned a few things while working on it. I’ll try to incorporate them retroactively without screwing things up too badly.
There is a bug I haven’t been able to get rid of yet. Maybe I just don’t quite [...]

Broken Shard back up.

The Broken Shard is back up. It seems to be working mostly once again. There are still a couple of things to fix but most people won’t know that something is broke. It also seems to be working for IE and Firefox again as well.
I have some more work to do before [...]

Been a bit since I last worked on the game but I started back up and have added a few things to it. There are more rooms to wander around now. The city is probably about 60 percent laid out as far as the basic city is concerned. Gotta thing of some [...]

The Broken Shard - Update

I know it might not seem all that exciting but there have been quite a few things that are new on The Broken Shard.
There is now an inventory and about 1/8 of the city in place.  Some of the message output has been updated and hopefully works correctly now.
Probably my most exciting thing for me [...]

I have learned quite a bit from my trial and error coding.  Most of that trial and error coding done on Posse Invasion.
The game development, on my part, has [...]

The Broken Shard - Update

Another update here.
Finished the character creation part of the game. It will probably remain the way it is for some time. At least until things get going and I find a need to modify it. Though that may happen sooner rather than later if I convert some of the code over to [...]
