Ferulorum

keeping this one super short tired, stressed, beaten down right now, just doing some stuff to tie up loose ends and try to learn some things I should have a long time ago. going to also start adding a changelog of the new project to this until I make a separate page for it. Version 1.1.15 - -now have 16 types of logger message each with its own color and small descriptions for me to remember there use - -collecting all the different types of logger message types -leaving the warnings ill try fixing them again lator -just trying to fix two warnings and then ill move on from the debugger for now - --might have just got logger working -making logger - -making a logger first time - -backed up all code -added text for version number and put it in top left -moved fps to bottom left -fps was rendering under background -moved some files and broke everything on accident Chamoisee-Canvasback Version 0.0.00 -im about to give up on learning git again this is insane -I cant even get the first two steps to work properly lol - -might have just got logger working -trying to make a logger - -working on logger - Dev notes - Very excited to start this, anything could happen or be made during this project I know i'm good enough to do what I want just need to execute should be everything I need there is a new shader library tempting me I think I hold off though -first window opened and non of the includes causing errors -changed my mind sticking with sdl2 people online said sdl3 not fully ready yet -all files put in a neat folder and extracted -downloaded source code for SDL3 ttf -downloaded source code for SDL3 mixer -downloaded source code for SDL3 image -downloaded source code for SDL3 gfx -downloaded source code for SDL3 better to make the jump now I think

Consider buying the game being a donation lol I've included an image of the shire in this upload hopefully to convey my feeling of reaching the end of a long, unexpected journey. I was expecting the making of this game to be much faster because from the beginning it was mostly meant to be a project to get better at c++ and get over the fear of putting something on steam, and while it was never going to be technically impressive or a smash hit I just couldn't bring myself to call it done while it was even rougher than it is now (god is it rough). But as you can tell by the title the time has come, I sat with my finger over the publish button on steam for a long time and to be honest I think I basically had stage fright, but it had to be done my old bad code and poor game design decisions have made it so I'm basically backed into a corner as to improve the game would take huge code changes and probably changing the game on a fundamental level. That is not to say I hate this project I am extremely proud of making it to the finish line and the blood and sweat I put into it but I know this isn't a game people will love its just missing that core thing that a good game needs and my ability to keep focusing on just the same thing is at its absolute limits. This week I made some good progress filled out the game with some more content and variety and fixed lots of small issues, specifically every item is now in the game and the hero's now have a lot more options. I also started tweaking some of the Ui to try and make it more readable. In the coming weeks the plan is to continue working on ferulorum and fixing the last of its small issues and also to transition gradually into my next project. I've actually already started what I'm calling Chamoisee-Canvasback (just a stand in code name) by setting up the project file and downloading the library's I'm planning on using SDL3. Im also going to wait about a month to do a post mortem but the long and short of it will be that feru...

-accidently left level up bug in -noticed I was calling a function 12 times unnecessarily just called once now -heros now get one of the 50 flavor text randomly -made it to 50 hero flavor text lots of old quotes -Changed the icon on my exe to a little green hero -adding more hero backstories 24 right now -rearranging stats panel to try and add readability
