Wow, seven weeks passed by since dev log 34. Time to give you a quick update.

Tech Tree

Currently I’m working on the tech tree and its interactions with the level system. There are artefacts you will get from beaten levels. These artefacts then give access to more advanced equipment in the tech tree.

There is still much work to do and hardly illustrative stuff to show. Sorry, no screenshots this time.

Side Project: Book

I’ve started writing a short book about a specific game development topic. At the moment I don’t want to reveal more information about this. The only thing I can say right now: it should be done within this month.

I always wanted to write books but kept waiting for the right time. But then Rage Against the Machine’s Guerilla Radio opened my eyes. I just stopped postponing and kick-started the first idea on my book ideas list.

What better time than now?

Due to this small side project Nordenfelt runs on 50% at the moment. No worries, after the book is finished all attention goes back to the game.

Cheers,
Thomas
