Commander X16

Hi all, I've realised that the majority of the game action takes place via the message window. Quiet Isle is leaning more towards text adventure, with strategy / resource management playing more of a supporting role.  So I've pinched a few rows from the main hexes window to give me more space for t...

Ooh ring bound manuals! My goodness the prospect of flipping through those pages of retro joy shouldn't elicit such eager anticipation but oh boy it does!

Here's hoping Kevin and the team manages to get those bugs out of prototype board 2 soon!!

Hi all, another quick update. Got the rivers, tracks and bridges implemented now - the maps are beginning to look a lot more interesting! Also load and save maps routines up and running <span><span class="ipsEmoji">?</span></span>   <a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2020_09/1490767355_Bi...

Hi all,  I've spent that much time rummaging through documentation for vera trying to find how to set things up and which blasted $9f!*'@! did what,  I thought I'd make myself a crib sheet with all the info on a single page (well, most of it!). I've attached a .png and a .pdf here for anyone to dow...

Hi all, Drawing bug is fixed, and I've added the "only draw the hexes that have already been visited" thing.

Hi all, One step forward, two steps back. It seems very much that This Is The Way for software development. Either that or I'm just inept <span class="ipsEmoji">?</span> I got the save / load bank feature working, and added a creation tool so I can make maps within the software itself rather than h...

Hi all, I've been wading through the dullest of dull bits of coding in the ongoing saga of my first ever game dev. I've just finished getting the player's stat bar "blobs" to function correctly. The routine reads the appropriate byte from the player's stats stored in one of the memory banks (health...
