It’s taken me a long time to start getting back into Alternate Reality X but I finally have my most recent version up and running again on a different computer, with the latest version of the Code::Blocks development environment and the latest packaged release of the SFML multimedia library. I’ve used both of these for some time for ARX development and it’s good to get these new versions installed and working properly with my most recent ARX code before I get stuck into the next stage of development.
I still have some of the new artwork to incorporate into the current version as well as lots of things I see in the program and on the screen which I really want to tidy up. Next step is to draw up a list of these issues that I want to fix for the next release and then start fixing them. I’d also like to get some new content into the next release as well as just bug fixes so let me know if there is something you really would like to see me work on next.
I play ar on the Atari computer, what made the city exciting is if your character died it was erased from the disc. That made you really think of your actions on the encounters and potions. It made the game more real to me.
I could always add a permanent death mode for those who wanted it but I would have to get everything working and bug free first 🙂
Good to see you back at it.
Thanks. Hopefully lots more updates now even if they are only small ones.
