The Chosen

Well, the bad news is, this project is not currently my top priority so it may be a while until I get back to working on it full time. The good news is, this project still has a special place in my heart and I still spend quite a bit of time thinking about it. Even though this is not my top priority, I still have found some time to do some minor coding on some of the smaller features.

I have added unit order queuing and some simple code to show those orders so now the units can be moved through multiple waypoints effortlessly. I’ve also added the distinction to separate your units from enemy units, and adjust the cursor icon as necessary. This also includes code to prevent you from moving or mass selecting enemy units. I haven’t incorporated actual teams yet, which will allow for allied units that are not yours to control, but not enemies to attack, but that will be the next addition. I’ve added some minimal code to link the GUI to the action by showing the currently selected units in the bottom left of the screen, giving a count for each unit type and listing every unit. I’ve added code to allow the game to be played at any resolution, and even full screen, but for now the game will remain at a constant windowed size. I’ve added a splash screen. Recently, I’ve added the text display part of the GUI that will inform you of unit completion or base attacks. This has all been added and tested but still needs a little tweaking and I will probably incorporate much of it into the current scripting system, but that’s a task for another day.

All in all, I am bummed out that I can t spend much more time on this, but it does give me something to look foreword to when I finish the other projects I’m currently vested in.
