TileMapEd v3.01:

Added a "New Map" dialog box to TileMapEd (previously removed until I could update it for recent additions to the tilemap header format). @HadroSoft

Since the August Patreon demo is done, I've got a few days to kill, so I'm working on improving the UX in "TileMapEd", 's map editor, so whoever else on the @HadroSoft team who wants to build levels for Acronia in the coming months, can do so

I actually... really... kinda enjoy making GUIs and applications. It's a different set of skills from making a game, but there's also some overlap there too.

I think that's all I'm gonna work on for tonight. Play some Rise of the Triad and dick around. What's even cooler is, that completes everything I had planned for 's August snapshot. Anything else I'm able to get done in the next three days is all gravy. :3

devlog for tonight

- Fixed bug/oversight where Jumpers don't do any damage at all on Easy difficulty
- Restored Bruiser's ability to pick you up and throw you into walls, as well as pick up Jumpers and throw them at you (was previously removed because of a bug, and never restored until now)

A preview of something from the manual I put together for the demo version of (which releases tomorrow!)

I'm really proud of that monster description. It's like something out of the Doom manual.

Whew! Productive day for dev on ! Fixed some nasty bugs and worked on polishing up some levels. Should have the free demo ready for patrons next weekend, and then onto a week later!

I feel like I've finally gotten over a slump I was in with this project, and now things are very quickly going to accelerate. If I knuckle down, I might have the full version ready to go on sale by Christmas 😲

I've been spending my weeknights working on a side project, while I hit it hard on over the weekend. I feel that's the best use of my time lately, with how busy and distracted I am during the week.

Anyways, this side project of mine... thanks to everything I've learned from @theLobdegg over the past year-plus, I feel like it's the best, cleanest code I've ever written in my life. I'm pretty proud of it.
