#cyberganked update

I think there have been CRPGs where you encounter another party that has been trying to "advance" in the game world like yours. I'm using Daz3D (or hired actors) for all characters and Daz3D has a lot of clothes and accessories that you can buy and use in a hodge podge, to make opponents look like how your party might. #CRPG

Fixed two big bugs in addition to getting some more features in.

I was returning 0 as the result of all physical attack rolls.

Machinists get a drone, and when a Machinist was at level 7, the game was locking up when the drone shot at enemies. I had this error as the drone looked for enemies to hit:

for (y=0; y<MAXMONSTERS; x++)

Changed that last x to a y, and we're good. The drone is a little too powerful, it never misses, doesn't get jammed, so I may tweak that.

I have two of the features in, the SWAP command, and then shop keepers fixing broken computers. I am not going to give the Street Magicians the "hide" feature in combat. I already let the characters hide, so I'll think of some other perk for level 5.

For the two features, I had to use a pattern where I have two arrays going: one indexed from 1 to whatever with the object number to display a list. Then I have to reference that with the master items array to take action.

Next features to work on are:

- Allow shop keepers to fix broken computers

- Implement the HIDE command for Street Magicians in combat

- Implement the SWAP command for Street Magicians, to turn some items into veggie beefers

- Implement to-attack bonuses for certain weapons

We'll get various retro PCs to fight with, but enemies can break them. I like the idea of being able to pay to get them fixed. And each class has some unique combat commands, which I need to finish.

Merry Christmas! My day job is off until 1/5, so this is my chance to work full time as an indie game maker. My goal is to work on my #WIP text adventure / CRPG hybrid Cyberganked for 10 days, like it was my job.

I want to get 10 days of features, bug fixes and content completed; I'll list my first four tasks tomorrow. I'd also like to make 5 new songs for the game.

I'll use this tag for every post, should this topic not interest anyone out there: #cyberganked
