I'm back to #Elm and I'm toying with the idea of writing a little point & click adventure game using Elm Narrative Engine (https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/jschomay/elm-narrative-engine/latest/) and Elm Canvas (https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/joakin/elm-canvas/latest/) packages. There's a lot to chew: I need story, graphics (think about something like Maniac Manson) and code. Given my background, code is the easy part. Or at least, I know where to find answers. Right now I'm working on the other two. I've found that ChatGPT and friends are good to develop story ideas and dialogs. I'm revisiting Aseprite for graphics. That's gonna be tough. Pixel art isn't easy. I expect the project will take months and months, but I have time. I'll post progress here on Mastodon. Here we go!
My September dev diary for Empire and Legacy is up: https://johnayliff.com/blog/index.php/2024/09/27/empire-and-legacy-september-2024/
Made some good progress on my jam game. I even put a new build at https://cranky-tapir.itch.io/get-the-goose but there's loads of work to get done yet, it's not a game yet just an in progress tech prototype. Getting close though. If you have anything you'd like to share let me know, I'll be checking the #Fedijam tag regularly to see how things are going #godot #DevDiary #indiedev #gamedev

I will soon provide various ways to test Agorakit using docker. One of them is Frankenphp based. Work happens here : https://github.com/agorakit/agorakit/tree/dev/docker

Tasks for the week:
1) Find a reasonable alternative to #reCAPTCHA. Ideas I have so far: put everything in a manual approval queue; hard rate limit; make user do some simple yet niche task that probably (
) can't be easily automated.
2) Find a cheap transactional #email service with reasonable terms that isn't run by an awful company. Or otherwise: have a manual button for sending semi-automated emails at significant intervals over normal authenticated SMTP.
New #devlog is now up on #itchio with the very latest Time Scavengers updates!

No new dev diary for Iron Village today - facing the reality that weekly dev diaries aren't sustainable if they're taking away from the only dev time you have - hasn't really been a problem until this week. Probably going to scale it back to monthly or fortnightly for the rest of the project.
