Update for 11/26/21

Hey everyone. Here's the update for this week. 

I had a bit of a medical scare several days ago, which slowed things down a bit. Randomly and suddenly got hypothermia for no discernible reason and then had a headache for the next few days after that, so I had to take some time off to recover. 

I am back to working again now, and have resumed the UI work on Adventure High. I am very close to finishing the main menu. It was quite a lot of work that needed to be done in it's entirety before I could upload, since a half finished main menu would leave the game in an unplayable state. The main menu is essentially 5 pages; 3 main pages, an options page, and the save menu. It's probably around 90% done now and once it is I will upload those new UI updates to the live version of the game.

After that will be the process of updating little bits and pieces such as the arrows, character select icons and other small things before moving on to the remaining large pieces such as the battle screen, item store, enchantment shop, and monster ranch. 

That's about all the news I have for this week. So, I'll resume working on the UI for now. 

Status Update for 11/20/21

Missed last week's update, I've been pretty severely buried code work to the point that I pretty much forgot to update anything for a while. So... Sorry about that. 

I have some exciting news though for Adventure High fans. The new UI has finally arrived. Which is a large part of why I fell silent; I've been buried in working on learning all the bits and pieces involved and trying to assemble it. I have a few examples to show here:

The loading screen will probably need a bit more tinkering, the save search box doesn't quite fit so I may make it something that pops out instead of always being on screen. 

The Live Updates version of the game already has the new loading screen. The new pause menu is still under construction. I'm halfway through designing the spells menu and then I will need to finish the inventory menu before I can upload that change. 

Anyways, that's about all I have for now, as this has been consuming my life. I will try to get my next progress report out on time. xD
