Day 14: Another Day with Nothing to Show

Project: Space Game (Untitled)
Code Budget: 120 Hours, 90 Spent
Media Budget: 200 Hours, 23 Spent
Other Time: 13 Hours Spent
Day Breakdown: 10 Hours of Code

My code time budget is quickly running dry and I'm starting to think I would have just been better of hand coding the forms vs. trying to make a system, but it's too late now. All the basic text elements are working fine and the function calls are hooked into the game. I just need to add in images and models into the system and I'll be able to create as many menus and interface gadgets as I want with little extra coding effort.

I should have something to show off tomorrow! Funny how I can do a whole particle system in a single day, but it is going to take me three day to build the menu/state system. However, the menu is one of those fit and finish thing that many independent game developers over look and a frustrating menu system can put a player off from a game right away.

Goals for Tomorrow: Finish the Menu/Forms
