I somehow managed to leave this blog unattended for six months. I shall submit the feat as a Steam achievement. Maybe. And yet, there are lots of things to write. They added up, tiny bit after tiny bit, and I was being guilty of wanting to wait a little more …
Hi there everyone 🙂 I figured I would post this small progress report now, even if I don’t have much more to show yet. The past few weeks were not very prone to intensive coding on my part, but I still managed to pull some stuff through. Improved movement handling …
Hi there ! This posts follows up the one about FLNetwork architecture.
