​While I was creating the necessary screens to display these new additions I began to realize it was getting a bit cluttered at the beginning of the game. My quick solution was a clean and concise selection wheel. The clean and concise part is still a work in progress but I’m quite proud of it in it’s current stat. I was able to delete hundreds of lines of code and simplified a lot of the menu commands and logic in the process. There are still some little optimizations to be done but this was a big step in the right direction from a game design perspective. Essentially it gets the player into the game faster every time.

This week actually flew by pretty quickly with abonbon getting a project from her day job and us all attending funeral gatherings for my grandpa with me as a pallbearer. On the side I’ve been picking out a few sound effects here and there to re balance in Audacity. I try to play around with different reverb effects and pitch changes to find something that sounds right and then balance the volume. There is still a long way to go in this regard and I have a lot to learn but little by little the sound effects are coming together.
