EDINA PROJECT OUT NOW

The edina project is out now!!!!

I quit my current project

The idea and the exucution both sucked

Idea Announcement

Hello, interwebs! I’ve got a pretty big idea to share. This won’t take away from the game—it’ll live under the new Projects page. It’s not a game, though. It’s more like a book… although calling it a book feels a little off. It has a bit of a gimmick: each chapter isn’t one long piece. Instead, every chapter is made up of seven short diary entries written by the main character over the course of a week.

I’m aiming to release a post containing four chapters each week. If I stick to that schedule, I should be able to complete a full volume every month.

Before I go, the name of the project is The Edina Project.
As always, I’ll see you in the interwebs.

I Tried a New IDE

This is my second post of the day, but I just want to get my review out there. I tried JetBrains WebStorm, and it was meh :|.
First off, I use the Live Server extension in VS Code because I work with multiple modules (dev speak for scripts), and CORS won’t let me use multiple scripts for some reason. I kid you not—I couldn’t get that to work for the life of me.
Second, I really like the UI. It’s not what I’m used to, but the interface and overall ease of use added some points. It also comes with built-in TypeScript and React support, so :P
The setup process was kind of annoying, but I managed to get it working fine.
So in summary: I like it, but I prefer VS Code just because I know it better than WebStorm. I’d give it a 3.9 — good, but not the best. -Ben from Synapisical.

Little Update

Hello, interwebs! I have some big news: I’m progressing really fast on my game. To be fair, I’m spending like 5 hours a day on it, so :P I’ve already squashed most major bugs, and I’m hoping for a release before summer is out. I don’t have a title or anything YET, but I will soon.
That’s all for today — see you in the interwebs!

Update

Hello, interwebs! I have some news about my game. It’s going to be a text-based arcade game. For example, you’ll get a visitor, and the console will say you have a new visitor and tell you the person’s name and description. You’ll have 11 different actions you can take to gather info on the person. It’s going to be a run-based game, so expect a personal leaderboard of your best runs. I might also add universal scores if I figure that out :) That’s all I have for today — see you on the interwebs! — Ben from Synapisical.
