Yo! Here's another development log video for Gearend!

++++

In the past week or so since the last development log video, I:

- Got a new enemy in, Rainman, who moves back and forth and rains acid down around him. You can only attack him from the back, essentially (explosives might damage on a large enough radius to hit him despite its hit location; not sure).

- Got a quick-select menu up and running. You can use the quick-select menu to quickly select your loadout, adjusting your equipment on the fly.

- Implemented saving and loading and added a saving NPC.

- Starting creating the actual in-game world, as I wanted to actually create the game, making different rooms with different challenges.

- Got a new part in, the Deterrant. As a plasma shield, it blocks against projectile attacks (not explosives, I think). Not sure about melee attacks; on the one hand, it kinda makes sense, as it's made of energy. On the other hand, a riot shield should stand up to physical attacks. So I have to figure it out. I do know that I don't want it to be an end-all against dodging attacks, but rather something to help you out.

- Added HP and EP upgrades.

- Up-sized the GUI a bit to be more visible.

- Optimized the game a bit to run a lot better, and fixed a small bug in BDX that was causing seconds-long freezes when transitioning between rooms.

++++

Currently I'm standing at 4/6 arm parts, 1/5 core parts, and 2/5 leg parts (counting Epsilon's defaults).

I plan to be done with somewhere around 1 of the 3 zones by the end of this month. Same thing with the second and third month, though ideally, I'd basically be completely finished by the end of that third month.

We'll see about that, I guess.
