  1. This will contain some design decisions and how the hell this game was developed...

  2. 

  3. > Started of as "EAX", quick Raylib testing demo written in plain old ANSI C.

  4. > Extended to have general UI, simple roguelike mechanics and a lot of place-holder content.

  5. > Added buildings, landmarks and terrain sprites created by itch.io guy, finalbossblues.

  6. > Scrapped everything, downloaded Heroes of Might & Magic 2, 3, 4 sprites from vgresourcer.

  7. > Rewrote most of the alpha code in Ada, kept graphics related stuff in C.

  8. > Implemented most Heroes of Might & Magic 3 game data and sprites into the game.

  9. > Started working on modular robust UI system, added a lot of UI theme styles.

  10. > Added SDL2 and XCB rendering back-end written in C, alongside Raylib.

  11. > Scrapped C in total, removed SDL2 and XCB, wrote general Raylib-Ada bindings in Core.

  12. > Added AI package for testing, but it'll most likely never be used...

  13. > Scrapped everything once again, decided to create my own world and pixel art.

  14. > Refactored a lot of code, removed Heroes of Might & Magic 3 game data and sprites.

  15. > Grinded pixel art in GIMP like a madman for quite some time, base size 16x16.

  16. > Added icon and view sprites, view various sizes, icons base size 32x32.

  17. > Refactored UI system, experimented with it, wrote and erased bunch of code.

  18. > Added various more landmarks and locations, that include effects, and their code.

  19. > Spent a lot of time testing, and realized my roguelike movement system sucks.

  20. > Added even more art work, all pain-tently done in GIMP, because I can.

  21. > Major refactorings that used heap allocations and dynamic arrays, but erased, complex.

  22. > Deleted a lot of files, most package bodies, refactored everything with unstring.

  23. > Implemented water, but it's not a biome, this change might bite my ass later.

  24. > Added HoM&M-like movement system, still work in progress, working on other things.

  25. > Refactored most package specifications, I want to work with simple code, not complex.

  26. 

  27. > Present day, refactoring bad (complex) code and grinding pixel art...
