Hey, all!
There's been a few major features that're being worked on, hence the slow development recently. I'll explain them briefly.

The random dungeon generation is a vital part of the PMD games. I've previously worked on a dungeon generator, as shown here[s17.postimg.org]. Now, it needs to recognise how to place tiles, as well as refresh tiles if walls are destroyed.

True colored text is also an important aspect. It allows players to recognise if someone is mentioning an item, a name, or other unique things. The current implementation of text only supports coloring the entire spoken dialogue's text, not individual bits of it. This requires manually re-implementing linebreaks as well as figuring out the individual position of each character, their width, height, and what line they're on.

Improved netcode is also being worked on. To put it as simply as possible, it will no longer send information on every frame, and instead only update when neccesary, and frequently update other important variables like player position and their actions.



On the bright side, I've recently acquired a professional license for Game Maker: Studio. If PMD:O ever becomes popular, then experimental Linux and OSX builds will be pushed out.

If you have any questions, contact me directly on steam or leave a comment on this announcement. Have a nice day!
