DAY 13 & 14 - DEVELOPMENT PHASE
Yesterday I spent some time at the COGG meetup (Central Ohio GameDev Group) hanging out, networking, and showing my work in progress of this game. It was a blast! Didn't spent time working on my game though, maybe at most an hour trying to get my item descriptions to print to screen. Today I spent quite a few good hours working on an issue with my inventory, where the names of all my items get overwritten with the name of the last item I pick up. It still counts each individual item, but it just names them all the same. When I thought I got it fixed, I ended up getting a data structure error related to an index that doesn't exist. That error in turn has to do with how I'm accessing data through a for loop. I've spent quite some time trying to resolve it with no success, so I ended up doing a Reddit post on the GameMaker reddit. Hopefully I can get an answer.
Anyhow, this week is the final stretch! Blessings to everyone!
