also note that I am behind in adding some tracks.
If you would like to contribute a song that you have written, please send me the file in wav or ogg format
along with written permission for its free use in Piworld and any Piworld related content.
This however does not guarantee that your piece of music will be used. If your music is chosen your name will be
included in the credits and you may receive exclusive pre-release content as a reward!

========================Piworld Progress Update #2========================

Total Progress: [..........] (<10%)
Screenshot/Demo: (attached)
Things finished: n/a
Things being worked on:
I did not work on the progress tracker these last two days, instead I have been reviewing C++ and learning about proper coding style. I feel that I should really get to know the language better before I jump into full scale development of piworld. However, in the name of progress I will be continuing with development of the progress tracker now, once it is finished I will break my time into working on the piworld storyline, the map editor, and learning more about C++.
SPOILER!: Todays screenie will be a hand drawn rough draft of the piworld overworld. note that it is a poor quality scan so you may not be able to make everything out, but Its better than nothing!

========================Piworld Progress Update #5========================
you may have noticed a slight lack in progress, this is because I was working towards getting my drivers
licence. Which I now have! also  I have been working on an idea of how I will do the state machine.

========================Piworld Progress Update #7========================
Total Progress: [+.........] (>15%)
Screenshot/Demo: (see avatar)
Things being worked on:
made new sprites, storyline slowly but steadily progressing

lately I have been lacking in writing progress updates, but progress has been happening none the less!
A piworld sprites poll was made and from it I developed a new main character sprite. This style of sprite will
be the basis for the rest of the piworld graphics. Also mionet has a completely new forum
(I switched from zetaboards to phpbb3) and the site has been giving a matching theme.
www.mionet2.com
This marks a fairly big change for mionet as it moves away from being a site for randomness/spam and more
focused on game dev. Also school will be starting soon so I have been feeling rather pressed for time, and I
really am shooting for /at least/ finishing the storyline before summer vacation is over. I will begin posting
updates on the storyline as well here (in terms of how many pages completed). Once the storyline has been
finished I will continue building off of my older work to create a plan for the state machine, map file structure,
etc. After this is done I will create a map editor and begin creating the actual game content!

Pages complete: 35/88
Pages unfinished: 53/88

========================Piworld Progress Update #9========================
Total Progress: [++........] (>20%)
Screenshot/Demo: n/a
Things being worked on:
I finished the storyline but some people are reading over it which is why there have been a lack of updates.
I have also started a "Piworld 2" storyline but that does NOT mean I will necessarily make it into a game some day.

========================Piworld Progress Update #10========================
Total Progress: [+++.......] (>35%)
Screenshot/Demo: n/a
Things being worked on:
Been a while since an update, but no piworld is not dead. Progress has increased slightly since last time,
but nothing too major. Currently it is on hold for a different smaller project, called meiro which is another
pc game I am working on. (no plans for a calc version as of now)
I do have the piworld storyline back and in regards to that aspect of piworld,
 it is still actively being developed when I am not working on meiro/busy/lazy.
hopefully there will be many more updates to come for this project over the summer (as well as the calc version!)

How's this for a necropost?  ;)
My interest in calculators faded away, and the game dev projects I tackled in my youth such as this were far beyond my capabilities.
It's been a long time since I've been around here, but Handmade Hero has inspired me to pick this project back up.
Right now this is all in pencil and paper planning stages, but consider this project alive again.

I'll probably make a new topic in a week or two if PC projects are still appropriate to post around here and assuming the board is still alive, but I couldn't resist posting here like a phoenix rising from the ashes  :P
