This is absolutely true. This particular Game in a Week was too ambitious for the week, largely because VectorStorm wasn’t ready for this sort of tech; I’ve spent much more time adding tech to the engine than actually building the game!
Ordinarily, I would have dumped this tech and implemented the game entirely in 2D on Sunday, to finish the Game in a Week by the deadline.. but the tech is all extremely applicable to MMORPG Tycoon v2.0, so I’ve stuck with it.. I’m now hoping to have Lord finished this coming weekend. But it’s probably going to be a rocky release, like the original few Game in a Week games were, as new engine technologies were being tested by lots of new people on hardware different from my own.
