Picking a framework, among other things

2025-11-27

Hello again! From Oliver.

Just updating this thing to keep some history. Turns out, picking a game engine/framework is harder than I thought. Although I'm pretty sure that's just me being indecisive. I've decided on using a framework, since I want to maintain more control over the internals, like rendering and the sort. Also, I feel like it would be fun to spend time on programming the lower level stuff.

Aside from programming, I've also been spending some time developing the lore and story of the game. My current approach is throwing my entire story in chronological order at a document and reorganizing it later for presenting it to the player. I'm only about 80% sure that I got this from an author's blog, but it does makes sense on paper.

Anyhow, there's a short update to keep things somewhat consistent. See you next time!
