So I lost an account. Like, genuinely lost. I know the username. I don't know the password or e-mail address.

where's a set theoretician when you need them.

Eh? What do you know! I now have a semi-working trade price calculator for my game! Well... sorta. I have a base-cost price that is then taxed thrice (Settlement, provincial and regional taxes).

Merchants don't pay the same taxes when buying from you (you pay taxes in other ways, that still needs to happen), but they will have an amount that they are comfortable to offer you to open with, knowing they can turn a profit. That is now in as well.

Technically, this system is okay. There's a little trade game's start in here now, but it's nowhere near done. Next, I need to add what items merchants sell, what items they buy, and what items they're willing to go all in on if you happen to have them. (You don't just walk up to a town and the merchants there will buy whatever. They're very specific about what they'll buy, and from where. Same with what they'll sell. Think Morrowind, but instead of flat-out refusing to buy from you if you have stuff they don't like, they might low-ball you or, worse, it might harm your rep with them.). In order to do that the player's inventory will need to happen at the same time.

Then, I need to get a haggling system going.

Speaking of, for some reason last night I fell into the rabbit hole of looking through jewellery of ancient civilisations, and while the context of some of the finds makes my stomach feel very poorly (seriously don't look this stuff up, you will have nightmares), I will say that, honestly, very fancy even today.

Our craftsmanship has certainly improved, we can work much finer much more reliably as our tools are incomprehensibly better than anything they would have had to work with, but they were indisputably masters of their craft.

Morning fedi

ChiralTheAlien, 9 days ago to random

Today is the first of May. New month, not so new me. At least it's an off day. My plan was to stay in bed for a bit, write some, and then draw, but I think what I'm going to do is spend today working on my game. I have started from scratch again recently, and for the first time have built up a system that not only actually works reliably, but is both easy and kinda fun to interact with.

I have said it before and I'll say it again: anybody, and I mean ANYBODY who refers to women as "females" is not worth listening to.

Hi, all. No stream today. I'll be back on Saturday.

Speaking of, I'm spending this morning's art time on Python and listening to the Surviving Mars soundtrack.... XD

ChiralTheAlien, 18 days ago to random

In a similar, but unrelated, story....

Tomorrow's art stream may or may not go ahead at this point. We'll have to see tomorrow, largely because of how quickly this week is spiralling from "this is great" to "everything is on fire". I'll let you know probably tomorrow somewhere.

At least things are getting towards the end now.

I'm allergic to cats so of course I'm the one my friend's cat randomly came over to sit on and softly headbutt twelve times. ​:aqua_crazed:​

I should probably get into the habit of updating more often...
