Oldentale anon here (yeah, I'm still here) with a dev update.
Finally got started on programming for real, but I've hit a snag. I'm trying to draw sprites to the screen, but its coming out all garbled and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I have a programmer who's supposed to help me with this sort of stuff, but he's really hard to get a hold of so I'm basically on my own. It doesn't help that the language I'm using doesn't have many tutorials or guides available, and the one I'm using is 20 years out of date.
I'll probably be able to sort this out, but no telling how much trouble its gonna be, nor how many more issues like this are gonna come up. Still hoping to meet that "something playable in September" goal though.
