Nice work Tom.

 

Agree about Aggrors tutorials. They really help with the scripting.

 

Like the Inventory. I assume you will be making a HUD for your players stats ( Aggrors earlier tutorials cover this ).

Thanks, I wasn't sure if I should put stats while walking around as they are shown in the inventory screen but I suppose it is better to see them at a glance too especially if you're being attacked so I think I will do that after all.

That inventory menu looks very professional! Nice job!

 

I think that it's also cool that the game looks like it's still running in the background, so it adds sort of a strategic and immersive element to it (since in real life you don't magically play items in your bag right away).

Thanks, the game does still run while you are digging in your backpack so you need to make sure there are no enemies around while you do your searching! You can't just run around searching and picking up lots of things quickly and then check them out later, you have to take a bit more time to see what it is you found and if it's worth holding on to. It more closely simulates how you would do it in real life but I need to make sure it's immersive and fun and not tedious so an easy to use inventory is important. This wouldn't work well for a fast paced run and gun game but this game will be a bit slower paced so it should be ok.
