I’ve officially started work on Apparata Brook!

Okay, I started a few weeks ago. Plus things have been percolating before that.

Today I’m working on the UI of the game, which is all I’ve worked on so far. It seemed wise for a game with a strong management side to it, since much of that will be playing-the-UI. At the moment I’ve got some menus up & now before I step into the mountain that is a settings menu, I’m getting the technical bits of a “News” window going. It’ll be scraping the news from this very website.

Initial Test of the News Feed


[Updated: Oct 27, 2024]
This is an initial test of news "content" for my early game-build to scrape & show in-game. Only this summary will be seen within the game.

I assume that most people will likely check this website for news, or maybe I’m wrong & the summaries within the game will suffice. I’m actually hoping for the latter, because I’ve always been big on games (& game-devs) communicating within the game. But currently the in-game News Feed window is intentionally small so it gives just enough info & not distract from players getting into the game proper.
